  wow thats slippery
Posted by: phil on a fazer - 19-01-12, 02:32 PM - Forum: General - Replies (14)

Was driving to work this morn through a 30mph zone as i do nearly every day, crossed a small roundabout....the car in a instance turned side ways, then caught grip, then fish tailed, then was o.k  :eek

Looked in my mirror to see a Yaris on the roundabout also slipping round like Bambi on ice. It felt like i was on a huge sheet of ice, the only time I've had a car move like that before is in snow.

Theres no way it was ice so must have been a diesel spill. Got to work and went straight to the high Ways dept and reported it.

If i had of been on my bike theres no way i would of stayed rubber side up. Just goes to show that riding a bike is a bit of a lottery.

:pc Hi, my name is Etienne. Brought a fazer 400 for the missus but she hasn't bonded with it and I was going to sell it till I borrowed it. It's a great bike(in excellant condition-2000kms!) and complements my garage, Bob Farnham tuned TDR125 owned from new and 1986 FJ1200 1TX(low miles brought from Doc who runs owners club, presently for sale at right price to fund new toy!). By the way, are they restricted in any way? Thanks

  R1 front end my way
Posted by: devilsyam - 19-01-12, 12:58 PM - Forum: Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner - Replies (9)

Since i did this way back when i thought i'd revisit it now that many R1's models have since been and gone

As usal i want it to look as factory as possable

1st stage was the fitment and sorting of spacers and disc's to fit the later r1 5 spoke wheels

[Image: 393639_10150400838128800_682288799_87882...2748_n.jpg]

So shopping list was then put in place and ebay put to good use

A set gen 2 yokes were sourced

[Image: 17062011028.jpg]

Now the fazer stem was swapped out but was 1mm to small into bottom yoke so the stem was turned down to - 3mm and
a top hat made +4mm and welded in place this did away with the need to pin

gen 2 yokes also retained the factory look i was after rather than a after market r1 top yoke or a rewoked r1 top yoke

Now it is well know i personally dont like the lines of the gen 1 when not correcting the fork length i just dont like the
stance

so a set extenders were made and capped off with my frame plugs

[Image: 404452_10150505933838800_682288799_92044...1122_n.jpg]

[Image: 396648_10150505936463800_682288799_92044...4948_n.jpg]

[Image: 409477_10150507655528800_682288799_92088...8023_n.jpg]

these will give me back the lost length on the 08 legs and still if i require allow me to drop the front up to 10mm
this also overcomes the sidestand issue

std dics on the 08 are 298 and i can use the r6 ones already fitted but i have some 320mm from the 04-06
i am going to use along with the six pot calipers

[Image: 397312_10150507676058800_682288799_92088...9932_n.jpg]


i'll keep the thread updated as i progress with this

i got one of these to stop crap getting thrown up onto the bike from the front wheel but it attaches using screws and i dont really want to drill holes in the front mudgard. so does anyone have an alternative way to mount them?

  Best ear plugs
Posted by: bigfootpete - 19-01-12, 11:05 AM - Forum: General - Replies (13)

First post on the new forum - surprised at the slowness of this site!  :eek


Anyway back to the topic - I have a pair of customised ear plugs that I have had for about five years but I guess
as my ears grow they have become un-effective, so I resorted to some wax earplugs I got in France - good but a bit
fiddly and messy.


So I looked in Boots and found some silicone ones for about £3 - not fantastic value for money (you only get three pairs),
but they are reusable and washable.


They are without a doubt the best I have found for blocking out excess noise - even better than the £50 custom plugs!


So if you care about your hearing then give them a go...
