Hi All,


Just saying hello....


I'm new to Biking at the young age of 38 and only past my test there in July.
I had a 400 bandit, which has recently past away!!  :lol 
and I've just purchased a Black Fazer 600.


Cheers

Just found the forum while searching for suspension alternatives for gen 1 1000. Live in North Fife, the bike has 26k and on 2cnd rear shock . Nice to find not only the answers but most of  the required hardware available here also. I had been considering buying an alternative shock and also wondering if the R1 front end would fit.  All questions answered, thanks.

Ive had the bike 10years and was thinking of a Street Triple which ticked all my boxes apart from protection ,anyway the extra needed to buy one will cover giving the fazer a hopefully more dynamic feel and an Ivans Kit to perk it up a little.

Before i fork out my hard earned cash , has anybody fitted these to a gen 1 thou ? any pictures OR comments (good or bad) would be much apprieciated any pictures of other fairings fitted would be good also. Cheers in advance

Looking into fitting an alarm over the winer; any suggestions as to which is best?

I am on the look out for a Repsol Fireblade just to keep in the garage and polish and to take out when the sun is shining. I only intend to a few hundred miles a year and was wondering if there is any type of tyre that would last the longest without going hard.
I don't really want to be changing a low mileage tyre just because it has gone hard.

Oi Oi. First year of biking and as the weather is getting pretty bad, I am in dire need of some good quality jacket and trousers.

However, I want to make sure I get something good, safe and, cos I'm a skinflint, cheap.

My criteria is:-

1) It must be warm

2) It must have good protection in case I fall off.

3) I don't care much about things like millions of pockets, I'd rather cheap, but good quality. Simples is the way forward.

4) Hi vis would be nice, but not essential.

5) I can't afford super, expensive, flashy gear. So be around the £100 mark per item (but the cheaper the better)



Some help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone knows of a decent/friendly/honest bike shop in North London I'd love it.

I think that's it.
Cheers.
