yeah, its essentially the same sort of product, just with nano-tech bonding rather than a silicone spray that site on top. I believe this product is supposed to last 3-4 months on each application Smile

Did the mirror mod, not road tested as yet, but look less antenna like and not filled with a view of my elbows. Hope the reports of less turbulence are also true.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - MarkWales - 12-07-14

Big improvement when I did mine.

K and N filter and torque arm to go



Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - JC - 13-07-14

Polished up my manifolds, they're been slightly neglected by the previous owner.
Fitted a scorpion decat.
Added the seat cowl.
And went out for 150 mile ride

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - MarkWales - 13-07-14

JC - What did you use to achieve that polish?



Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - JC - 13-07-14

I use autosol on my exhausts and metalwork. Still takes some time but it's the best that I've used so far Smile

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dead Eye - 13-07-14

I swear I can never achieve that sort of shine on my metal work - not by hand at least... I've tried several times on various pieces (exhaust manifold, end can, other bits...) and spent hours on them without amazing results. They always look better than when I started, but never to a state that particularly impresses me...

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - red98 - 13-07-14

Fitted twin horns to the mighty thou.......managed to get them fitted in place of the old one.i have twin brake lines direct fron the master cylinder so was able to remove the splitter and bracket.....its tight but do'able...ill try and get some piccies later.......oh, forgot to mention......there foccin loud    :eek

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - TonyW - 13-07-14

Just got back from the Devon air ambulance trust rideout, from Tiverton to Teignmouth via 76 miles  of nice roads. Overall I did a little over 100 miles. I would guess between 800-1100 bikes attended the ride.

The overflow parking area just after I arrived

More overflow parking in a different area.

Guess what?

I ended up playing tag with this Z750

Had a chat after we parked up. He was a little surprised when I told him mine was a 600 not a 1000 fazer. Grins all round, this day.


Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - woodwizzard - 13-07-14

Wondered where all the bikes were going when I rode through Bolham this morning.





Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - TonyW - 14-07-14

Final count was 915 bikes  Big Grin

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Rexr - 14-07-14

Ordered a sheep skin seat cover to stop my arse going numb on long runs, tried my m8's sheep skin cover on my bike and wow wot a difference, I was a bit on the sceptical about them but thought I give it a go.....nothing lost and nothing gained.....going to name it "Boris"..... :lol 

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - esetest - 14-07-14

Not today but yesterday , went for a ride down thru Cheddar and back up thru Shipham , when I got back I gave it a good clean to remove all the crud from France and Belgium . .

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - woodwizzard - 15-07-14

Had another fiddle with the front forks, trying to get rid of chattering over bumps. Just back from a spin across exmoor and all good, no more chattering. Took the camera, but was enjoying the ride too much to stop.
