Having just started ownership of a 2001 FZS600 a couple of days ago I knew it needed new hosesI presuiSamco would do a set but alas notLooking through the forum there was an issue with any being available at all
SFS performance can apparently put a full set together to order for RRP of £140 but will give 25% discount to forum members
Today 26th Feb 19 - I spoke to Lee who said the more orders the better and could maybe get a full set together for £100The usual colours are availableBlueRedBlackWhiteGreen
If you are interested say so and maybe we can put a group order together for a nice discount

Hi chaps,
I have just fitted a new Lifan 125cc engine in my little Honda C90-G Cub, the engine is a direct replacement and all the engine mounting bolts line up.

There is one adjustment that is needed and that is the foot rest assembly that bolts on the bottom of the engine needs to be widened by 1.75 inches to accommodate the slightly wider engine at that point. (Cut, insert and weld new 45mm piece of 18mm round bar)
The front sprocket all seems to be inline, so that should be OK.

On the legal side what should the process be as far as informing DVLA and my insurance company?
The Honda is due a MOT in a week or so, should the MOT be done before informing DVLA or the other way around?

Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
tommy

Hi All, I contacted a company regarding Kappa/Givi pannier & top box frames/racking for my Gen1 Fazer 2002.
The company emailed back saying they no longer make/sell frames for a 2002 model only 2003 onwards.
I had thought all Gen1 chassis were the same? Or am i missing something?
Cheers Ade

My 03 fazer comes with stainless downpipes but the collector is steel so rusts away! So i decided to repair it with stainless!
Cut out corroded parts and replaced as shown.

Hi


Since getting the Fazer I've now got two bikes to think about with regard to recovery should an accident or breakdown occur.  I can fix most things but for maybe £8 a month it's maybe worth the cost.  When I've been looking they websites always revert to car quotes which I obviously don't need.


Who do you use?


Who gives value for money?


Who to avoid?


Prices paid?


cheers

Before I go looking online I thought I would ask here first -

• Adjustable brake and clutch lever set - pickup a set of ebay.
  
• left hand rear grab rail or pair in 2005 blue, the actual colour is called 'Deep Blue purplish metallic cocktail', but R1 blue or the 2001 FZS1000 blue are close enough.
  
• Gear lever, the one I got off a breakers while functional isnt upto snuff
  
• pillion footpeg brackets - both of  mine are starting to showing significant salt corrosion.
  
• font fairing loom, my bike was originally a US import and the very last conversion task is for the side lights.
  
• r/h mirror - found 2x r/h mirrors in the spare room  :rolleyes
  

Has anyone on here, got a motorbike dolly?
Platform with 4 castor's on it. So you can put bike on it's centre stand, and move your bike into tight spots in garage, or just spin it around. I'm thinking of getting one that's all. And would like a recommendation on one, if possible?
Cheers for any comments

Looking to purchase a tail pack for long days in the saddle , big enough to carry puncture repair kit , small compressor and visor wipe , dont want nothing too bulky and one that easily straps to the saddle and simple to remove when parked up ...


been looking at the AUTOKICKER midi pack , quality and price look good , anyone got one or similar ?

Are they worth it?
Do they make a difference?


I'm thinking they possibly do but am worried it'll spoil the look of the bike. They only seem to come in black, not sure it'll go with my silver steed.


If they are worth it any recommendations?
Do the adhesive ones stay stuck or is drilling the best way?


Whilst I'm here what about belly pans? Loads more expensive so an expensive addition if they're of little use.

so bought a 2009 plate fz6, great bike , very impressed by it, but in my ignorance was handed one key, black ! i had read somewhere about this red key but the seller said he wasnt given anything other than this key when he bought it , seemed non plussed about it ([private sale), after buying it i now am sweating as i now understand the full significance of it!!
im hoping someone can offer some ray of hope of any way to get a spare key or 3  cut ( that works :b ) without this red key ?


anybody ..... :'(
