[Lawrence]

Bought a new tyre due to a non-repairable puncture in the old one that still had loads of tread left 

[Dead Eye]

Finally got my bike back after a new set of tyres and reconditioned front discs... I am now bankrupt...

[Jazz999]

Uncovered her to give her some fresh air and a sniff at the daffodils
Think tomorrow we'll have a date

[FazerRuss]

Checked the tyres as it was my first real "outing" since buying it.

1.5bar on both front and rear.

Now duly inflated correctly.

[fatboy]

[ChristoT]

Went for a little spin, trying to get knee down. Failed miserably, so headed to the bike shop for a chin-wag. Saw a couple of friends (non foccers, sadly), and had a go on an Aprilia! Also saw a Thundercat there. Lazy day but a fun day...

Oh, and scared drivers in the Hatfield tunnel again.

Fitted rubber gaiters on the forks.

Details

 
Not to everybodys taste, but I like the look. Kind of reminds me of the BSA Rocket Gold Star look, except the Fazer does everything better  .  More important they serve a useful purpose in keeping all the road crap off the working surfaces of the forks.

good idea what's that between your header pipes?

[AdieR]

Mine hasn't done much of late (bloody cold here, cars covered in frost on way out of work).
MoT and insurance will be renewed shortly, a new back tyre is due (not worn out totally, but badly squared off), will get a set of crash bungs after being damaged in the works car park (twice...), and currently deciding whether to put fairing lowers on it.

I put my bloody bar muffs back on! My hands almost froze yesterday morning

That's an aluminium shield, (with a bit of graphics on it), which stops water and road grit thrown up by the front wheel spraying the front of the engine.
It extends under the pipes and also protects the pipe junction area from being shot blasted by grit.
Even with a fender extender on it's surprising how high spray from the front wheel gets up the engine.
Now it's just the graphics that takes a battering  .
On the old site I posted drawings of the shield and brackets needed to fit it, but I don't think anyone else bothered.

[FazerRuss]

Today I replaced 90% of the standard "cheese" bolts with stainless  , adjusted the EXUP valve cables (as it seems they were waaaay out)  , replaced the hideously expensive adjustable pegs with 'normal' black anodised ones so not I can operate things much better  , and confused myself with why the chain seems to slap about despite being set to the handbook specified slackness.

[limax2]

Having fitted the rubber gaiters yesterday and a good weather forecast for today I thought I had better take the bike out for a test ride  . The difficult decision was should I do the Shap-Penrith-Alson-Teesdale loop or should I thrill the good peaple of Cumbria with my visit. The view of the snow capped mountains of the Lake District on the way up decided it. It was one of those days when it seems a waste to stop for lunch rather than just to carry on riding. Warm, dry and very little traffic. The Kirkstone Pass had a road closed sign at the Windermere end but I figured I would give it a go anyway. Result, even less traffic and no sign of any road closed, it doesn't get much better  .  I stood in the road to take this photo with the Langdale Pikes in the distance.

Happy days.

Finally got around to drilling and fitting my R6 shock along with a Pyramid Plastics hugger. Luke's dog bones look lush and are a great fit

another good idea! the gators look very well. gators plus blacked out forks would be a nice combo

[Will.I.Is]

rode to work like my hair was no fire, rode home from work like my hair was on fire 

[Liroka]

Replaced fork seals/oil. Cleaned the front caliper pistons and replaced the pads (figured it was the best thing to do seeing as on one side both of the pads fell off the backing plates when I removed the caliper  ). Replaced the pistons and seals on the rear caliper and gave it a bloody good clean. Discovered there's no coolant in the reservoir and now hoping there's not a massive leak. Ordered a new rear tyre and rear brake disc. The wife thinks this is 'becoming' an expensive hobby.   


Looking at the posts above - where did you get the gaiters if you don't mind me asking?

[robby boy]

Took it to work and blew up the tyres, first time its been out since November, wish I'd cleaned it when I parked it up, lots of cleaning and greasing to be done over the weekend.

[Tilts]

fitted R6 shock, one grab rail, as the other was missing inserts:( and some nice levers, that my Dad bought me:)
