Hulloo
I bought this '04 Fazer at the weekend. the chap had only had it a month - said he bought it from a workmate who'd used it for touring holidays round Europe and he didn't seem to know anything about it at all. There was only the two keys, V5 and MOT certificates, too.
It has some extras - goodridge braided hoses, a hugger, a tall tinted 'race' screen and he said the seat was a custom job. It is different from the one on the '04 bike I test rode last year, but there is no manufacturer marking on it at all.
It also looks like the damper/shock absorber is an aftermarket job. Again, can't see any make info on it. I took some photos and I'd be grateful if anyone can identify them - especially the damper. the ride is certainly very comfortable - bumps are made very soft and it's a comfy ride, but the steering is a bit on the slow side (forks might be modded, but no idea, tbh).
Very well protected by the nice looking hugger:
This is the 'custom' seat:
These extras do make it more of a mystery to me, that I only had to shell out £1750 for the bike (£1795 asking price). I know he wanted a quick sale, but I must admit, it does make me worry a little that there's something not right.
