boxeye tank
fox eye front fairings
USD forks with custom triple trees
uprated brakes with wavy disc on rear
screamed nice nice nice as soon as i saw it
if anyone has any details on it please let me know the modifications below

Not been on the site for a while, but it was my bike you saw. I work at the Harley shop. If you want any details of the bike just call in and ask for John.

There are pics on here. Look under FZS600 USD fork conversion query. Around Feb 15 2008. Just added wave discs a little while later and now has Superbike Low bars

Errr! Excuse me Mr Punk, Yamaha do not do RATTY Silver, just precious silver.
Those that are unfortunate enough to own Fazers of lesser colours all in their heart of hearts desire a Silver :faz

Jaywas I love your seat! and the rest of the bike it's attached to of course. Where did you get it done? I've seen this guy on eBay who does a 10 day turnaround on the original seat that you send him. It looks like he would do a good job but the finished product takes away the possibility of a pillion. Yours looks like a great compromise so......... where can I get one?

The seat is by Bagster, part of Baglux. Don't know if they still do them for the FZS600 though.

Just watched your youtube vid of getting lost in Preston, you were sooooo close to the right route!  At @ 3mins you should have gone straight on at the lights, through two more sets, down under the Uni bridge ad througt the next lights and bear left towards the docks. Then right at the lights at the end.  Should save you @ 20mins riding round the town centre which is a nightmare!

Just to let you know I won't be using the bike for a while but if you want to come over to see it just message me on here, I live in Accrington and it's dead easy to find lol.
