It is indeed, Brembo front brakes, the FZ logo, seat strap and no grab rail and the most obvious clues.
Re: What have you done to your FZS600 bike today - daviee - 26-01-17
is it true that the headlight has both high and low beam on each side and is a strait swap into the 600 ?

It indeed it does and are as rare as hens teeth in the secondhand market.

Thats a shame, and I'm guessing if you went through Yamaha Genuine Parts directly it would cost a fortune.

Big day today. I just picked up my frame (and a few other bits) from Maldon Powder Coating where they've done a top job.
So today is the landmark point at which the bike stops being taken apart and starts being put back together. :woot
Eleven weeks to get it finished so I can ride it to the Brands Hatch BSB round at Easter.

after buying her yesterday i spent this morning removing damaged fairing and modifying the bent fairing bracket to only hold speedo
then added dominator headlights
got to pick up some windicators tommorow and wait for my koso style speedo and some aluminium plate before i perminantly mount a speedo on the trees
-have to adjust the clutch so its in a better posistion as previous owner had it activating right against the bars (really annoying)

Lazy day for me, still sat in my bed drinking coffee and eating toast (good old Mrs tommy) dusting of snow outside, bloody cold too, so here I am watching Disorderly's videos :thumbup :thumbup
Welcome to the Foccers forum
I have a GlPro Gear Indicator to fit but too cold on the fingers for fiddling about. So as said previously lazy day.

[size=1em]Frustrating morning today, but went to see my old mate (Wildplum) this afternoon and we set up the Rider Sag on my baby after the suspension upgrade I did over winter.[/size]
[size=1em]Rear Rider Sag = 37 mm fully togged ready to ride.[/size]
[size=1em]Front Rider Sag = 41 mm fully togged ready to ride.[/size]
[size=1em]Both fall within the recommended measurements [/size]
[size=1em]Recommended [/size](Ohlins & Nitron):
[size=1em]Rear Rider Sag for a Road Bike between 30-40 mm. (25-30 mm Race bike) [/size]
[size=1em]Front Rider Sag for a Road Bike between 35-50 mm. (25-35 mm Race Bike)[/size]
[size=1em]Who knows my baby may have to go up for sale soon as my arthritis in my wrists is not getting any easier :'( [/size][size=1em]The hospital consultant had told me that the only option to stop the pain is bone fusion in my wrists, but, that would stop me riding, as throttle action would be gone for a shite :uhuh [/size]

Tommy ,
read a post from Madhatter and he put up a vid of him and his son at the TT , giving it beans , then divulged he had a paralysed right arm and has a thumb throttle on the left hand side, It would take some getting used to but clearly not impossible and you get to keep that bike with the primer paint job ready for painting blue one day
Re: What have you done to your FZS600 bike today - tommyardin - 14-02-17
[size=3.95em]Nooooooooo! [/size][size=1.35em]Blue[/size][size=1em] is one step too far FFS [/size] :eek [size=1em] , [/size][size=1.35em]Red [/size][size=1em]is bad enough [/size] :'(
[size=1em]I have watched the aforementioned videos several time and Mathatter rides like a demon, he puts me to shame already, I could not ride like that if I had 3 foccing arms.[/size]
[size=1em]And your right of course I could set up something in place of the twist grip and it could stay on the correct side of the bike.[/size]
[size=1em]If I had the bone fusion done the only movement I would lose would be the rolling throttle action all other movements would stay the same.[/size]
[size=1em]Cheers for the encouragement I will look into it [/size] :thumbup
I had a consultation with the bone Dudess a month or so ago and said that I would not be going down that route for at least another year, she had given me a direct line number and said that as and when I decide to have it done as I am already on her books she could express it through for me and it could be done in a matter of weeks rather than months/year.
A spring loaded/returned thumb lever could possibly work, as you say would take a bit of getting use to, but then I would have an excuse for riding like a big girl LOL (No offence ladies, especially the lovely Jenny Tinmouth X) :rolleyes
