Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - joebloggs - 28-04-16

If you ever get the chance to thrash one down a twisty back road you'll wonder why they got that reputation. Amazing amount of grip considering how narrow the tyre's are. Great fun.

Oh, you mean their cars? I've thrashed many down a twisty road as most drivers are too busy looking in their mirrors to make sure the wind hasn't put their hair out of place :rollin :rollin :rollin

Ordered a 16kg/mm spring from Tony Staley 01709 375375, £36.00 delivered, impressed, I'd lost his details and rang someone else, he was ranting on about wire thickness etc then said it'd be about £50, he hung up when I said the price I'd previously been quoted......

Also ordered two spring seats from Lazer Master, they advertise on ebay, one off washers up to 75mm OD any ID but I hadn't allowed or the larger diameter of the stronger spring, after talking to Tony Staley he suggested 85mm OD, quick phone call to amend my order and I got the larger diameter seat for the same price (I fucked up and saved money, thats what you call good service)

While I was in the mood I sent George (Engineer who made the rose joints) gvbiker@yahoo.co.uk some drawings of fasteners I need making for the suspension links and shock mount

Have a feeling May's going to be an expensive month


Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - JD-LincsUK - 30-04-16

Got shoved off in town this morning - with the missus on the back.

About an hour or so ago. Crossroads from single road into dual carriageway through town. Traffic lights all round.

Lady in car in front and we're sat in the single crossing road and turning right, onto the dual carriageway. We missed the previous green light, because this lady driver was crawling along so slowly and the couple of cars in front made it through green - she was really dawdling.

When the lights turned green again, she pulled away really slow again - and started pulling to the left lane of the dual carriageway, so I pull to the inside of the turn (which would be onto the outside lane in the dual carriageway) to ride past and she suddenly pulls over to this lane and I put the bike down to avoid hitting her.

Missus falls off the back and I have my leg under the bike. Fortunately, injuries are minor - my knee is purple and the skin is gone from the kneecap and my ankle is painful, where it was twisted and trapped under the bike. Gear-wise my brand new boots are ruined - toecap was ground off. Missus is a little bruised, but otherwise okay.

Thankfully, four blokes jumped out of different vehicles to help her lift the bike off me - but I couldn't stand for a while. Also, the bike is not bad. The handlebars are a write-off - badly bent. The fairing is just a little scuffed, as is the engine casing and the leading edge of the silencer. Oh, and the new mirror is scraped, of course.

The woman (seemingly of Eastern European origin) did stop and come and apologise - she was very shocked. Anyway, I have no idea who, if anyone, was at fault - but I decided to let it go. I can repair the bike and I was looking at replacing the handlebars anyway. Okay, my boots are buggered, but what the hell, you know I'm just happy we are all okay - especially the missus - all I could think of for the first few minutes while I was trapped under the bike! Thank god it was such a low speed.

I was able to ride the bike home (with the missus on the back) but the steering was, of course, well off, with the handlebar bent.

Renthal  758's are the way to go, I think.




Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - slappy - 30-04-16

Main thing is you and misus are ok, but I personally would have asked for the drivers details ,insurance etc just in case. I wear a video camera on my helmet  which in a case like yours might have helped with a insurance claim against the driver.

Sometimes you just have to be thankful that no permanent personal damage is done.
But with saying that I would have shead a tear or two over the bike being damaged, scuffed fairing and lump cases are not easy to repair and most repairs are always noticeable, hang on I'm just going to get another tissue. :'(
Glad you both OK  Smile



Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - JD-LincsUK - 30-04-16

Thanks.

It's funny - I can think of nothing else since, yet the missus seems to have forgotten it already!  Nuff said.

I've been looking up the bits I need - I put "Renthal 758" in Google and it came up with Demon Tweeks (amongst others) like this:

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorcycle/handlebars/renthal-superbike-ultra-low-bars

Are these the right ones, because it doesn't specifically say they are 758s?

Also, does anyone know if these end would fit?:

When my son was home at Christmas we swapped my 55000 mile old Hagon shock with his, as his was leaking (it had done about 45000miles between two 400s and his 600) I sent off the shock to Hagon and 2 weeks later I received a brand new stainless steel bodied shock with my old spring for £120 incl postage

When speaking to him a few weeks ago he was telling me he thought the shock we swapped was no leaking.
I took off my one and posted it to him (he has no other means of transport whereas I have)
He swapped the shocks and sent the old one now with over 60000 miles on it to Hagon with my address as the return address.
Hagon rang me on Monday to say they would be replacing the full shock and it was £160.
I gave them the go ahead and this morning I picked up the shock from the courier.
One brand new  new stainless steel bodied shock with a brand new spring all for £160 incl postage. :thumbup
If only Delkevic were as efficient :rolleyes

Now to fit it  Smile
