hi all does anyone have a pair of fairing iners for a fazer 600 foxeye.thanks

Fed up of taking my gloves off to program the sat nav. Don't want to buy new ones. Not keen on sewing metal thread through gloves either.

Any ideas or advance on the following idea?

I am selling my red Oxford magnetic tank bag because I just don't use it after buying it and I am getting moaned at for it taking up wardrobe space.

Thinking about getting a tank pad to protect my shiny paintwork.

Any recommendations ?

TIA, DBo.

On a couple of bikes I have owned I have had a Bagster tank cover and tank bag, but when selling the bikes I have also sold the cover and bag, always at a big loss.


I was looking earlier for one for my FZ1 and I noticed these universal tank fittings. This would be ideal so I could keep the luggage when changing bikes.


I just wondered if anyone on here has one/had one and if they are any good?


Cheers

Bagster / Baglux tank cover in dark blue, matches the Galaxy Deep Purplish Metallic paint code on my 53 plate.

Unmarked, with Fazer embroidered on the sides in silver.

Minea tank bag (expands to 21 litres), with clear map pocket on top, in blue with black piping.
Did have shoulder straps to make it into a rucksack but they stopped me attaching the bag to the cover when it was full. So I took them off.

Listed on eBay with no reserve at this item number: 181094435918.
Will take £100 for both, message me through eBay and mention foccers and I'll end listing.

Pictures are on the eBay listing or if you check my previous for sale post for an exhaust and Ventura luggage set on this site.

Hi again all. So I went over to a friends house as he offered to show me how to get to the EXUP valve and grease it. I'd have done it myself, but I didn't have copper grease and he did, plus it's easier with some help. Two heads and all that. We get the cover off fine, and I start with the second set of 3 bolts. They've been changed before, as the bolt heads are different sizes. One came out fine and the second was giving me a bit of trouble. While trying to ease it out I heard/felt the dreaded 'snap' of the bolt shearing. Damn. So I moved on to the third which was even more stuck, and the same thing happened.

The two bolts that sheared are the ones that hold the cable bracket in place. I've since put some spare bolt in the holes, and a plate to hold them in place, so at least the cable bracket won't move around too much, but I'd like to sort it out. The current state after having tried to drill out the bolts, is that both bolts are flush to the exhaust, one has an ez-out embedded in it (very hard metal, tough to drill) and the other has a tap and die bit in it (also very hard to drill.)

I've sort of made a mess of it I know, and while one sheared bolt is solid and shouldn't be too hard to drill out with a good bit, the other that has the tap/die bit in it is hollow part way through, with parts of the centre hole filled with said bit. This means that if a drill bit snags somewhere it will snap. So before I go and snap any more bits (already snapped 3) I wanted to look for advice.

I've seen a few methods for removing sheared bolts, such as welding a nut on, drilling with a left hand bit etc. but most of these won't work. I could try taking off the downpipes to make it easier to get to, but now I'm worried about more bolts shearing as the downpipe bolts go through a similar cheesing process to the EXUP bolts don't they?

Another thing I wanted to ask is are there any stronger bolts available that would better resist the heat from the exhaust? Maybe parmesan instead of cheddar?? This is just going to keep happening otherwise, and while it's good being able to practice drilling bolts it's not ideal. And I don't want to leave the EXUP to seize.

I have for sale a brand new pair of EBC “Pro-lite” front discs and a full set of four front EBC sintered “HH” pads for the Gen 1 (up to 2005) Fazer 1000.

They were purchased for a project which never happened, so are now surplus to requirements, and are brand new in the boxes they came in. In a recent Performance Bikes test, this combination gave significantly better braking performance compared to OE discs, so is an ideal upgrade, or to replace worn-out / warped discs.

They cost me £302 for the discs, and £37 for the pads, plus postage.

I’m selling them for £250 including postage (to UK mainland).

Please get in touch via mike.fletcher@arup.com or through the forum.

Cheers,

Mike

Well I spent all my spare time on the last couple of weekends doing those little jobs to the bike I wanted to and have just MOT'd and sold the bike.

It was riding bloody lovely, but I just couldn't adjust to the raised riding position.

I threw a lot of money at it really, BMW shock, braided lines and better tyres, but in the end, I am just not ready to sit upright on a bike.

It's gone to a nice chap who I did point in this direction, so you may hear from him aswell.

Thanks for all the advice that's been given while I've frequented the forum. You've been a good bunch.

If anyone wants some exup bolts as sent by ghostbiker recently, I will happily forward on to the first person to pm me.

Cheers all.
