Evening all,
Managed to get some time in the garage this weekend. All the fork parts have arrived including the new stanchions so hopefully I'll get them reassembled over Easter.

great to watch a full resto going on
mine might be getting the full strip and redesign treatment when i get my new house in the city (need it everyday here in the countryside)
will be watching with anticipation of where you go with yours
im thinking of going a metalic high sparkle blue with hydrodip layed over the top
if your wanting to stand out have a look at the hydrograpics options its amzing what you can have done now
Re: Restoraion - vinnyb - 15-04-17
I love what you've done with the cooling fins. I think I'm gonna do the same to mine once I've resprayed it.
Re: Restoration - Wootan - 17-04-17
Thanks for the spelling help :lol
That however is the least of my problems. Tried to strip the wheels for powder coating and the brake disc bolts aren't for shifting. One has snapped already so looks like I'll be drilling them out unless a little heat will persuade them.

Now then is the perfect time to try the ATF/Acetone mix for us don'tcha think?

As for colours then everyone will just suggest the same colour as their own bike (because everyone thinks their colour is the fastest... haha) I do love the origonal yamaha colour of deep purplish blue metallic cocktail, same as my foxeye but got for something completely different. I always think the fazers shape lends itself well to a strip of different colour down the middle. the tank has the raised centre section, the tail unit has the centre section and the front can easily be seperated between the lights or whatever. Go on give it a racing stripe then it'll be super fast. haha.
I had my wheels done gloss black and think it looks much nicer than the standard satin black too as they never looked clean and shiney to me.
Keep us updated!
Chris
Yeah Chris is right about all Fazer owners thinking their colour is the fastest, all except the Silver Owners they don't just think they know LOL :finger
Re: Restoraion - vinnyb - 17-04-17
That's odd, I bought the blue one cos everyone I spoke to told me they were the fastest and the prettiest.

Mixed paraffin with ATF for exhaust on Mondeo and worked a treat.

It looks like you may have started a trend Wootan :thumbup
Re: Restoraion - Wootan - 28-01-18
Sorry Guys, progress has been slow and my updates have been even slower but I've been able to crack on for the last few weeks.
