Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Millietant - 25-09-18
Headed out to Northern Ireland on Saturday (crossing Stranraer to Larne) with wife and son on the 2 Fazer's and me on the FJ 12.
Touring round and visiting natural wonders for the last couple of days and heading down to Castle Ward today, then back up to Joey Dunlop memorial garden and a couple of other Game of Thrones filming sites.
B & B internet isn't great, so limited pics uploaded.
Ready to leave

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Anquetil - 29-09-18
A 180 mile round trip on the 600 to the Anglesey Circuit to watch my friends racing in the Wirral 100 Club meeting. Frosty start but sunny and blue skies.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - robbo - 29-09-18
A 303 mile round trip to the David Silver museum in Suffolk. An eventful day to say the least :lol .
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Grahamm - 30-09-18
Went up to Halfrauds and tried to find a paint to match the frame on my FZ6 without luck
I can find ones that look similar, but I'm not sure the finish would match and it would probably annoy me more to have something almost, but not quite right and I really don't want to have to repaint the whole rear end...

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - fatbloke62 - 30-09-18
Or if you have a good body shop supplier near that can make you up a aerosol ,they should have the formula's on micro fiche for a more reasonable price as RS paints are very dear

I have, but according to what I've found elsewhere, I'm looking for 0895 Silver #8 (S8) for the 2006 FZ6 which isn't listed.
The only place I can find that has that is in the USA and it's about £45 for the paint and lacquer, there again, that's only £3 less than RS Paint!
I'm going to look at body shop paint matching services in the next couple of days, although given I can get both paint and lacquer from Halfords for about £15, I may just take both rear sub-frames off and respray them completely with something that's close enough that it would look better than just cleaning up the rust and then spraying over that...
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Millietant - 01-10-18
That's what I'd do - getting a colour that's "close enough" will do, as long as you paint the whole thing.
If you've got the time to let the paint cure for a couple of days, I'd give it a final 2 coats of Halfords Heavy Duty PU Clear Lacquer to finish the job off. I've used it when I repainted my frame, front mudguard and my fork sliders and it gives a deeply shiny and durable finish - but if you put it on before the paint has gone off, it crinkles up something rotten (don't ask me how I know :lol )

I may well do that. I've been looking at any silver cars I went past today because I'd like to replicate the "pearl" finish, rather than just getting a flat silver.

Oops!
Thanks for the advice :thumbup
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Anquetil - 04-10-18
Just got back from a ride on the 1000 to Long Lane Cafe, Queensway, Telford. Some bikers I was chatting to a few weeks ago recommended it to me so I thought that I'd pay a visit. Sunny, 16 degrees. Perfect biking weather. Food was good, cafe clean and tidy, staff very friendly, plus there were a few bikers there. I shall definitely be returning. 110 miles round trip.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - 5LV - 04-10-18
Rode it for the first time since April.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Anquetil - 09-10-18
A ride in the sunshine to Colwyn Bay/Rhos on Sea. Coffee and teacake at the Cayley. Quiet roads and 16 degrees.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Old-Git - 10-10-18
I put a nighteye LED bulb in fred - see the difference..... I'll try and get some beam throw pics later.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Grahamm - 11-10-18
Gave it a good washing with Nooj's Shiny Bike Sauce (very effective and highly recommended), then tried to get on with cleaning off the rust on the rear footpeg hangers and and repainting them.
Unfortunately the first thing I found was that the allen bolts which hold the Givi racks to the underseat pipes are pretty much solidly rusted in place, despite using Plusgas on them several times over the past few days, so on one the inner hex has rounded off and the other broke the tip off a ball-end allen key
(I'm probably going to have to either drill them out or cut a slot in them and see if I can get them out with a flat-head or maybe impact driver.I took the rear wheel off to give good access, but then one of the bots on the hugger snapped whilst trying to unscrew it. Fortunately the rest came out ok, so I'll be able to secure it back in place.
I then found that the drill-type wire brushes were too big to get into all the nooks and crannies, so ended up using a Dremel instead which was a bit of a faff, but did the job to clean the rust off.
After some masking tape and using a cardboard sheet to screen the bike from over-spray, I put a couple of coats of etch primer on the hangers which already look better, now I just need leave that until tomorrow and then repaint them.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - robbo - 13-10-18
Thought I'd capitalize on the good weather today, so had an enjoyable whizz down to Loomies via the A272. A coffee in the sun watching bikes come and go. Looked like there'd been some rain shortly before I arrived, then down A32 to the Admiral Drake in Portsmouth for a bite to eat and a pint. Retraced my steps back to Box Hill for a catch up with the usual herberts.185 miles door to door on one tank of gas. I did take my time to squeeze in the last couple of litres though.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Anquetil - 20-10-18
A ride from Wrexham to the K1 Cafe, A518, near Uttoxeter. 130 miles in mild, dry weather, plus quiet roads.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - fazersharp - 20-10-18
Rode it until the sunset
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Fazerider - 20-10-18
Cracking shot Mr Sharp! :thumbup
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Grahamm - 21-10-18
Got a new front tyre fitted (Bridgestone T31) and went out for a nice ride to scrub it in
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - red98 - 21-10-18
Yes , a very good shot mr sharp......wonderfull morning here in south bucks , sun just coming up , clear sky and a light mist , great morning for a bit of photography , unfortunately iam up early to replace the fence at the bottom of the garden , but as a reward I might do as you and nip out on the FAZER at the end of the day
