I have a full monty fazer and a standard one. The question is - can i shorten the carb spring, so its the same length as the full monty spring to make the throttle snappier on the standard bike?    Or can the mod only be done if it has the kit fitted? :'(

A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck.

"Where's Henry?" the others asked.

"Henry had a stroke o' some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," the successful hunter replied.

"You left Henry layin' out there and carried the deer back?" they inquired.

"A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured no one's gonna steal Henry!"

Hi all, first post so go easy plz.


Some idiot knocked my fazer over when parked on the street. The handlebars have bent slightly - right side is up about an inch on the left....makes for interesting cornering!


I was looking to replace with renthals anyway so it was a good excuse.


I want to get a good idea about the riding position before buying. I've read all the posts about 789s (streetfighter) and 758s (ultra lows) and I'm tempted by the 758s.... but i want to know how much lower i'll be then the original bars. I use the bike daily for 20 mile trip to work and often have a pillion. Also do a lot of riding on A3 up and down to family in the south and don't want the pillion exposed by me being way over the tank....


I've also seen the 754s (low) - are these more similar to the original bars?


Right now I'm thinking that I'm going to get the Ultra Lows (758) and trim 15 mil off each end and go for plug bar ends but if the Lows (754s) make for a better pillion ride I'll go with those. Not too interested in looking mean - just comfy!


So, does anyone know the original spec (height, rise, width, sweep) of the OEM bars?


I'm going to straighten the old bars once their off the bike so any tips on how to do this would also be great. Want to keep them in case I ever sell (which I don't see happening as this is the best all round bike ever made).


Thanks,

my 1000

Yeah I know, I've been trying to quit for years!  But this time I've made it to day 6. 

So far so good using the cold turkey method.  I've been grumpy, bad tempered, restless and wanted to rip the heads off small children BUT I'm feeling better for it and looking forward to a smoke-free future.

Hopefully I'll notice the difference when I get back into training for my first enduro event this year.  Got a Kawasaki MX125 up and running, goes like the wind, falls over easily and is light enough to pick up again  :o

  Ayup fella's ive had a week ill not forget ! so here goes tueday 14th i was heading north on the m1 to do a job i leave the m1 at junc29 taking the slip rd and going right on the island keeping in the right hand lane taking the 5th exit down the 617 to mansfield as i indicate to leave the island a car rams straight into the passenger side at speed pushing me into the high kerb and than off rd i take 4 lamp post signs out before the van comes to a stop.

Anyway turns out the stupid WOMAN driver was in the wrong lane and she wanted to get back on the motorway fookin brill !!

here's whats left of a immaculate and i mean it twas really immaculate astra van




Front leg is badly damaged A-arm is bent, Drive shaft snapped and lots of bent bits wheel had to be removed as it folded and the inner wing has some big creases and pushed back.



Now lets see what the other side is like!


The 1st contact point.


Rear axle is bent.



Square wheels 1&2 and split!!



Wheel 3 badly split.


It all happened very fast and the only thing that i can remember thinking before the van came to a stop, is this is going to hurt as i took the huge signs out    the police are prosecuting the woman and she and her insurance have accepted full liability the recovery brought the van home because i had tools i needed to get out however some have been damaged and my satnav and phone kit is fooked as well..
