I’ve researched replacement bars as I’m used to a wider slightly straighter bar on my Guzzi Griso and I Had Ultra Lows on my old ZRX1200R so that’s the direction I’m going in.  I won’t be near my bike for a couple of weeks but want to order the bars.  As they are a little straighter can anyone who’s done this swap tell me if there’s any possibility with a fairing clash or is there plenty of space.


Ta much.

I want to create a watertight case made from clear acrylic (about 2 foot long by 2" wide by 4" high), but I'm after some advice on how to seal it.

Yes, I can buy acrylic glue,but it's ludicrously expensive (about £20 for a small container) and that would cost twice as much as the materials

Given the size of it, using some form of caulk or sealant wouldn't really be feasible because it would be very difficult to get it into the interior.


So can anyone recommend an alternative that would work?

Weather permitting I’ll be doing my annual day trip to Cornwall. From South London this is approx 470 miles. At present I’ve no info on what, if any cafes are open, but will know after July 4th. Any one who fancies this whizz to the West Country, I can meet you at 7am at the Ripley A3 BP Services(postcode GU23 6PT), or at approx 7.50am at Popham A303 BP Services (postcode SO 21 3SP). This is mainly A and B roads with minimal motorway.

Am looking for an FZ1-S (faired) w/ABS, these seem to be a bit thin on the ground and only stealers with the ridiculous prices seem to have any. I would like if it at all possible to find a bike thats mostly black so -

• engine
  
• frame
  
• wheels
  

Has anyone got a couple of radiator end covers kicking about that they don't need anymore? Same with a radiator grille which protects the rad from stones etc.

Thanks.

Was doing a search for a fellow foccer when I came across this little gem. We have a chancer trying to sell an old style FZ1 rotor as coming off a 2009 model, when afaik this style of rotor was only ever fitted to the 2006/2007 models. Imho this should only be bought as an emergency spare if at all.

Now and again I have a look at what's for sale on e-bay.
I've still got my thou lying in my garage looking sorry for itself.  It needs some TLC.
But then I keep wondering, if the best route to keeping a thou on the road, is not to spend time and money on my exisitng bike, but to pick up a clean low mileage used example.
I mean look at this.  It looks genuine, it's even still got the crap Metz OE tyres on it.

Too far away for me.  But that could be a very nice bike for somebody. 

This topic has been moved to Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner.

A few spare parts for sale after twelve years of Fazer ownership.

• Aftermarket adjustable full length brake & clutch levers in silver, fitted the levers to the bike but never even used them on the road £15 inc post.
  
• Standard master cylinder. £15 inc post.
  
• Sensor at back of engine block. Errr... will have to find out name of it! Bought but never used £8 inc post.
  
• 4x mini indicators with 8x fairing spacers / cover plates. Fitted just one but actually preferred the standard indicators with clear lenses. Have the Audi-type directional flashing. I believe they require a different indicator relay fitted, so that they flash at the right speed. £20 inc post.
  
• K-Tech linear fork springs 8.5nm. Originally for a Bandit 1200 / XJR1300, but a spring is a spring.  Longer than the standard Fazer fork springs so I cut shorter spacers accordingly to restore correct internal dimensions. Suit a lighter rider between 9 - 12 stone. £40 inc post.
  
• Ignition coil for Cylinders 1 & 4, useful spare. £15 inc post.
  
• Hagon Shock. Standard length and spring for a 'standard' 75-100kg weight rider.  Less than a year old, bolts straight on £165 inc post.
  
• S1000RR rear shock. This shock WILL need disassembled & rebuilt by a suspension company as the damping has gone. Comes with a heavier R6 spring fitted and dogbones which restore the back end to around the standard height. Has an R6 lower mounting bolt and a spacer to go in the lower suspension bush. Preload collar a bit chewed up. Top mount will need drilled out or some sort of top-hat spacer arrangement. £40 inc post. 
  
• *SOLD* EBC FA252 HH front brake pads.
  
• *SOLD* Full set of stainless steel pistons to suit front blue-spot calipers.
  
• *SOLD* Yam R1 5jj gear shift. Much quicker / smoother gear changes.
  
• *SOLD* Head bearing adjuster.
  
• *SOLD* R1/R6 radial master cylinder with full length & short brake lever
  
• *SOLD* Beamtech LED headlight bulbs.
  
• *SOLD* Full Exup valve
  

So following on my very old Clutch squeelling thread, does anyone know if the clutch basket on the FZ1 has been updated to provide better oil flow to the friction plates..?
