You finally fixed the other one?
What was the problem with it?
I gave up reading the thread after 36 pages or so

Even the forum is running smoother since you changed that regulator

found this at the back of the garage and had a play....headligh wiring was a mess so striped out and started again.all working now with twin halogen bulbs.should be an improvement on standard.not sure on the style though......clocks were mounted on the cross bar on the renthals in front of the ignition .a bit in your face so made a cardboard pattern to mount on the back.to be made in sheet steel and mounted on the under side of top yoke.......

Makes it interesting

Bit more fiddling today, cut the base plate from 2mm to keep things rigid and the sides from 1.5 mm.hammered round an axle stand mounted in a vice with a rubber mallet...see if I can spot weld it together tomorrow

Bit more fazer fettling today, spot welded the clock cover, let it cool to prevent any distortion, offered back up to clocks to check fit and all is still good, went to seam weld the joins and ran out of gas...

Turned my attention to the top yoke, going to mount the clocks to the underside of the top yoke using the taped hole that holds the cable tidy , theres a blank in the yoke on the other side which I will bore and tap..

Looking good

red98 · « **Reply #38 on:** 27 April 2014, 06:17:27 pm »

cheers mark......once fully welded i will grind the bottom plate and welds flush with the sides and soften the edges,before spot welding i assembled leaving 1.5mm gap between the base and sides for this reason.....i think it might look a bit bulky but had to be this size to accomadate the wiring and plug for the speedo etc....need to make a couple of straps to mount it,25mm strip steel with two holes at one end to mount to cover and one at other end to bolt to yoke.

red98 · « **Reply #39 on:** 28 April 2014, 08:20:47 pm »

what better way to spend your lunch break than a bit of fazer fettling....bored and tapped the extra hole i need to mount the clocks.and gave the top yoke a polish and clean and refitted.

Fair point perhaps title edits to Pauls fazer Project or Christo's fazer calamity.

.....ah yes, an update..bought some gas sunday morning and seam welded the cover....in short bursts at each end in turn to avoid distortion...re fitted and fits well...started to grind down the welds but can only do a little at a time as dont want to upset the neighbours.....will take to work tomorrow and finish at lunchtime, will post piccie aswell......too much time spent with the lofo's this weekend, got to be out riding when the weathers good

red98 · « **Reply #44 on:** 11 May 2014, 06:04:39 pm »

Bit more done today.....lots of grinding and shaping and made a couple of brackets to mount the clocks

red98 · « **Reply #45 on:** 11 May 2014, 06:12:53 pm »

Bolted back on the bike.ned to re-route the wiring as plug dos'nt quite reach

....it will with a bit of re-routing

......brackets will go on the inside of the cover I just need to make a clearence slot....not too sure if I like it or not, might try lifting the lights up a bit and change the angle of the clocks....looks right when sat on the bike ...

red98 · « **Reply #46 on:** 11 May 2014, 08:43:20 pm »

Mmmmmmmm....just looked at PAR6's bike, hes done a good job there and it looks right

.....think I'll lower the clocks and bring them closer to the ignition switch by using a tube spacer between the yoke and clock bracket and also rebore the bracket..........any comments foccers, good or bad, I'll read them all

red98 · « **Reply #47 on:** 11 May 2014, 08:52:33 pm »

Awwwww come on....tell me what you think.....I need ideas.......hey NOGGY streetfighter queen......you must have something to say

ChristoT · « **Reply #48 on:** 11 May 2014, 08:55:37 pm »

I think street fightered Fazers always look too small at the front - Stiggy's Z1 fairing should do nicely!
