I've got a +4 degree advancer on my full monty gen 1 fazer. There isn't that much of a difference compared to the standard advancer, but i also have a stock fazer with only a fairly quite race can (venom) fitted and was wondering if an ignition advancer would improve it. I know the best thing to do is fit an ivans kit, but i've already got one of those!  8) and just wanted a fairly cheap way to get crisper throttle response and also remove the very slight surging you get with the stock bike. Cheers in advance - Get it! :rollin

Hello all, I want to fit some side panniers to my gen 1. Don't like the look of givi's e21's but do like the v35's. Two dealers have both said they don't list anything other than the e21 side rack. I know there is a weight issue but am sure I've seen gen 1's with other panniers. Has anyone fitted other panniers, if so what rack did they use ? and have you had any issues with them. If only givi did a v21 styled like the v 35's I'd go for them as I can see the width of the 35's could cause problems filtering. So come on let me tap in to this font of experience...

Already posted in For Sale/Wanted but thought I could be a bit more focused here.  I have for sale a complete Ventura luggage system to fit first generation Fazer 1000. The L bars are simple to fit by simple removing the rear grab handles and fitting the bars using the original bolts with spacer washers supplied. The rack simply locks onto the bars and the pack slips over the top. I can fit the system in little over 5 minutes so I don't leave it on the bike. The pack takes enough for many days away and is very stable on the bike. A second bag can be attached to the first if you're leaving home permanantly! The rack will fit many other bikes using the appropriate bike specific L bars.

Here is a list of the parts which together would cost £280. I got the L bars on eBay and the rest brand new as they ususally get snapped up pretty quickly with not much discount. I'm looking for £150. I'm in Coventry so if you are interested you can pick them up or I will be willing to meet within 30 miles or so.

Y075/B L brackets (RRP £83.54)
PF13/B Rack Pack (RRP £62)
GH13/19/B Grab Handle (RRP £20)
Aero-Spada VII 51 Ltr pack (RRP £112)

Cheers,

Ian

My first time off for a few days and I've had to move half a dozen posts into the right sections. This should not be necessary as there are now less forums and the individual bike forums are much more active.

Thanks to all those who provide answers in those bike forums :thumbup
