So, besides my modified Fazer, and FZR, and a YZF, I'm busy building another 'special'.
Which of you knowledgeable & experienced people can tell me what the differences are between the fox eye versions of the 1000 and the 600. I'm looking to buy a nose cone, headlights & mounting bracket for a separate (non- Fazer) bike project. I was leaning towards the FZS 600 fox eye set, but have been offered one from a 1000.
Question is mainly around the sizes..., not worried about mounting arrangements  - those will be modded to suit anyway.
Are the 1000 versions narrower than the 600 versions ?Any other arbitrary info would help...
Thanks !!

I have OEM brake and clutch levers fitted to my FZS600 and my FZS1000. For some years I have suffered with Dupuytren's disease, affecting fingers in both hands and have had two procedures to straighten them. My left little finger is bending in towards the palm to the extent that it is causing issues operating the clutch. The lever butts up against it. Whilst awaiting surgery I am considering fitting a short lever to alleviate this issue. My concern is how much harder will it be to pull the lever in with the shorter leverage ? 

Large parts of the smart motorway network in England were hit by a two-hour software failure on Wednesday.

The problem, which froze signs and signals and deactivated the stopped vehicle detection system (SVD), lasted from about 08:30 to 10:30 GMT.

National Highways said it was "urgently investigating" the problem.

Outage prompts investigation amid calls to axe smart motorways

Why on earth a Safety Critical system like this doesn't have some form of back up mode or, at least, a "fail safe" setup that would post caution warnings on all the signs if the computer systems failed, I don't know.

(Well, actually I do, it's because that would cost more than the expense of cleaning up if there were any accidents if the system failed...)

Hi - Can someone measure the foot lever on their Gen2 centre stand. I have one with the lever snapped off / missing and can weld something up but would like to get the right length first time.  It looks like 22mm tube with 2mm wall thickness so some 1/2" pipe will do the job - Thanks.

Is it just me,or has this been addressed in the past?
I don't see why there's no tab to mark a sales add as Sold.
Sale adds stay on for mths on end, even if marked as sold buy the seller.


Surely this is an easy fix for some computermabob wizard to add in a "Delete or Sold" tab, this would instantly free up space on the site. :rolleyes

I’ve had LED headlights on the bike for about 5 years. They have been great. Unfortunately one of the bulbs have blown in dipped mode. I have tried to find a bulb with similar plugs but have hit a wall. The bulb connects to a black box via a four pin plug. There is a locking strap around the outside of the plug to lock the two parts together. Has anybody seen this type of connection?  They are 4000LM.


Alternatively, had anybody fitted LED lights and were happy with the install and they’ve not had any issues?  I’ll probably end up buying a new pair so any information would be greatly received.

I used to use this forum back in 2003 (seriously) when I was running an 01 Fazer with the metallic gold and black paint which I rode into the ground. Since then had a 600 Hornet........yes I know.....it was nice and light,very easy to ride around town ,apart from that it was a revvy,thirsty rust bucket...,one of the ones made in Italy,so much for Honda build quality. Next I had a 900 Hornet which was made in Japan and was a quality bit of kit,also bland and lardy and I never really got on with it. More recently I've had a 600 Bandit ,nowhere near as much fun as a Fazer but I've had it for over 10 years and nearly 63,000 miles. done very well and never let me down despite being ridden all year round.........and now I fancy a Fazer again. There's a mint 1999 model quite near me, a cheap low miles FZ and the most likely candidate,a very tidy Diversion (later model) at a good price.
So,just browsing online checking stuff out..............but I'll be back.
