I'm so pleased with my micro fairing, that I'm going to keep it full time.

So thinking of getting rid of my full front fairing and the bits attached to it.

So:

Full front fairing.
      Carbon vinyl wrapped. Small crack by right indicator. Small crack on underside. Mirror holes slightly lengthened to accommodate FZ1 mirrors.

Left and right in-fill panels.

Left and right mirror sub frames.
       Drilled to also fit FZ1 mirrors.

Pattern FZ1 mirrors.
        Way wider than OE fzs ones. Not as firm as they used to be though.

Super tall touring screen.
        Dark tint. I think it's a powerbronze.


At this point, I'm open to offers.

For the lot, OR happy to split.

I'm in Germany, so I understand this could put a lot of you off.

I'll leave it all on here for a little while, then it'll be going on Das eBay!

Pictures to follow soon.

Cheers chaps. Really enjoyed making that one!


Joe, I have a Drift HD 1080 on my bonce, with a microphone from an "Oxford Bike Mike 3" from the dark ages threaded inside the helmet. The sound isn't quite that clear raw, but with some sneaky EQ and a bit of multiband compression you can bring it out.


The second camera is an Easypix Xtasy. (basically a polaroid XS100 with a different paintjob). And it's horrible! The Drift is glitchy (many corrupted videos, lost footage, freezes etc) but the Easypix makes the Drift seem well behaved! I almost didnt even get to use it on the track day because it was frozen by the time I got there and I had nothing small enough for the reset hole! (said the actress to the bishop).


I'd love to get better gear all round (I have now upgraded to the specific Drift Microphone). but money just doesn't allow.




I quite fancied Oulton Park btw FZSteely. But again, Snetterton timing and cost were more accomodating!!


In any case, have fun!

Nice lights... Good job... But that brake lever says "dropped"

Yes it does!


It had been over (quite hard I think) before my tenure. And I gently dropped it once myself. Works well for me though, I have long fingers!


So less 'dropped', more 'Forcefully adjusted'!!

Here's mine in it's 'Summer Wardrobe' while i was hiding from a not very summery rain storm recently.


Not the cleanest it's been!


Liking the look of semi-naked so much I might just keep it like that for good.

Details

I tried Shell's Premium fuel a while ago (curiosity got the better of me) and found that the bike seemed to 'Buzz' a lot more. To the point where it was uncomfortable and spoiled my ride a bit.


Next fill up, back to standard, an it was smooth as ever!


Same with Esso's offerings.


Maybe something strange about my bike?

There is a fair voltage drop along the existing cables for the headlights, typically more than a volt.
You could install heavier cabling to relays and use the existing signals from the switches to control the relays, that will give you brighter lights.
It'll also drastically reduce the life of the filaments.

I'm seriously thinking of doing this. But my problem would be that I can't imagine where the extra relays would go? Theres just NO more room in that tiny little fusebox under the tank. I suppose the rear left panel by the battery has a bit of space, but that means running the switching wires practically back to the battery.


And what kind of gauge of wire would folks recommend? I've just run in a relay switched spot/foglight combo unit (with relays) and used 1.5mm² cable. But I'm guessing that 2 lamps is about the limit of this cable. If I'd been a little more forward thinking I could have run in a thicker cable from battery to fusebox and branched from there. D'oh!!

Cheers!


Yeah, it was an awesome day!


I had Metzeler Z6's front and rear. And tbh, they did VERY well.


And yes, full leathers or two piece that zips together 360º.

Perfect German mate!


I would imagine it's an allan key at most.


If I had stayed in the UK and bought these mirrors, I'd have switched the allan headed bolt for some kind of thumb screw.


I have done the same with the screw that holds the petrol tank down. It's saved me many a time when I've forgotten to turn the fuel back on after a tinker under the tank!

I did one a short while ago. No kneedowns, but I wore a fair portion of my toe sliders off and my back tire is scrubbed right to the very edge.


It was £89 for the day, and tbh, I don't think I could have ridden that track any more. I was shattered!


I even made a little video...





Or this one if you want to skip the pre-amble...







All in all, I reckon the bike was more than capable. I was in the novice group as it was my first track day, so I'm not saying I'm the best rider, but I was keeping up with and on some of the bendier sections overtaking R1's and R6's. All on my 12 year old commuter!!! 


It must hurt to be overtaken by a £500 granddad when you're on your £5000 sportsbike!

! Private video




lights off, halos only, then lights on

Wow, a Fazer with decent headlamps!! 

And you'll have one yourself , soon enough!! 

How did you get the flash/pass button to work?


I wired mine up so the main beam flipped the solenoid as you did, but this just resulted in a 'click' from the solenoid if the headlights weren't switched on already.


Moot point for me really, as I'm going back to standard.


Stupid EU rules. Auxiliary driving lights, here I come!

That was great  you make some seriously good videos.

Thank you kindly Ol' Bean!
