I could be interested in the tyres. What sizes (hoping for stock) and price for both? Having read about about the dented rims, I'll be happy to take than as is and remove the tyres myself.
And NO, I don't want tow bar! : D
i`ll have a look tomorrow for size,christo will give you a price
..........are you sure you dont want to buy a towbar [size=78%]?...be quick i`ve got lots of people interested[/size][/quote]
Any word on the front tyre condition yet? And headlight reflectors?
[/quote]
hi jamieg.....sorry for taking so long,should have the wheels and headlight off tonight
...have had a quick look at the tyres and they look very good and as already mentioned only 1000 miles old.....will pm you and also post pictures tonight ....cheers paul aka red98

USe your own seat for the altering! The stock on my bike is the comfiest / least worn or ropey of any other Fazer 600 I've seen. Previous owner was a girl, must have been a slip of a thing, the seat felt barely used when I got on the bike.
£30.

Same goes to you, Nog? I still have 95% of a bike to sell! Make me a ridiculously overinflated offer on something, or stop taking the piss out of squirrelhead! :lol
As for the forks, Exup hasn't paid - I'll give you first offer, Nog - a steal at £499,99!!
PS: Buy my towbar.

I know a trick for seized callipers that works better than compressed air - a grease gun.
Hold in the working piston with molegrips (and bits of wood to protect the metal, obviously), screw the greasegun end onto the bleed nipple and pump. The calliper will fill with grease, and the piston should slide out, easy as you please.

How much for the headlight unit?
The front headlight unit is in various pieces. Not for sale as it's too damaged to salvage - sorry.

Depends on what I want it for!

Are the reflectors intact? If they are and the price is right, I don't mind taking the broken unit and taking them out myself.
hi jamieg.....reflectors and lens good.bulb shield loose.

That seems like such a horrific idea! Why would you subject your caliper internals to grease, you'll never get all of the bloody stuff back out. If you don't have access to compressed air, then use the brake fluid! Clamp one side using a G-clamp with some cardboard to protect the metal surfaces and just pump out the other side. Tidy it up, replace everything and repeat - just need some extra brake fluid and bleeding brakes really isn't a difficult job
