A sexy beast!

[Chris]

Nice 

[apage16]

Looking good!


How much of a ball-ache was the digi gear indicator?


It's something I'm definitely thinking about, sick of going for 7th gear!

Learn to count? 

I did that on the Fazer as well. And on my 125. I guess it's a bike thing. 

[apage16]

Must be! Always just wanna be going faster!

[Dave48]

nice looking bike in tasteful settings! Lake Vrynwy? -Horshoe Pass -Barmouth? Wales has some of the best roads for us Fazer types

You're still going for 7th, even with the gearing you're running?!

Sounds crazy right!? I just want MOOORE!!! 


Straight after the change, it did feel like I'd been given an extra gear. It was great! But as with all things bike, I soon got used to it. It's only really when I'm taking it easy that I go for 7th. Fuel economy, noisy can and all that. 


When I'm, spanking it, I never even get to top before the speed limit comes around! Sure I'm not alone there...

...Mmmmm?....friend of mine was like that?...not here now"... ....

Don't worry for me, I have a healthy respect for the speed limit and not going faster when there's no room for it! I'm pretty keen on staying shiny side up. Plus I don't bounce like I used to!

[Fuzzy]

Looks nice Fizzy. Armstrong discs - what's your verdict? Talking of discs, did you happen to sell your original discs on ebay... cos if so I might be the one who bought them off you!

[Fuzzy]

Haven't got any decent pics I'm afraid, bit of a mess atm 

Actually you've made me think I ought to give it a wash and take a photo before winter really starts to take it's toll!

[yamy]

looking good mate better than it did the first time i saw it
still needs a shine

[twosheds]

lovely bike 

[Gav]

Very nice Fazer, Fizzy mate

I've always liked the look of the original fazer shape and happy to have one now myself.  Yours is looking mighty fine indeed. The gear indicator looks like a cool gadget I could put on my xmas list lol.

[Fuzzy]

That is really interesting. I've been wanting to do something like that but I really don't have the resources or skill to make such a bracket. Anymore details?

Always find myself having to look down from the road to see my TomTom and something like this would make a heck of an improvement.

[Fuzzy]

Looking forward to seeing the contraption when it's finished and how much of a difference you find it makes. I have a Tomtom urban rider which doesn't need a case but I imagine it's pretty much the same.

[darrsi]

That's unusual the way you have the wires going upwards on the grips, especially on the throttle!

[Dave48]

Ah stainless domed nuts & washers for exhaust headers-good move!

[darrsi]

That's unusual the way you have the wires going upwards on the grips, especially on the throttle!

I disagree, the other way is just wrong for me! But what really wound me up when i received the kit, sat reading through the manual was that oxford even said they could be mounted both ways, so why the foc did they decided to have OXFORD upside down the way I have fitted them? bastards  .


Probably because the majority of people would have the cables going downwards, so that Oxford would be seen at the top.
I'm not having a dig, it's just that i've never seen them fitted like that before.

I know you're not . It was bugging me too that they would be behind the brake lever, and the wired coming towards me was getting in the way on the test fit. And i get your point about the position of the logo, but still, if they say your can have them either way why make one way upside down, morons 

Have you had heated grips before?
I couldn't be without them now, whoever created them needs a pat on the back.

[limax2]

In your last photo the stuff in the packet is of course a replacement front sprocket nut and lock-washer, hopefully the 12mm nut  .
That sat-nav position is looking very good and should be easy to glance at without taking your eyes of the road too much.

Well I have the clutch side grip positioned with the wires coming out underneath, and the throttle side with the wires coming out from the top 

The reason for this is if the rhs grip is positioned so the wires come out from below, if you're braking (heavily) whilst the throttle is open, there potential for the rubber bit where the wires exit to interfere with the brake lever. In theory that should not happen that often, but I frequently blip the throttle on downshifts so it's better to be on the safe side. I don't trail brake on the road either but that is another scenario where interference could occur.

Loving the satnav bracket Fizzy!

Braking heavily with the throttle open?


If you're looking from the right side of the bike i think i've positioned the cable at about the 7 o'clock mark, so it won't interfere at all.
Each to their own though.
