Apart from the colour, what's the difference between the std Blues and these Gold ones?

Yes, the right as when sat on it (facing forwards). 
Yeah, but how do you get the engine out if you're sitting on the bike, surely your legs will get in the way

Yes, correct for Boxeye.
Foxeyes have 2 H4's

Thanks. I was going to change to LEDs anyway, but I will check the tail lights before I get the order anything.

When I put my park lights on (key all the way anti-clockwise) only one of the tail lights comes on (the left one). At the front, both side lights come on.
Is that correct or do I have an issue on the tail light?

Not sure I would trust it to always restart myself.
On a vehicle where it's been designed to do it is one thing, all the various components will be designed to cope with the constant restarting, plus they have sensors/brains to detect when to not do it and let things recover.
I'll stick to letting it idle.

It's a blanking plug, filling a hole that was necessary during manufacturing.

It should be standard.
Have you got a different vehicle you can try the pump on? Also, you can try the valve cap from something else to check your valve stem.

Doesn't it depend on how you have your feet on the pegs? I ride with the balls of my feet on the peg, moving them forward for gear changes/braking.
If you ride with the middle of your foot on the peg, in the gear/change/brake position, I would think that could make your toes nearer the ground when you lean it over.

Not got a video of my setup, but search for 'bead seater' to see how the proper kit works.
My bar is similar to Sealey TC963. There's a similar one available on ebay and he sells spares for it too.

The center post is a strange arrangement. The lower piece is internally threaded and the upper piece is like a bolt with a shroud around it. On the MC adapter the center post has a threaded end that screws into the lower section. The replacement piece I bought isn't threaded and just sits in the hole.
When fitted the MC adapter is very high, so as one of the many modifications I've made to it, I chopped a removable section out of the base pillar to lower the top when using the MC part.
I also bought a decent tyre lever, as the one provided will mess up the wheel, so budget an extra £60 for that.
I only tried changing one tyre with levers on the floor and that put me off for life. Using this tool makes it really easy. First one took about 2 hours, but most of that was about learning the tricks(and mistakes). I can now change a tyre in under 30 mins without raising a sweat.
Blowing up the rear can be a pain, as Darrsi pointed out, but you can get around this if you have a decent workshop compressor, firing an unrestricted blast in from the side rather than through the valve. Fitters do a similar thing, but have a dedicated small tank and nozzle to do it, but I achieved the same with a bit of hose pipe direct from the drain outlet.

That one won't work with bike wheels. The centre spigot is about 2 inches and won't fit through the wheel centre.
You can get a bike adapter that bolts onto the top of these - but beware that the threads can vary between models on the lower part, so I'd recommend buying the base unit from the same supplier as the the adapter.
Also note, when I bought the center spigot on the bike adapter was still too large for the fazer wheel and I had to purchase another thinner bit of rod to make it work.
As for bolting it to the floor, I put some heavy duty rawl bolts in, and when not in use I put some button head bolts in to keep the profile low.

I should of added, my sprocket carrier bearing had disintegrated and separated, hence the metal on metal screeching. It will be very obvious if this is the problem, just pull the dust seal off and look.

I had squealing that matches your description. At first I thought it was a worn chain too, but it turned out to be a worn chain and a knackered sprocket carrier bearing.

Another vote for PR3/PR4 from me.

How do you know if the shock is bad?
I've been riding on 2 different Fazers for the last 7 years and I don't have a clue whether the shock was bad or not.

Make sure your bar ends aren't touching and restricting the movement on the handle grips.

I've got a set of used originals that came as spares that I don't want. I'll dig them out and take some pics/measurements for you.

FYI, I will take the tyre, provided it's the standard 110 width.
