My aim is to get the bike ready for a spot of summer touring and I've already got a
bagster tank bag/map pocket so if anyone's got a nice baglux cover please get in touch.

So you come to a junction, slow right down and forget  dropping down the gears then accelerate in too high a gear (or low whichever it is :o )  do you get a horrendous noise presumably from the chain

Hi, Just got this Fazer on Tuesday. Does anybody recognize it? Was jacked up at rear with red links and had wood on the bottom of the stand. No centre stand.Looks great for its age, possibly restored to some degree.Think it came from n/east and was p/x in Blackpool.
Would love some info to go with it.

Greetings people, looking at what looks to be a very good 99 Fazer tomorrow morning and it could be the one for me; my first Fazer and my first 'big bike'  [img alt=Very Happy]http://cdn.bikechatforums.com/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]  I've been riding for some time but never owned a 'big bike' before.

Torch, gloves and multi-tool to hand and ready to go.
Anything to look out for or be wary of as I peruse her?

me going to buy a new helmet as my caberg is windy, money about  350 or less, any ideas anyone the caberg seemed great in the shop but not good, so what have you got?

So instead of infesting a dozen other topics about my woes I figured it would be a good idea to start a thread.

I'm currently embarking on replacing the Head Bearings and so far it hasn't been tooo bad... until now...

Dismantled the front end the other night and removed the old bearings which were beginning to get notchy. The lower race also has some pitting in it which I think is where most of my problems have come from... I hope...

In any case, I managed to get the upper race out using a hammer of all things... its a lump hammer thing and it was slightly smaller than the internal diameter of the race so I managed to anchor the edge of the hammer head underneath the race and leverage it out without having to use a drift at all which is awesome as its no doubt saved me a headache... however, the lower race is an absolute b!tch as was expected. I can't seem to find (or buy) a screwdriver to use as a drift that has the right profile. All the long screwdrivers seem to have heads that are too wide and the shaft is too bloody strong to bend to make it fit better plus the races' larger size means my hammer trick doesn't work :'(

TL;DR

So basically, advice is requested ^^

I've pretty much run out of light this evening but I have the whole of tomorrow scheduled to try and get this sorted. I think my butane torch might be coming out to play but it would be nice to have a half decent drift
