Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Hugh Mungus - 14-10-17
I've been blinging the Fazer up today.
Nice shiny stainless rad side covers, indicator repeaters (as I find it difficult to notice the one on the dash as it's green and not orange)
MRA screen - it's a bolt on one to extend the stock screen.
Pics will have to follow as I had 'other stuff' to do inside the house and I ran out of time.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - slappy - 15-10-17
Took a runout to Seaways cafe with a couple of mates,then down to Bridlington for fish and chips.
Seaways was packed with bikes taking advantage of the weather, some nice bikes there.
Knobhead of the day was the operator of the speed camera van parked totally blocking the cycle lane and half of the left hand lane on the dual carriage forcing all the traffic into the right hand lane.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dudeofrude - 16-10-17
Thought I'd try out one of the Halfords 120% brighter headlight bulbs seeing as they've been on 'sale' for the past 9 or 10 times I've been in there. Can't say I agree with the 120% brighter part but it's definitely and improvement over the original and its a much whiter light which I prefer.

Is that a Dominator 99 600cc lump? or a Commando
This attached picture was nicked from Google Images, always fancied a Dommie as a young man, they were the best handling machine of yesteryear, not just my opinion but a known fact, that's is why the cafe racer customisers used the Norton Featherbed frame (Wideline and Slimline) coupled with the Norton Roadholder forks and and grafted in a Triumph T110 or a T120 lump welcome in the TRITON.
The original Dommie 99 turned out 31 BHP, thinking about it makes me smile.
My 1959 BSA Super Rocket (650 A10 parallel twin) turned out a meagre 40 BHP, the Triumph Bonneville 1968 650cc at 46 BHP and the Thruxton Bonneville 53 BHP.
Compared with the FZS 600 around 97 BHP. :lol Yeah Fazer rules.
Check out the polished aluminium bicycle pump under the fuel tank of the Dommie LOL
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - robbo - 16-10-17
Tommy,
The Norton looks like a limited edition,only 50 made, Domiracer SS 961cc.Only about 3 years old and worth £30k plus if it's a genuine one.Spondon swing arm,Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes.I'd love it. :lol

Robbo , I think you are correct there, on side panel it says #45.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - maddog04 - 16-10-17
slappy, that's one nice looking Norton (silver tank one)
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - slappy - 17-10-17
I know, if I sell both family cars, my Fazer and borrow £15000, I could just about afford one, then wife wouls probably get it as part of the divorce settlement that would surely happen :lol
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Anquetil - 17-10-17
A ride on the 600 to Trawsfynydd, Dolgellau, Bala, Cup of coffee by the lake, then back to Wrexham, via Ruthin.
Still a bit breezy, 9 degrees in Bala. The lake car park was flooded a couple of days ago but ok today. A lovely, traffic free ride.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - fazersharp - 22-10-17
Had to wait until all threat of rain had passed ( as I do ) so finally got out at 4pm for a 2 hour blatt

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - slappy - 22-10-17

I've been through all those 120 / 200% brighter bulbs, when I was into all that with the car. Ultra / Osram / Philips etc...
On the whole I was left quite disappointed. Just wasn't as bright or white as I had expected. Good to see you've achieved nice results.
HID's are another matter however! But then you are dealing with the legalities (or lack of), bad light reflection (from a incandescent reflector etc), too hot for the light housing, MOT grey area, etc.

L.e.ds are great for indicators and brake lights but as far as I'm aware they aren't any good as headlights due to the focused nature of the light beam they produce? Then tend to shine directly away from the bulb with little to no dispersion. Thats why (as far as i know) no manufactures use them in headlights Only DRL's?
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - F4celess - 25-10-17
^ Also in different lighting conditions, for example dusk or sunset, a regular incandescent bulbs appears brighter (during that mid-light phase).
This morning... gingerly rode to work in the rain! :'( forecast said lovely sunny day today too!
I know, a wet road shouldn't mean a slippery road, but get a little tense riding in the wet (fear of a wheel sliding out). :rolleyes
