Re: My Fazer so far - thunderpantz - 02-03-14

Many thanks for all the replies chaps, really is appreciated. Still got a fair bit of work to do to make it mine, and as I keep making jobs for my self, I best get a jog on with it!

So in the spirit of 'pulling my finger out', first quick update:

Fresh rubber! Opted for BT023's front and rear Smile

Nice, I've got the rubber coolant pipes I removed from my 02 foxeye if you want them? They were all good when I took them off.

Chris

Edit: sorry, just seen your other thread which says it's one of the metal unions you're replacing.

Very nice colour choice

Re: My Fazer so far - thunderpantz - 07-04-14

Cheers for the replies guys!


Well after snapping one of the infamous exhaust studs an executive decision has been made. New MOTAD pipes were collected this morning. Easter weekend, the jobs getting done. Decided i'm not going to FOC about. Dremel the nuts off, heads coming off and replacing all the studs.


Off to ebay I go to get studs and head gasket Smile

Re: My Fazer so far - jason1 - 07-04-14

Looks spot on  Wink

Re: My Fazer so far - y82ugp - 09-04-14

Nice job keep up the hard work,the sun is due out soon.

Re: My Fazer so far - thunderpantz - 16-04-14

Plans come forward. This is getting done tomorrow Smile

Re: My Fazer so far - thunderpantz - 13-06-14

Haven't updated this for a while. Stainless downpipes have since been fitted, carb rubbers replaced and MOT passed this morning Smile

Re: My Fazer so far - thunderpantz - 19-06-14

Having got some spare time today, i've set about having a fettle with the bike. First up, I've swapped out all the engine bolts with new stainless replacements:

Looks much better imo, next plan, swap rocker cover over for a 'cleaner' unit Smile

Re: My Fazer so far - thunderpantz - 19-06-14

Rocker cover replaced and also fitted new front indicators to match the rear:


Spot the difference:

And how he stood after a couple of hours:

(ignore the black mark on the down pipe, exhaust is ever so slightly blowing fron the head, pushed a hot down pipe in with a microfiber.... end result is melted microfiber. All gone now though)


Next job is to re seat the downpipes and fit new gaskets again and sort the brakes; new pads, braided lines and fluid.



Re: My Fazer so far - thunderpantz - 18-07-14

My next job was supposed to be brakes.... then I had an interesting packing from noggy


[Image: 20140716_085526_zpsf9pnckkk.jpg]


Inside it were Renthals, Bar Ends and some elusive coolant hoses. Yesterday I set about doing the pipes

Anyway, you get the hint. It was all going so well until literally the final part. Putting the coolant plug back in:


[Image: 20140717_173029_zpsjdvjfmiy.jpg]


Which as you can see, took it upon itself to snap. At this point, I said a few swearies, down'ed tools and called it a day. I was miffed  :'(


So Today came, feeling fresh and ready to go:


[Image: IMG-20140718-WA0012_zpsokepgxvs.jpg]


TADA!! Got it out! So, phoned 3 local Yammy dealers and nothing, they don't keep spares and would be a 2 week wait. Cue me going through the dad's shed looking for bolts that 'might just do it'


[Image: IMG-20140718-WA0014_zpspqzjzq2y.jpeg]


And after a bit of jigery pokey with a dremal:


[Image: IMG-20140718-WA0017_zpsz4fv2h6y.jpg]


And this is how he stood earlier. Haven't had chance to fit the bars as the car is going for it's MOT in a sec (wish me luck!)

Re: My Fazer so far - red98 - 18-07-14

Nice job thunderpants.....but not as good as noggys wrapping... :lol :lol :lol.....that graphite paint looks good  :thumbup

Re: My Fazer so far - noggythenog - 18-07-14












Thunderpants....your bike rocks :guitar :guitar :guitar




Im quute impressed with those hoses, it's a shame that a few of them arent visible allot of the time and the bike needs a few more blue touches.....if i'm honest i went overboard with the blue levers but the blue bar ends will add a spot to the upper right portion, then theres the blue spots for lower right, the hoses for the centre.






But i really do think a splash of blue on the lower left portion would complete without going ott.......& what better way than with a blue spot thou caliper 8) 8) 8) ......i dont have one.....but it wiuld look the biz.




& i also think you should paint the plastic frame plugs the same Blue.....woola 8) .






& the upgraded rear grab rail would modernise things.......ooooh i have one of those for sale Wink


& i might have another small addition you could be interested in....nowt special but ill show you tomorrow.

Re: My Fazer so far - thunderpantz - 18-07-14

Grab rail you say.... im interested. And cant wait to see you special something Wink

Lookey lookey mr pants :photo




Upgraded grab rail in black...a few scratches but generally a nice item in black (youd need to check they still fit the older bikes)..........£15






And what else?......these 2 luxurious and fresh looking side panels.........complete with decadent yamaha tuning fork dome stickers.......& pro bolt allen bolts.....woooooooooooooohhhhhhhh 8) 8) 8) .........£5 each side bargain.


Plus postage whatever that comes to.






What you reckon?

Re: My Fazer so far - thunderpantz - 19-07-14
