I'm thinking about getting some new textile kit for winter. Read in Ride magazine that Halvarssons Spartacus jacket and Zen trousers came out top in a recent test. Saw the kit at the NEC last week and was impressed.
Before splashing out £550 on this 'budget' set does anyone have any long term experience with Halvarssons kit?
I plan to take my Fazer 600 off the road for 2 or 3 months, as of tomorrow. Not because I mind riding in the winter (I have a CBF125 for that), but because I have a list of things I want to do. I bought the bike 5 or so months ago, in OK condition. She needs a bit of TLC though, and winter is a perfect time for me.
I have made a list of what needs doing, and my budget is only £200 (+/- 10%). I will do all of the work myself, with a bit of help from a mate (when needed) who is a mechanic.
I am not including the cost of any additional tools I may need, although I doubt there will be any. Also, I already have some of the stuff required, and will not include the cost of that either. I have not included an air filter in my service either, as I fitted a K & N within a few days of getting the bike.

It might seem ambitious on just a £200 budget, but I recon it is possible.
I will keep you all posted on progress and tell you where I got the stuff from as I go. If any of you have experience of any of these jobs and have some advice, great. It all helps.
Joined the site a few days ago. Just realised I should put up a post here. I live in Glasgow and benefit from the amazing roads around the West Coast of Scotland. If you heve never had your bike up this way, you definetly should. If the weather was better, it would easily be as good as riding mainland Europe.
Anyways, I have had a Fazer 600 for about 6 months now. 2000 model is OK condition. I have planned to take her off the road from Demcember 1st and have a list of jobs to do on her.
I will post the list and my budget, and keep you all posted on my progress.
Hello again. Same old me, just found this site. Here's my bike:

Since then I have managed to destroy the gearbox which is now like fishing in a bucket of spanners. Got a replacement box and am just about to start the rebuild. Gonna need a bit of luck I should think and a fair bit of help from you guys

Hi,
Has anyone swapped a FZS600 Mk1 fairing for the Mk2 version? Is it fairly straight forward or are they massively different in the way they mount to the bike??
Just wondered...... :rollin
