| Fabricators needed! |

Hello all. Hope everyone has had a good Xmas and New Year.
So I have a 1999 FZS600 and want to convert the tail to an R6 tail. As I have limited skills I'm probably going to be best off giving it to someone who can do the fabrication for me.
So, I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a reputable fab shop who could do the work for me?
I'm based in County Durham but wouldn't mind dropping the bike off somewhere else.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

| Running low and high beam together. --Foxy-- |

Hello,
Is it possible to run low and high beam together when on High beam mode ?
When I ride on the side roads/country roads all I do is keep switching the lights from low to high all the time, because the roads are shit, with potholes and uneven roads all over the place.
Would pulling the wire from High beam light to low beam light work ?
I got LED lights, so they don't need so much power I would assume.
Thanks.

| Side panniers |

Dunno if anyone can advise me on this?
I've been looking at side panniers for my bike, but already have the Givi top box plate fitted with the long side arms.
My question is, if I was to buy side panniers would there be a clash with the current bracketry?
I don't want to order them to then find out I have to remove my top box to make them fit. Especially as the ones I want will probably come from Germany.
Anyone have any tips or advice please?

| Experiences with Ivan Kit |

Hello,
I'm a new user here, my name is Julius and I'm from Munich, Germany. Been reading a lot here and really appreciate this place.
I just got my first gen1 FZS 1000 and since it's a bit cold to right at the moment, I'm thinking about what tinkering I'll be doing.
The first thing is the Ivan MB Kit (along with the other usual mods) and a post on Facebook caught my attention.
Basically, he recommended simply rejetting instead of the Ivan Kit and also claimed:
"Drilling slide lift holes and clipping spring gives fast throttle response but usually at the expense of driveability."
So, I was wondering if there was anybody who has made this experience, and maybe felt that relaxed cruising was not possible anymore or even went back from the Ivan Kit?
For those interested, these is his entire post:
Quote:The FZS1000 carburation can be adjusted to run well in a bike with standard airbox/filter and standard exhaust or slipon (I’m using Akrapovic) without resorting to jet kits. This bike is set to run lean low down and rich up top - found after I had a fuelling check done by a respected dyno operator.
To fix the lean issue I fitted one size larger pilot jets (#17.5) set Pilot screws to 3.1/4 turns out. It’s not ideal but the stock #15 pilot jets can be used with Pilot screws set to 4.3/4 turns out.
Set float height to the standard 13mm which make fuel level the standard 3 to 4mm
Standard needles in standard position 3rd groove from top with the std 3mm nylon needle spacers are fine. Fuelling air/fuel ratio is flat so needle tapers are about right.
I’ve heard that some bikes have 2.5mm spacers? so these may need raising 0.5mm.
Fit 2 size smaller main jets to fix rich top end Main Jets - 127.5 on the outsides cyls 1 and 4, 125 on inside cyls 2 and 3.
That’s it.

I recently got an ELS 4 degree timing advancer. It's awesome, I should have ordered one the day I bought the bike. But I'm wondering if I should run higher octane fuel. Where I live we have 87, 89 and 93. The factory recommends 87 but I always run 89. Should I be using 93 with the timing advanced or will it be fine? I've ran a couple of tanks already and it seems fine, I don't hear any knocking but I do wear earplugs.
