Yesterday my engine crash bars arrived, so I worked through my lunch and finished work early so I had plenty of time to get them fitted before going out. No fitting instructions so it was all guess work but I think I did alright however I did have to use some different longer bolts in a couple of areas.
A little bit like mine but yours look longer does this help
Fitted
Gotta be careful with Copper Grease as it alters torque settings, and disc bolts should really all be torqued correctly.
Are the bolts t45 as that was what i used to undo the bolts,need to be sure before i put new bolts on and chew them up.
UPDATE NEWSGet some more blue tape and re do it
Bike has a split radiator hose right under the tank, new one has been order but what bloody hard to get hold off, found it with electrical blue tap wrapped around it, clearly the owner before me wanted a quick fix, I'm amazed it's lasted the near 6000 miles with me lol
ive been tempted to paint mine but as its carbon (my first ever piece of carbon or carbon effect) im not sure or not
- prob should take it off have a look and see if i can clearcoat it for a better shine
my fazer is in the garage. bad timing as I sent it in saturday and it was the most beautiful weekend ever and now a 4 day weekend and it might not be ready untill tuesday
its having:
oil n filter
air filter
valve clearances
carb balance
2x new tyres
MOT
possibly front brake pads
I'm missing it alot, took out the Divvy instead and omg does it feel like a riding a rocking horse with a lawnmower engine after getting used to the fazer.
Crossed my mind too, but as i mentioned earlier, the large police station next door certainly paid a part in my final reaction.First time today in 30 years riding i had to remove my lid at a petrol station before the bastard would turn the pump on.Me too. the other day, I just lay the nozzle on the floor and ride off
Kept my cool and didn't say a word to the fella behind the till.......deep breaths now.
It’s frustrating, but acts of petulance aren’t going to improve matters… it’ll just add weight to the theory that bikers are a bunch of reprobates.
We need them more than they need us. If they average a couple of pence profit per litre, the cost of processing the transaction for your 15 litre top-up means they probably don’t break even on the deal.
Here is your one liner for him
Its not that I don't like you, but I would plug out your life support to charge my phone
FOCCING dickhead work colleagues who just don't FOCCING listen to what you are saying as they are too FOCCING busy either talking over you or picking holes in what you are saying as they haven't let you FOCCING finish. If it wasn't for the fact that (a) I'm not a violent person and (b) I can't afford to loose my job because of some FOCCING TWAT faced arrogant FUCKTARD who thinks he is just the best at everything, I'd knock him the FOC out.
Oh I'm with you on that one!!!

Sounds like we share the same boss.
Not sure if I could trust a repaired tyre, I'd play it safe and just get new.
What if it was new?
Mushroom patches are fine and work well.
My rear tyre cost me over £160 in a shop, due to my previous tyre being punctured, and i spotted a screw sticking out of it THE NEXT DAY.
Fortunately it went sideways into the deepest part of the thread and hadn't punctured it, but either way if it had punctured it i would've just got it repaired.
Unless the tyre tread is past half way, then a repair is fine, if it is then just replace it.
