Ayup chaps, ive about finished my little project till the new year ! its minta than mint, did i tell ya all i have a OCD  :o  and taking into account its condition and what id have to pay to get something in this spec, its alot of bike for not alot of money.

new Seat an all the carbon now fitted.



I brought some oberone heavy stainless bar ends and had em powder coated black no more vibs,i removed the stock fairing decals but it looked to plain so the decals you see, the fazer is from the fz8 and the red 1000-exup decals from ebay.



I cant make my mind up if i like the NRC engine covers! and the colour is a very slight shade different than the rocker so they may go back on ebay! or ill get the spare rocker i have colour matched, oh yeah i have some billet covers also coming from the states, i also had the front engine/frame brace powder coated black and all the little brackets that cant be seen in the pics.



Timing cover needs re-powdercoating as i did not clean the bolt holes enough  :\  and so when i put the bolts in i got a hairline crack in the powder so only fitted for pics, and i removed the genuine yam crash bungs and replaced with the moto ones and whilst i had everything in bits i polished all the stainless bolts.



Carbon rad covers now fitted.



Im going to replace the chain to a nice coloured one.



Yep its even got heated grips! Daytona ones these feel like sportsbike grips nice soft feel to em and yeah i do plan to use it for my trips into europe.



LSL rear sets and HM quickshifter.



So id like to wish all you foccer's a merry xmas ...

Want to get a hugger (black) for my 2001 Blue Gen1 have had a look at the following but none of them really float my boat in terms of looks but it's hard to imagine them on the bike from the limited photo's I've seen;

• SkidMarx
  
• Pyramid
  
• Puig
  
• Powerbronze
  

TfL say that from 23 Jan 2012 motorcycles can use more of London's bus lanes: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/redroutes/10151.aspx.

The way they've written it - "motorcycles will be given permanent access to bus lanes on the majority of the Capital's red routes" - makes it sounds like we're allowed in most bus lanes, but if you look at the maps you'll see that this isn't the case.

Therefore you should be careful to check the sign at the start of the bus lane for the bike.


The maps also show that some bus lanes switch between being bike-allowed and disallowed at different points, so if you're riding along that road you will need to be vigilant to the signs so you don't get caught riding in a non-bike stretch of the bus lane.

A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL.

Have a great one!

When i connect to my wifi at home with my iphone it says in the wifi networks "colins wifi" it has since we set it up. for the last two days it has changed to HT-APO it all seems to work fine but i am wondering if it has been hacked or tampered with in some way. There are 4 young polish lads living next door who never leave the house except for a bit of shopping,they stay in all day on laptops and desktops doing god knows what. I know this cos my neighbour on the other side has been round to complain several times and they are all just sitting there on their pooters. (he has a young kid and they play noisy music) am i being paranoid? should i go round and terminate them? or should i just ring virgin and ask them to look into it? if i find out they have hacked into my pooter/wifi it will make the papers cos i will club them like seals. not kidding!

My girlfriend and I have just given a nice new home to 4 ex battery hens. We were going to buy some point of lay poults but after seeing an advert about the battery hens we thought it only right to give them a new home. They have lost a lot of their feathers but they will come back in after a few weeks. And of course, lovely fresh eggs will be a bonus.
What good deeds have you recently done or have planned for the new year ?

Hi guys, anybody fitted a delkivic radiator to their fazer? If so, is it a good fit?

Its just i bought an aftermarket radiator but the pipes were welded in the wrong position, so had to send it back!

I bought a gen 1 the other week. I noticed that there was a little white sludge on the filler cap and top of clutch housing. The bike had only done 5 miles in the last year and was hardly used the year before, so i think he had been going into the garage and firing it up every so often to keep the battery charged. This obviously can cause condensation in the engine. I have driven it only 30 odd miles and it's still there. I changed the oil the other day. Any suggestions on how to clean it out?

hi i found some simi end cans in carbon finish are they any good and do they last, ive heard the carbon fibre finish ones look tatty after a few months of use in typical british weather, do they sound nice?
cheers chris
