Any know much about powder coating?I have had bits done before like brackets, wheels etc but my engine cases are starting to peel and as I am about to powder coat my givi rack I wondered how well it would hold on engine cases.

this has probably been done to death but i have treid searching but cannot find the answer i am looking for
so here goes.
i was out on the bike today and some of the roads were fairly bumpy anyway the back end of the bike seemed to wallow and was not very inspiring. the spring is set on the highest preload but one. the front end feels fine.
I am not the fastest or best rider and weight about 12 stone
so i am considering a rear shock change  I am looking for a budget solution
i have seen mention of a 1000 fazer rear shock fitting a 600 but how hard is it and does it alter the ride height
also i have heard of an r6 shock on a 1000 fazer - so will an R6 shock fit a 600 fazer
or should i just accept that i cant ride for toffee
thanks in advance
thanks in advance

Hey people


just got back on the road after a few years lay off, and am really enjoying the FZS600 (W reg) I bought. Just its more fun (and safer) to have some ride out buddies, so if anyone is a regular weekend blaster let me know


Cheers

I've just bought this...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V..._500wt_950


Went to view it, it's pretty immaculate apart from a dint in the petrol tank and a chip on the grab rail.  The exhaust downpipes are original and mint, the tyres are new.  Very pleased 


Used the eBay HPI checker, very impressed with it for £9.  Got the full MOT history from the DVLA web site, useful tool.


And it's identical to the one I sold 3.5 years ago! (apart from the tuning fork badge on the tank instead of "YAMAHA").
