Bit of long shot, but I’m trying to find a complete set of rear pillion footrest assemblies, left and right.
My 2011 Fazer8 came with a pillion seat cover, but no pillion footrests, just an R&G exhaust hanger and small blanking plate for the left side.

Tried breakers and EBay searches, but no joy

Hi. Would a 600 exhaust header fit on a 400? If so what is the recommended exhaust to buy?

As the recent addition doesn't have a centre stand, I purchased a front wheel clamp to hold the bike on the table. I searched a plenty for something robust, decent quality, and at a reasonable price. I bought it from a company called SGS in Derby (10 miles away) and paid £48, which looked good value against some of the second hand rubbish on sale for that much. I've been impressed with it.

Today, after searching through the second hand stuff again, this time for paddock stands, I checked the SGS site and found a pair there at £55, front and rear. Assembled them tonight, and again, I think that for the price and quality, they are very reasonable indeed. I don''t know what postage costs would have been but as I'm only within spitting distance I was able to visit the trade counter.

Perhaps worth noting if anyone else is considering similar purchases

Recently went to a bike meet and there was about 200 bikes there and mine was the only fazer 600 there.

I have some resin and hardener that is mixed 1-1/2 I have had it for about 4 years left over from a DIY job.
Its the epoxy resin type and the info says a shelf life of 4 months --- yeah they just say that - right. But I can not get it to set and go off so it appears that it does indeed have a shelf life.
But could it just be the hardener or just be the epoxy resin that I need new.
I didn't realise about different resins and think I should of got the Polyester Resin one that cures very fast with MEKP
For reference I was going to repair a broken freezer drawer.

Hi! I have recently bought my first bike, a FZS600 - 1998 and have been fixing it up a little while waiting for my permit to practice driving.

Since I'm very heavy (148 kg / 326 lbs) I'm looking to replace the rear shock spring, I have looked at ordering an Eibach Coilover Spring but I'm unsure of the dimensions. They're asking for the inner diameter and length, which I believe is 2.25" (~57 mm) and 9.0" (~229 mm) - does anybody know if those are the correct dimensions? They also want the spring rate, for which I've entered 575 lbs/in (10.27 kg/mm, 100 N/mm). Does that seem reasonable or should I go up to 600? I would rather it be a bit on the stiffer side than softer. I used Race Techs spring rate calculator to get that number but as they did not have the FZS600 to pick I used an YZF600R - 98 with a custom bike weight of 452 lbs / 205 kg which should be the wet weight of the Fazer, hopefully that's fine.
EDIT: Is it possible to have the OEM rear shock absorber serviced and revalved?

The reason I'm only looking to replace the spring is I can't justify replacing the entire rear shock, I'm open to suggestions of other springs if you think there are ones better suited to my needs (please provide a link if possible, it would be greatly appreciated!).

I'm very new to all of this and will be learning more or less everything mechanical from scratch as I have zero experience or prior knowledge, hopefully I have asked you the right (dumb) questions. Thanks in advance for any help!
