[color=rgb(119, 119, 119)]Took the old girl out for a test ride after fitting thundercat forks, yokes and bars ready for a track day at brands hatch on 6th of March. just basic setup but she feels so much better and is wishing me to tip her in to the corners only wish it is warmer and dryer. A bit of fine adjustment and she's ready for ragging around brands.[/color]

Looks good fella, are the fork bottoms any different to the fzs600?
Re: What have you done to your FZS600 bike today - daviee - 28-02-17
would be interesting to know if thunder cat fork would be a direct replacement into the fazer yokes ?

finally got round to stickerbombing the rear center panel to cover the hole untill i can do it properly or replace
and given the seat a leather treatment as it dried out after taking it swimming in the recent floods

Loomies run for me in Hampshire this arvo, the place was packed, a little bit of sunshine on a Saturday and all the boys we out on their toys. I did not hang about as it looked like a 20-25 minute queue for a coffee so I visited my old mate (Wildplum) in Hindhead got a cup of tea instantly and it did not cost me a quid.
Luvley jubley. :lol

I got it
Re: What have you done to your FZS600 bike today - tommyardin - 04-03-17
The other thing I did to my Fazer today, in fact 3 minutes ago, was to raise the gear shift lever by one spline on the shaft.
I have just purchased some new bike boots (Really pleased with them) but I have been finding it difficult hooking up for the next cog especially when ragging it, what was happening was my boot was just stopping the lever from dropping low enough to allow the lever to engage for the next cog swap position. :rolleyes
[size=1em]= F[/size]at feet :'(
