I think the Gen 2 wheels fit with a little bit of fettling.
I did look at this about 10 years ago but never bothered, so can't confirm one way or the other.
I also seem to remember Devilsyam (RIP) telling me that to fit the R1 rear wheel you need to have a disc made up to fit.
Have you been through the Gen 1 FAQ sticky on this forum?
Hopefully someone will come along soon and give you the proper information.

sure someone could come up with something similar for the fazer...... they want 65 quid for this ktm one..... a bit steep i think
I an sure I have seen/read that the early R1 clutch arm fits and because it is longer it gives more leverage

Thinking of having a weeks spin around northern Spain and the Picos at the end of this month, any one got any experience of bike friendly hotels (secure parking etc), within walking distance of bars and food etc, in the area?
Cheers in advance

Hi mate, I still have mine but I am working in Saudi, so not much help I am afraid.
If you had asked a couple of weeks ago, when I was home, I could have sent you the standard lights to play with.

I still have mine, about 26K now. Mike you ivanised it twice, once at my house then a few years later you did the full monty (I think at old sons place) I still like the two tone black and silver storm (skunk colour, or should that be color  ) I have a 1290 SuperDuke GT for summer touring now, so Fazer is for sunny day fun

I have had it three times on the right side of my face and twice on the left, which is apparently very rare. Mine has been bought on by an allergic reaction or a cold draught. If the have you on the anti virals and steroids you should see an improvement in a few days to a few weeks. As said it can take 3-4 months to fully recover, though you may always have some deficit. Tape your eye shut at night or wear a patch to stop damage to your eye, rubbing your eye on your pillow as you sleep. Take care eating that you don't bite the inside of your mouth or tongue. And drinking can cause issues with a floppy mouth. You get used to it after a few weeks and can normally go back to work. You should also get physio for the face, which also speeds recovery up. There is a side effect for the steroids, they made me fat, well fatter. Good luck and take it easy.

Silver tech is the light silver and silver storm is the darker bluey grey.
The colour code in on the bike, either the label on the frame just before the headstock or under the seat

I can understand the logic of RAC and AA not doing accident recovery as they provide a breakdown cover, same with recovery that comes with a new bike.
But insurance company provided recovery should include accident recovery surely?
I am with Bennetts so thanks for the heads up.

Rear view, a few inches wider than the bars.  I also have the E21 panniers which are about half as wide, but don't have a picture fitted Where abouts are you in the country? For both sets of panniers, the rack, side carriers (with locks) and adapter plate I would want £200 (The rack and side plates alone are that)

The smaller (recommended) pannier pictures are on my phone.
The smaller panniers are great for a long weekend away, the bigger ones for longer trips or two people kit.

I have a 2004 USA import and have had no issues with parts, MOT's or servicing.
The original indicators are larger than the UK/Euro models and as above originally are always on and flash off, this would have been sorted by the shop that imported the bike.
Both my headlights are on all the time and dip flat, there is no pass/headlight flash and no hazard switch.
Two tone paint and reflectors on the forks and under the side of the seat.
I have had mine since new in 2004 and it has never missed a beat.

As above, or any good automotive paint suppliers (normally one in every big town)
I got a match from a shop in Harold Hill, turns out it is a Honda colour too, perfect match.
I needed it because my aftermarket belly pan dragged on the floor and the clamps moved on the frame removing paint.
