Hello all, just bought a year 2000 Fazer and hear this is the place to be!

I like getting my hands dirty so look forward to working on the bike, hopefully with your experience when needed.

So far the bike feels really nice, a bit more London traffic friendly than the 1150 GS it replaces. Not quite as nippy as my 99 750 SRAD but plenty good enough to get me to work in a comfortable hurry. Glad I didnt go for an SV in the end.

Cheers

Hi all. I need another tyre for the fazer so had a look around at the prices and deals online
And worked out  that I could get another wheel and tyre for about £130-180
The reason I wanted another wheel is I plan to repaint my wheels a different color but can't take time off work to
Take em to the paint shop etc. so that's the plan kill two birds and all. So anyway I managed to find on eBay
An R1 wheel n tyre complete with disc n sprocket so my question is will it fit. Advert below...

Rear wheel and really good tyre ,Disc and sprocket . straight wheel really good paint. The tyre is like new id say 90% tread left {diablo corsa 190 50 17} Disc is straight and sprocket is still left on, usable condition.The wheels off a 2000 5jj model but sure it will fit most of the models , please check first though.

Hi all. I've put a few postS up already for some bits and bobs but thought I'd introduce myself and new new bike..

Been a Kawasaki man for a few years but wanted to try something a bit more upright, not getting any younger  :o and the FZ8 seemed to fit my requirements..

So here it is and a few pics of this weekends efforts so far..


After finally getting my new bike on Friday and riding it home in the pissing rain I was keen to give it a bit of a clean up and get my new bits fitted, well most of them as it turned out..

This is the starting point..



and after the wet ride home she was in a bit of a state but the aim of the day was to get rid of all this stuff



and fit my new bits and get the bike set up for me, lever positions, throttle and clutch etc..

Started by striping the rack and old numberplate hanger off.. looking better already.



Then came the mirrors. got to love the left hand thread on the offside... 



Then it was off with the old exhaust.  yes I did and yes it was loud..  :evil :



Now time to start fitting things back on..



and finally left with this.  much improved IMO..




Unfortunately the exhaust hanger I bought only fits with the standard can so the foot peg stays for now. The hanger will go back and I'll get the one from the same place I bought the exhaust..

After this last picture I removed the white part of the rear seat unit as you can see it's got holes in it to fit round the rack so there is a new unit on order along with a 8x6 plate (dont want to go too silly), bar end mirrors, some plastic bungs to go into the old mirror holes and also a set of adapters for my Abba stand..

For the record the exhaust and link pipe are from SP Engineering and the tail tidy is the Evotech item.

Hopefully the final new bits will be here mid week so by next weekend it should all be done ready to enjoy..

hope you like..
