Took the FZS600 for an MOT today to 'A Force Motorcycles' in Aldershot, passed with no recommendations at all, so I am well pleased.
A Force Motorcycles is run by two brothers they are really helpful and very thorough  with what they do.
I have been using them for about 3 years now and would recommend them.
Each time I have needed their services IE: Puncture repairs, MOT's and tyres they have been brilliant. Both brothers are very helpful and whilst Darren was MOTing my bike his brother noticing that the two Phillips counter-sunk screws holding the top of the front master cylinder were rusty and one slightly damaged (wrong screwdriver damage) replaced them both with new stainless steel replacements, no charge, that the sort of service I like.
I get all my Oil and Chain Lube from them.
If your local and need a job doing give them a bell: 01252 334151 'A Force Motorcycles'

So now we know how your bike looks so mint eh! Every time you pop in they also polish the shite out of another part of your bike with fresh Bumblebee jizz.


I'd take mine there but they may have to swap the bee for a horse  Big Grin

How rude! Taking the piss like that.  :rollin :rollin  Jizzing a bumble bee is one thing, but a horse :eek

Neat, I use the same LEDs for running lights under the fairing:

They are actually a lot brighter than they look on the picture, and they are wide angle, so people on the side street who may not see the headlights will see those.

They sure are!
I'm trying to get a decent bracket made and maybe do like I saw in your pic but I've got the Boxeye so it's fairly flat at the point where I want to put them.
I was thinking 6 like yours but 2 middle going straight ahead and 2 each side at slight angle to catch the foccers on the side streets as you say Sad


Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - dickturpin - 22-03-16

Passed MOT.....another year of biking sorted

I noticed they get quite warm so I mounted them on a small aluminum bracket that is double side taped to the bottom of the fairing. The bracket acts like a heat sink and reduces the temperature of the LED quite a bit. As long as I am moving, they do not get too hot, but when stopped for a while, they do get warm. I was concerned that in the summer here (Florida) and when stopped in traffic, they would have gotten too hot.


For good measure, I painted the brackets the color of the bike Smile not that you can see anything when standing in front of the bike.

Great info, thanks I'll keep that in mind but I don't think I'll need to worry about them heating up too much in Scotland :lol
That's said I've not checked them after a run but guy who I bought them from never mentioned it as a problem. My intention is just a black bracket to put them wherey led running light is at the moment, which is basically where yours are but on the Boxeye model.

Couple of pics of them before I installed them.

Hey! I really like the look of those bad boys on the nose cone of the fairing. Big Grin Big Grin

That is what happens when you have to keep stopping, waiting and going back to look for a multicoloured BMW  :finger :lol :lol


Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - tommyardin - 25-03-16

Had to gun it a bit I was on a slip road joining the main drag when flashed by a truck, I assumed he meant me to go but I'm sure he hit the loud peddle as he flashed me. the old fazer jumped to my command down two and gone. I have never posted a video here before so not sure if this will work. Just realised that I would be putting myself in deep doo doos posting a video on here. as we are all law abiding citizens and respect the speed limits set by our wondrous constabulary. :angel
