Well today I decided to put some renthal ultra low's and some bar end mirrors on my 05 fz6 and what a bloody nightmare this has been, firstly the mirrors didn't fit so two trips to b&q resulted in getting heavy duty anchors but also the wiring seems to be a bit tight.
Has anybody else had an issue with the wiring when putting on renthal bars

I want to buy one for commuting to work with a few days worth of clothes and a laptop but the T50 look far too big for an FZ6 and the T30 seems a bit on the small side for the amount of kit I want to carry.

Does anyone have either of them and have an opinion on pros/cons?

I am guessing the 50 and 30 litres are maximum sizes, can they be made smaller if required?

How easy do they attach?

Anyone had bad experiences with them?

Are they a danger when at or slightly ? Above the speed limit?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Dave

Standard ones 
Cheers.

Just bought a 2001 fazer, have a few qs.

It has a bellypan, rear hugger, full delkevic stainless system, braided front hoses and rack and top box fitted. Its also had the rear caliper changed for one from a fazer 1000. Any other common mods to these?

The previous owner thought it would be a good idea to accesorise a gold bike with blue parts (why, I dont know), so Ill be wanting to change them back to standard(ish). Things like the petrol cap bolts, screen, top yoke nut, sprocket nuts. Best place to source replacements?

The rear left (as youre sitting on the bike) panel has a crack in it. Nothing too bad, but its going to annoy me until I can fix it. Anywhere good to buy replacement panels from, or am I best just keeping an eye on Ebay?

Ive read that the headlights as standard arent much cop, any reccomended mods/parts to improve them.

Last but not least-I noticed the digital odometer/clock display wasnt backlit. Is it supposed to be, and if so, how much of a pain is it to sort?

Im sure therell be more to come once I get it, Ill post some pics when I do

Just a quick intro, been riding a cb500s for the past 5 years, finally decided it was time to get rid of it, so this morning went and put a deposit on a 2001, 25000 mile fazer 600 in gold. Will be collecting it soon as my Honda has gone, hopefully before next weekend. Give me a wave if yo see me around Sheffield

think I've been collared by a scamera van today, looked on google maps at where he was and he's on a single yellow line but I'll have to go down and see if there's a quantifying plate on the roadside or can the Police park where they like?
I didn't think they could operate outside of the law to catch you but we're talking about traffic here, not catching threats to the State!

have tried attaching an image of the area but if anyone knows the area around the new tunnel on Scotland Rd Liverpool, he was parked at the bottom of Juvenal St where it meets Scotty Rd. There's a fixed camera further back up the road where there's a built up area but the road opens up where the tunnel egress road comes onto Scotty. Can only think this is a pure revenue scam as no pedestrians cross the road here (railings across bottom of Juvenal St and no crossing across Scotty

about 50 in a 30 so expecting a NIP if he's got me

Been a long time lurker on the site. I've been toying with a Gen 1, Fazer thou ever since the banter days of me owning a hornet. I never quite found the right one at the right time though.


Anyway, I've not had a bike for 6 months or so, and have withdrawal symptoms. Unfortunately with a son in Uni, my budget is a bit limited.


I have found a '54 reg Gen 1, grey with black engine model, that I can get for £2000 delivered from a dealer. (i can't seem to upload an image, i'll try a link)

The bike has done 60k miles but looks in above average condition for that amount. There is no documented service history, but a bit encouragingly, the previous owner paid for a major service at a main dealer that included valve clearances etc. 12 month MOT, akrapovic exhaust, hpi clear. I've been assured the bike runs really well.


I've never bought a bike without seeing it, but I'm just not going to be able to get to see it.


I know that if looked after the bikes will eat that sort of mileage, I guess I'm after a bit of reassurance, lol


Does it seem reasonable?? thanks in advance.

Just wondering if I should use this in tonight's meal.
coq au vin ? what do you reckon
