i was reading on here that some one did a template of the 1000 foot rest so that you could lower the pegs and keep the standard set up , does any one  still have it or know were the post is please ???
thank you

Was a single seat conversion ever made for the FZS Fazers? More likely as an aftermarket part (including rear fairing)?

I also brought a tft dash , and can confirm it's a brilliant piece of kit, took 15 minutes to install plug and play. It's very clear  with plenty of options . I was having trouble reading the old clocks with the multi gauge so it's a great upgrade. Well built and simple to use , you don't need a degree in i.t to use it?. Highly recommended.

Drone users in the UK must now pass an online theory test and register as an operator for £9 a year, or face a £1,000 fine.

I was building my own multi-rotor flying craft 15+ years ago, when all the materials I'd pickup from a DIY store (wood / square aluminium rod). When you'd spend WEEKS fabricating the Frame then soldering all the wiring plus electronics, plus tweaking your R/C Transmitter settings, to get your creation to hover in a spot - all that effort finally for that moment. A real sense of achievement. 8)
When building/flying such craft was only accessible to the true hobbyist.

Now in 2019 (actually the last Several years) - you can walk in to many high street stores, spend £150+ upwards and walk out 5 minutes later with a ready to fly multi-rotor craft that effectively hovers/flies on its own. A few minutes later, battery charged and you are at your local park happily zipping this thing around the skies - happy days??? Well NO. No understanding of the risks, etiquette, regulations, or how to fly safely - (more importantly, when or where NOT to fly).

This responsibility should have been placed on these "Drone" manufacturers pumping out these mass produced units. The craft should have had some system to disable it flying straight out of the box (like a firmware setting), until the User had successfully read through/acknowledged some safety brief (perhaps that had to be completed online on the manufacturer website), so the new owner was EDUCATED, before taking it out for its maiden flight.

Media channels (pumping out all the bad press) have also created this "5hit storm" we see today. This hysteria surrounding "Drones", plus the public hatred of these craft. Will even go as far as saying the high profile cases in the News with apparent "Drone sightings" at airports (Gatwick / Heathrow), that downed commercial flights for days, were orchestrated stunts by authorities, with this ultimate aim to clamp down (LOCK down) use of these craft on UK soil. Hence the introduction of the above new laws.

I also now find more often than not while out flying my own craft (in my usual RURAL field location) I am on the receiving end of negative attention from members of the public. The last time I was out, a woman approached me and was threatening to call the Police if I did not land it immediately! :rolleyes You can't make this chit up.

Anyone else own or fly these fabulous craft, with thoughts on this topic?
Would also be interested to hear from anyone who has had bad experiences associated with these craft.

What happened all day

O.K. I've never been Leon Haslams' biggest fan,really liked his old man who I've met a few times from when I was racing and since.I've always thought most of the rides he's had with top draw machinery was due to the fact that Ron would have had a fair bit of influence with teams and factories and to be fair most dads' would do the same,but enough is enough for years now he's had some of the very best rides going and apart from taking the BSB title in what I think was the weakest season,no Shakey,Jake Dixon etc he's done nothing ,then gets a works Kawasaki to ride alongside the greatest WSB rider of them all stating that"johny rea has never beaten me" and we get the usual bunch of excuses while Johnie took the title again ON THE SAME BIKE.Now with all the great young talent about he gets a works Honda for next season!! unbelievable.When he finishes this excuse ridden season maybe Ducati will give him a chance or Honda will draft him in alongside Marquez  the blokes' got more jam than Hartleys. :wall

I have a set of these, 100% waterproof, bought in May 2019 used em once to go to the TT. £45 posted to the UK.

Cmon!

Just incase anyone has one lying around. FZS600 fuel tank wanted, Black in colour would be perfect.
Has to be clean condition, with no rust or dings.

If not Black, might be happy with a different colour, if condition is mint !

Just a headsup if anyone's at a loose end on Sunday Dec 1st. The annual toy run to Queen Elizabeth Queen Mother childrens ward in Margate, meets as from 12 noon to leave at 13:30, at Tankerton Road car park CT5 2AS. Donations or toys are gratefully collected at the car park. Expect I'll go from the Oakdene via the Airport cafe on A20 for breakfast.
