Hi all. Just returned to 2 wheels after a gap of 18 years, nice to be back. Picked up my mint 99 fazer on Friday and can't get enough of it. Looking forward to getting some miles under my belt as the summer goes on.

The later FZS600s have a different fairing and lights, which look like 'foxeyes'. Consequently the earlier bikes were subsequently named 'boxeyes' due to their square fairings and lights.  :)

There is an upgrade you can do to the Boxeye headlight it entails removal of the standard bulbs and fitting two tea light candles in their place.  :pokefun :fish
