Hi Everyone!
I'm doing my direct access course next week (in the bloody snow by the looks of it) and have bought a 2002 Fazer online.
Any advice on what to look for before handing over the hard earned £££? Any major warning signs to look out for? All seems pretty mint from the pictures, and I'm taking an experienced biker with me to collect (as I cant ride it yet - doh!)
Cheers all,
2WB

Got my down pipes off today with no issues thankfully, they were worse than I first thought but have been welded up and I have prepped them ready for painting tomorrow. The guy who welded them said I may want to start saving for some stainless ones as where they join at the V joints and all around there is pretty ropey and very thin to weld. Apparently he has a mate that actually makes them and showed me a set he had made for his Harley which looked amazing. His mate wasn't there to give me a quote but could be interesting to find out for the future. Anyway I am unsure of which gasket I need to replace the one between the back of the down pipes and the end can, mine looked like it actually had a bit of both of these. Definitely had the gauze but also the silver one, do I need to buy both or just one for replacement? Cheers

Any one fitted one of these after market full fairings from fleebay/Poland . I assume the fit will be ok but not perfect, not that fussed about that bit.
I mainly want one to keep the crub off the bike and me. Do they offer any weather protection.

Cheers

Question - if your answer to subject line is yes then have you found a way of wearing the external part of the implant with a helmet??

Hi everyone, purchased a 2005 with 7000 miles on it and got it for a steal
Unfortunately due to the snow and ice lately not managed to get out lately -much to my dismay !
But did manage to drive it home from Glasgow and loved it - but blizzards due tomorrow so will
just have to be patient - easier said than done!
Sorry if this is going over old ground but really want to get the headlight mod done so both headlights come on and not just one - Only thing that is worrying me some people have said that after doing it they get a lot of flashes from oncoming cars and they have resorted back to the single light.
Would like to know your own experiences if this is true !
Any feedback appreciated
Cheers Mark
