i run 120/70 front and 190/55 rear but mine is set for handling

extended swingarms and fat tyres are only for looks
destroys handling on any bike especially sports
go for it on a vmax show bike and chops but wouldnt even consider it for a fazer i think it would look so wrong

A Fazer wouldn't warrant all the necessary blood, sweat and tears!?
(plus even more tears afterwards, when it rides like chit, plus you go back to check the bank balance, to see how much you threw away on the project).

What kind of Bit is it? I picked up a 100 piece screwdriver bit set yesterday which has loads of security bits. Such as Stars and the ones with little pins in the centre. Was only a fiver (Bunnings diy)

its either a t10 or t12 with the pin hole
got some ordered from ebay as i obviously cant take bike out to go fetch some
didnt know bunnings were in uk thought they were only in australia
im just thankfull the drinking session is in my village this weekend or i would be screwed
Re: FZS600 Tail conversion / Swaps (Sports bike grafted)? - F4celess - 13-09-17
Yeah, Bunnings are taking over Homebase. Two Homebase stores in my town have been shutdown, gutted, and now Bunnings. They even have a barbeque running every weekend out the front (keeping in line with their Australian store habits).
Alot of new and interesting stuff stocked. Note I have absolutely zero affiliation with any of these DIY stores mentioned however.

£stretcher! OUCH! What a waste! Turning that warehouse space into a skate park, or go-kart racing outfit, would be much more useful + lucrative.
Have been quite impressed with Bunnings. Always come out satisfied I found what I wanted. Although walking around wearing a straw hat with corks on the end of strings, gets a bit distracting after a while! (joke) :rollin

After fitting the flush Powerbronze Undertray, Aluminium Tail tidy, LED indicators etc, I'm much more impressed with my refreshed, "sportier" Fazer rear end. Accentuated by the 40mm JackUp kit. Looking sharp! OK, so it's not going to look like a Ducati or R1 (from the rear) :lol, but this will keep me content, for a while.
