this is 44cm tall so might do a better job, has anyone tried one or knows of a screen that works?

Hi All,


Just joined so wanted to say hi to everyone.


I have a 600 Fazer (2000 Model). More due to circumstance to be honest. I use the bike to commute daily so wanted something cheaper to run day to day.


To be honest, it's a big change for me and taking a bit of getting use to. Have always had bigger bikes, 1200 Bandits, GSXR 1000, Hayabusa, TL1000S and even had a big 1700 Harley  :eek :o 

HOWEVER, now I have a son and needs must, haha. Just got rid of my TL1000 and jumped on the Fazer which was a shock. Reduced my fuel cost by 50% though which is what I done it for.


It's comfy though 

Hi All,


I'm new here and new to a fazer. I'm use to bigger bikes, however, downsized for better fuel consumption.


My downpipes are shot, had them welded for now but need a new set.


Can's seem to find any decent big bore downpipes like Akrapovic, Yoshimura etc. I've found Delkevic and the likes, however they don't seem to be performance pipes, just stainless replacements. I know it's not a superbike but just looking for something to let it breath a bit better.

Is it just me or is the option just rubbish? What would you recommend?


Thanks.

Hello to you all, I’ve just joined how you all doing.
Soon be Christmas! Cheers

I'm currently riding a FZS600 "00 pretty decent mileage for the age around 24k it's restricted however due to my license but I can sit my DAS in a months time, my thoughts are to either keep the bike once it's derestricted and clean it up a bit (new pipes/can/forks etc, the works) but would be an investment I wouldn't get back if I did eventually sell. I've been looking at Triumphs a lot recently the style of the bikes really speak to me, and I've been looking mostly at a Bonneville T120 or a Daytona 675R can anyone suggest other bikes to look at or give me good reasons to invest in my Fazer? I've been riding just under 2 years started out on a chinese learner bike Lexmoto ZSB 125 it was a cruiser style of bike but after riding the Fazer for a while now I'm leaning more towards Sportier styles.

I have been quietly lurking on the forum for quite a few years ahead of buying a Gen2 as a planned addition to the stable.(Yes I want a sporty bike that can take some luggage occasionally!) I am writing this note to determine what parts I need to acquire in order to have in stock the bits I need when I buy my bike.


Sadly I recently lost my best mate and riding buddy to cancer and I was shocked that he has left me his 2003 R1 which he owned from new and on which he spent ridiculous sums of cash. It comes with full Ohlins forks and rear shock which I intend to move over to the FZ1S Gen2 next spring. It also has a lovely Akrapovic system with Power Commander but I think that may be too difficult/impossible to move across.


I just need to understand what else I will need, the forks are 50mm it seems, the rear shock has a 300mm mounting gap from the top to bottom points which can be adjusted obviously slightly. These are being kept more for sentimental reasons but will make a huge difference I am sure. Given the R1 will fetch about the same as a Gen2 I can afford to spend a few drinking vouchers on the changeovers. I have the original forks and shock to put back on the bike.


Any advice welcome. Hope to meet up with any Essex or Southern based members next year.


If anyone wants to swap their low mileage Gen2 for a mint R1 drop me a line by all means.

Should have chopped their hands off, that might deter them!
