Hello looking to buy a fz1n or fz1 would like a one with a black engine and got a budget of 3k may stretch it for the right one though

Sorry, no pics yet, but short update.

Picked up  a Cat D 1999 600 for not alot. Was stolen, and recovered from nearby ditch when thieves couldn't start it.
Pulled off fairing, lamps, clocks, headlamp frame, left front peg. All bent. Have a slightl;y better fairing, so will stay standard front end

Forks and frame are good and straight.

Seems HID's were installed at some point, so will try and keep those, but the wiring is shocking. Chocblocks everywhere.

Replaced top yoke and fuel cap as they mangled the locks and cut wires.

Gearshift/peg now replaced and straight.

Waiting for headlamp frame to be delivered, just could not get current one straight in all directions.

replaced clocks, but annoyingly, these are at 115K, and last MOT shows under 40k.

Started it last night in garage without end can on, wow, thats loud.

I think one front disc is bent, can these be straightened?

All three calipers were badly painted in rattle can, with overspray.  I assume I will rebuild with new seals, so may try and get these blasted at work. Any tips here?


Everything has to be done on a budget, but will use proper yam seals etc as been there before with that one.

Hi is anyone using double bubble or taller screen that works well with nose fairing?

Can anyone recommend the best thing to strip paint from my rear caliper? I'm planning on repainting it so want as much off as possible without damaging it.
I'm planning to do a full rebuild with new bleed nipples, braided hoses etc can't stand the crap job the last owner has done

Probably a well worn topic but I want a Double Bubble screen.
Anyone know the best for quality & wind deflection, my being 6'2"?
I've looked up Powerbronze, Fabbri, MRA, Puig & Zero Gravity but can't seem to find out comparative heights.

Hi would anyone on here know if the exhausts off of a 2006 R1 would fit a 2005 fz6?  Or know of any other exhaust that would fit? 
Just looking at something a bit louder than standard.

Been out & about past few days have to say it's a wonderful feeling after mothballing mine since October,today I washed,waxed the bodywork & oiled my chain before an evening ride ?

I have to change my clutch soon , Quick question, What are the benefits of heavy duty clutch springs if any? Or should i just reuse the original springs?
