Quote:WOO HOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've got my bike back, Just waiting for the police to get the scrotes who stole it. Thank you to everyone for their help. Me and the whole family are very grateful.

Just put some heated grips on my Fazer (fortunately I only had to glue the throttle side), now I'm thinking I fancy some new handlebars as I'm not really that much of a fan of the OEM ones. Was reading this thread http://fazerowners.yuku.com/topic/31967#.TrNaThB6yUd . I really like the look of the 789's though I'd prefer bars that are non-braced, obviously without the foam pad.

Basically I like the look of low / ultra-low bars that are wide like the 789's. I'm about 6"2' and suffer from wrist-ache when riding the bike so was hoping some extra width would help with this? And also look better! Was thinking of putting risers on them so I don't end up leaning even further over the bike and getting more wrist-ache.

Based on all this, can anyone recommend some handlebars for the FZS 600? I'd prefer not to have to mess about putting extended brake lines and other cables on if I can get away with it as I'm sort of building up my experience level with that sort of stuff! I know I'll have to file the plastic on the switch boxes etc.

Ey up,


I have a Blue gen 1 thou.


I like the look of wheel stripes, rim tape whatever you want to call it.


Couple of months ago I bought some white reflective tape in an applicator. I tried for a good while but couldn't use the damn thing then basically saw my @rse and screwed it up and chucked it in the bin!


Any hints tips experiences to help me have another go at doing this?


I've seen the curved ones but am I just gonna get mad again?!?!


It was that bad I'd bloody pay for someone to do it!!

I used to like browsing that section hoping that one day i'd have a nugget of advice that even Gnasher didn't know himself!

I know we have a section for each bike but people have helpful advice for many models, I own a FZ1 & FZS600 and need to look at all of the sections to see if there's any thread that I can be useful on.

Granted the last thread where I actually truly and genuinely helped someone was back in 2009 but goddammit I helped and I WANT MORE!!

Who's with me...."We want Hints 'n' tips, we want hints 'n' tips!!"  :lol

Just bought a 98 Fazer 600 and it will shortly need tyres. What should I go for?  Last time I had one of these bikes I remember fitting Bridgestone. Are they still the tyre of choice?

Apologies for the plethora of posts, but I just remembered another question.
Our computer has become really slow.  Any ideas on what I can do to get it working quickly again?
thanks

I've got the latest Internet Explorer and Firefox, but they have been terribly slow the last few weeks.  Can anyone recommend a fast one?  I remember I had one on my old computer, which was a beta, or test one, and it was very quick, but I can't remember what it was?
Any ideas?

Enjoy the miles. Rafer

My new girlfriend has a body off Baywatch,  and a face off Birdwatch.

Is it possible to password protect folders on Windows 7?    My kid regularly scans all my stuff if I leave my account open, and some of it is not really suitable.  Downloads from Streetfighter with naked babes draped over bikes isn't exactly what I want her to see?

Any advice gratefully received.
