Not today, or yesterday, but recently.

Thought the radiator looked a bit of a mess;

Today I rode with another Fazer rider, who mistook my friendliness for 'LETS RACE'

Attaching a helmet cam tomorrow. :-)

Picked it up after buying it the other day

Jazoli · « **Reply #109 on:** 05 May 2012, 08:21:37 pm »

I removed the top fairing and radiator ends and repaired the damage done by the previous owner, a bit of plastex, primer, paint and laquer and they are now looking like new again.

Plus I removed the radiator/rad cover and fan and repainted them too as they were looking a bit scruffy.

Its taken all day to do but well worth the effort, should have taken some before and after pics.

I have done absolutey nothing to my bike as at the moment I can't lift a screwdriver let alone hold onto the handlebars

Put mine together yesterday. Had a stupid streetfighter headlamp when I got it, but I've fibreglassed up the broken faring and put it all back to standard. Looks battered but still 100x better than it was.
Before:

Now:

Just got the remove the silly red bits. The genius who painted those bits managed to paint the fuel filler shut and get paint in the lock too.

Lawrence · « **Reply #113 on:** 06 May 2012, 07:55:52 pm »

Pictures didn't work, here they are.

Hodge · « **Reply #114 on:** 06 May 2012, 09:54:34 pm »

Sorry but I didn't ride it but I did get it out, wash it, clean the chain and lube it. Tomorrow I might polish it.

Lawrence are you interested in selling that "stupid streetfighter" headlamp?

Yes, got all the bits except two bolts that I re-used in fitting the faring. I've also got the bar end mirrors if you're interested

PM me if you're interested.

Washed it after a filthy ride last week and ready for another ride on Friday when it WILL be sunny

theboydougie · « **Reply #119 on:** 10 May 2012, 12:25:26 am »

Stripped of the back end, checked re-greased all the bearings, bloody good clean; put it all back together then fitted new chain and sprockets

Hodge · « **Reply #120 on:** 10 May 2012, 12:05:05 pm »

Did the usual commute in the usual miserable weather.

dolau · « **Reply #121 on:** 12 May 2012, 08:13:09 pm »

JZS 600 · « **Reply #123 on:** 13 May 2012, 09:54:56 am »

Skinbeatersam · « **Reply #124 on:** 14 May 2012, 12:18:54 pm »

Today I am picking it up from the bike hospital. . . . . .

Hopefully I won't have to take the bloody thing in for a while.
