Hi - quick question I have been offered an original Yamaha Thundercat rear hugger but I am not sure if it will fit my Fazer - can't compare them side by side as the hugger is not with me but looking at the mounting points they seem to line up and I thought the swingarms were the same (but not 100% on that)


Any one know if it would fit on ok ??

This baby will be with me soon.

Hi folks. Has anyone got a 600 boxeye headlight unit for sale or maybe the lenses as mine have got crazed and hazy lenses in.
I am thinking I can separate the glass from the unit and replace them.


Many Thanks
Barrie

I'm really fighting the itch for a newer bike....it is all consuming.


Old fzs is good but there's allot of money still needs spending to get it up to scratch....i really dunno if it is worth doing.


So i need to spend considerable dosh to get it up to scratch & future proof it a bit.


It is my fun bike...for fast A & B roads.....power is good but suspension is lacking.


I dont want to waste time doing on the cheap....i neither have the tools or the expertise....& i've kinda had enough of messing about...i prefer the riding to the fettling...just being honest...minor stuff is enjoyable.




So here's what i reckon i need to get it to where i need it:-


-Front suspensionK tech fork springs, heavier oil & any other bits that would be wise to change on them whilst being upgraded.....i can't find fzs600 specific on the k tech website but looks like £85 for the springs....so after factoring in oil, maybe seals plus fitting costs i reckon safe to assume £180.




-Rear suspension-ok no foccing about.....Nitron made for my weight...nice & easy.....but circa £400....so couple hours labour max guess & I'm looking at circa £450 fitted.




-Chain & Sprockets.....ok they arent terrible but i dont know when they were last done......so a DID gold plus sprockets....change in teeth for more accelaration....lets estimate £160 fitted.......(edit...these are just consumables so shouldn't really be factored in....same as tyres i now need.




-Brakes-i already have new pads & fluid but i also have a nice thou caliper sat in my shed.....so fitting & replace & bleed fluid.....very rough estimate £40.....the hoses are still original so braided lines will be needed...not sure of exact cost of them but lets say £100 for all braking needs.


-Tank.....ok my tank is useable but looks shit as it is dented in & touch up painted over.....£60 off ebay maybe.


-Headlight......i really need rid of the scabby MX headlight....i dunno....something else for £100.


-Carb balance....£40?






So basically i'm looking at £1000 to get the bike up to a good standard........plus another £450 in consumables.....so yep i'm sure it will be an absolute beast & be tip top in the handling stakes....a bit of a A road blaster etc.......but it will still be an old bike subject to the usual bad earths, tps issues, stutters etc etc....but equally may never suffer from these niggles.


Here is my dilemma.




Coz a £1500 spend is allot of wonga.....i could buy a decent fazer for that money...one with consumables already done.....but it still wont handle as good as my modded bike so still not worthwhile doing..but christ i could sell my bike as is easy for £800.....then buy a nice £1500 fazer with new tyres, sprockets, chain etc...& use the £800 to mod it & end up with a stunning bike.


Plus at the mo I'm third party fire & theft.....ill get none of that dosh back if it is nicked or crashed so i really gotta go fully comp & declare loads of mods so higher premiums.




Or do i just plod along....spend £450 on consumables & continue on until next year & buy a newer bike, one that handles well straight outta the box....ok so i'll be looking at 4k for something decent....but it will be nice & new, not crashed, insurable as is.ok so i'd be spending 3k more than just modding my bike.....but if i managed to get 1k for my bike as a good project (needs a new tank & fairing, only done 14k miles)...or stripped for parts if applicable then only 2k difference.


So only really talking 2k effective spend to get a 4k bike....so an FZ8, Fz1, Street triple......seems to make most sense....would like a newer bike....would be different story if my bike was mint & had no damage.


But interested to hear others thoughts on it.

Further to reading about the FOC discount, I ordered braided front brake lines from HEL performance.

I ordered on Wednesday gone 5pm (after they close!), and today have received the lines. That's pretty darn fast! 48 quid for 2 after the discount. (race type).

Very pleased with the service.

OK, this is not getting used and it's a shame, so someone else may be interested.


I've not run it for quite some time now, but it's been stored covered up my shed, so is fine.  I'll charge everything and fire it up to check it's all good, but it will no doubt need re-tuning when you want to use it!








All the stuff is good condition and working order. The shell has a few minor scuffs and war wounds, but nothing major.


From memory it has the Optidrive fitted, and also has an auto-cut out when out of range fitted.


Comes with everything you need to run it, including (but not limited to...as there may be other bits I find!):


- All batteries (for controller and truck)
- All chargers (for ez start, truck onboard batteries, aa sized controller batteries)
- Original controller
- Traxxas E-Z start starter
- Spare wheels and tyres
- Spare suspension springs
- Shock oil
- Original air filter
- Air filter cleaner
- Spare glowplugs
- Various tools for maintenance
- Fuel dispenser bottle
- Fuel (whatever I have left your'e welcome to!)
- Spare bonnet clips
- Original (a bit scratched) bumpers
- Original manual, etc in a folder


All the parts are in a little toolbox that you can have as well.


THIS IS THE 2.5R VERSION, not the regular 2.5.


I can take more pictures on request.


£200 - bit of a cheap bargain from what i can see looking at eBay, but I would like to sell it before i change my mind again!
