I am looking to course to buy a FZ1 that possibly used to belong to someone of this forum (which is very cool, as my FZS was bought from and then sold to a forum member). The bike originally had a Akro full system and a PowerCommander5, but these got removed before being sold to the current owner. I would like to talk to the previous owner and find out what other bits were fitted and what work was done on the bike when they had it.
Had my bike Ivanised (slip-on) by Mike a few years ago. I know it goes well but decided to put it on the dyno just out of curiosity.
130.5bhp, 75.04 torque, lovely power curve and fueling is spot-on. The guy running the dyno was very impressed and said dont do anything to it, its perfect! Well pleased - Ivans development expertise and Mike's brilliant work continue to deliver.....
1999 Fazer 600, Totally standard apart from hugger, New tyres,New front brake pads, Oil and filter change,all in the last 500 miles, Chain and sprocket in excellent condition, Scottoiler, 26k excellent runner, Rides great, MOT until December (Covid extension) but will put full MOT on if asking price met.Excellent first big bike or reliable commuter.
Some age related marks however in very good condition for its age. No test rides unless asking price as deposit. Will take as pillion though. £1550
Hi All. I'm ditching my fairing and most of the fairing bracket too. I've noticed my handlebars have a blanked off threaded hole on each side which looks like it was probably intended for mounting mirrors.
Anyone know of any other bike which has mirrors that would fit? The thread appears to be M9, but searches for M9 handlebar mirrors are drawing a blank.
Any help appreciated, thanks
The original purpose for the work was to protect the ali during winter commute duties….. But that was 8 years ago…. !!!!! I’m semi-retired now… the furthest I commute now is from the bedroom to the kitchen for breakfast….. ? So, although the bike isn’t a ‘show’ bike by any stretch of the imagination, it has a different purpose in life now…..

The seat cover was already on the bike, but I attached an old tank bag to it… al la endure style… originally just to hold a few things on the commute….. Deefer did most of the extra curriculum ‘red’ paintwork before the ‘rebuild’…. I did the mirrors and fairing inners….
