Starting a new thread here as previous one had no replies for past three months.

Looking at replacing the screen on my fazer 8 to try and help make the winter months a little bit more bearable especially on the motorway stretches.

I'm only a short arse (5' 9") and have done a bit of experimenting with my current (original) screen from just moving my hand over the top of the screen which makes quite a bit of difference to head buffeting to if I get onto the tank, not easy with my midriff it's blissfully quiet but I can't see out of my mirrors!!!!

Touring screen, double bubble, flip up, .......... which is the way to go and what's the difference, does the official touring screen have a lip at the top to push that last bit of wind over the head (is this the flip up like skidmarx offers - which by the way is virtually half the price of the original!!!)

Looking forward to some more feed back

cheers - David

Did anyone see that RNLI boat on the news this morning out in the storm looking for a lad swept away. Those guys have the Right stuff. Balls of Steel and hearts of Gold. Stay safe guys and gals?

My day off today so wake up at stupid o'clock (0347) and think that as the Mrs isn't up for another 3hours I'll make some good coffe, put some croissants in the oven and put yesterday's Moto GP on. All good, poor Rossi has a slip up but manages to stay on and POP, power cut. There seems to be power cuts or surges which make the main Fuse keep tripping out. The Virgin box doesn't like it either as I've just had to reset it. Hoping it doesn't screw up the hard drive?

Anyone seen that rather modded green fazer 600. Saw it a while ago online and now cant find the link-anyone got a link?

What exactly do i need to change rear caliper to a fazer thou one? Do i need hanging bracket and torque arm?

Could someone post me a link to the thread about headlight mod for early fzs 600 to modify from single headlight to both, Thanks.

What do you get up to other than your Fazer?

I have been building Quadcopters and taking cameras up for aerial video for 2 - 3 years on and off.  Would love to video a motobike riding along a cool cliff top road.
