Re: Ultimate FZS 600 - caretaker - 19-06-12

I'm being thick here but what do you say on the insurance form about bike mods!
Re: Ultimate FZS 600 - darrsi - 19-06-12
If you're daft enough to click on the modification part of an online insurance form, like me for my exhaust, then a whole box of options pop up.
You'd be amazed at some of the things they class as a mod', like engine or fork crash protectors for instance!
Surely they'd be put on for the benefit of your bike if you had a prang wouldn't they??? :rolleyes
Re: Ultimate FZS 600 - JZS 600 - 19-06-12
Be OK if you don't crash it then....
Re: Ultimate FZS 600 - darrsi - 19-06-12
Only reason i declared my end can was because i didn't wanna get mugged off by the insurance people on a technicality if i ever needed to claim!
Re: Ultimate FZS 600 - Rangrally - 19-06-12
It's a nice conversion, but why? Just buy an R1 or a FZ1.

Not if you declare the mods to your insurer....
As much as I love messing around with bikes the way insurers are nowadays I'd just buy a thou, bring back the old rider policy....
Re: Ultimate FZS 600 - wraith600 - 21-06-12
if you don't want 1000cc power keep the 6 and just make it handle better through a twisty bit of road that 6 will beat a 1000 :lol and is still cheaper to run
if you think that's mad you should see mine
Re: Ultimate FZS 600 - darrsi - 21-06-12
I see it never sold, i wonder what the reserve was?
Re: Ultimate FZS 600 - Fazerider - 21-06-12
Impressive job.
All it needs now is a nice stiff alloy frame off, say, an R1 to handle the extra power and you'd have decent bike. :lol
Anyway, apologies to Wraith... I seem to recall saying (about 6 months ago), that it probably wouldn't fit.
Still think it's a guaranteed way of spending a huge amount of time, effort and money to produce something that'll sell for about 10% of what would make the venture worthwhile from a purely economic point of view. Fine if it's a hobby and you're intending to keep it, but this guy is clearly going to take a huge loss.
Re: Ultimate FZS 600 - wraith600 - 21-06-12
exactley any amount of mods is only worth it if you are going to keep it . thats why i ended up doing mine most of the time it is fast enough i live in north london and rarely get out of hear except fore the odd track day or drag race
