I just bought a new Fazer8 and would like to have twin dip mod done.  I used to own a FZ6 Fazer S2 and bought a little wiring harness from a guy in the states from the FZ6 forum. it utilised empty slots in a conector block under the air box housing and the back of the bulb conector. No wires needed to be cut or soldered. This was a simple but very effective piece of kit and with the instructions provided was an easy DIY job, even for me!  My knowledge of bike electrics and wiring is zero so I was wondering if any of you guys with a bit more technical know-how could tell me if this harnass can be adapted to fit the Fazer8? I'm afraid to mess around with the wiring or cut anything in case I do some damage or set my new bike on fire!  The guy's user name is BD43 also known as biker dude. here are the links on the FZ6 forum with detailed instructions and photos of the process.

Guys/girls
Can you post how many miles is on your bike now and how many it had when you bought it..
Plus how long you own it or the date you bought it..

My FZ1
I Bought it brandnew with 0 miles in august  2008
And it now has just over 5000miles (I have to take a look later to get the exact mileage)

I know I only done a very low mileage on my FZ1,,But Am going blame it on living on an island that is only about 7 miles long... :'(

ok ....borrowed  from another forum....i`ll start


booked my thou in for mot,sat at 10.30 

Does anyone know where I can get replacement ones - dont see any online and dont have a dealer near by where I live.

I have an old mirror, inherited from yet another failed relationship. Been quietly hanging on my wall quietly minding its own business for over 20 years. My interest was aroused when the bitch's mother had the audacity to contact me recently and ask for it back???????
Naturally I took great satisfaction in telling her I threw it in a skip when her bitch daughter was busy screwing an ex-mate of mine!!!


Anyhoo, I'm not bitter............................much.


This site has excelled in the past with its seemingly endless font of all knowledge...............


I think it is a genuine Regency ornate oval mirror with two candle holders.


If we have any "experts" on board I can send pics and would appreciate a rough guide to value??????????




Maybe able to claw back some of the £££££££££££££££££££££££££££s the bitch cost me. :evil

I had a fairly spirited ride into work this morning, and the biggest thing I noticed was brake fade.


After the first heavy application of front brakes, they where noticably squisdhy and mushy feeling. Over the next 2-3 miles this would slowly dissapear and then re-appear again.


I am thinking its more like brake glaze than brake fade as I dont think its temperature dependand.


What are other peoples experiences with the brakes?

Hello.
My name is Eddie (Ed) I just bought a new black Fazer8 and I'm very impressed with it. I got a great deal, probably as the dealer needs to make room for the 2013 models. I've always liked Fazers, my 1st big bike was a '98 FZS600 then a new FZ6 fazer S2 in 2008... this bike got written off back in August and I've been without a bike till now. I had been considering a litre bike and had a test ride on the Kawasaki 1000sx (I loved it) but the price was high and they wanted a huge deposit for me to get the 0% finance deal. I thought the Fazer1 would be too much of a hooligan for my riding style and maybe not the best choice for my daily comute through London. I also thought that too much power would be wasted on me as I'm not really a racer. So I decided on the Fazer8 and believe it's a fantastic compromise. I found it to be a great improvement over the FZ6, especially the extra torque, and it's just as easy to ride as the smaller bike. I had a centre stand and a set of R&G aero frame protectors fitted to mine but it's otherwise stock. Next will be a tail tidy and when the budget allows maybe a slip on end can.

saw this :





Had this description :


[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]Stainless headers for a yamaha fzs600 fazer. In pretty good nick. A weld broke on them underneath, had a welder fix it for me. Nothing major. £85[/color]

Got a volt drop on the bike, mainly from the sub-loom that connects to the clocks, headlight, horn etc.

Whats the best place to start looking, and for that matter how many earth points does the FZS1000 have and where are they located...?
