gawn and done it - stevie-g1968 - 26-02-14
well, after signing up here on boxing day.... ive gawn n done it.
in at the deep end with a fazer 600 2002 model in blue.
il post some pics up at the weekend if I get time, il be collecting it on Saturday.....its going to be a little project as its a little scruffy around the edges.
its done 70k but with full history rides and runs very well...just needs a bit of fettling.
il proberbly start another thread..".can you polish a turd" or something.. :rollin
this is what I used to bling up...

Congrats on the purchase and have fun with the fettling. It's all part of the enjoyment of Fazer ownership.
If you need any advice just post up a thread. I won't be able to help you because I know foc all but there's loads of knowledgeable folk on here

all bikes need fettling
to get them just "right"...look forward to seeing the pictures .
Re: gawn and done it - stevie-g1968 - 26-02-14
yeh, used to fettling..been having a poke around at pics of members bikes trying to gauge what I think works and what doesn't for me.
going to go down the polished rims route, not sure about a belly pan yet? it would have to be black , as I don't think blue works for me... same with the hugger.
possible 25mm jack up at the back end?? anybody done this?? how does it affect the handling?
definatly need to get rid of the rear sail and get an under tray in blue..
colour change maybe...never ends does it.
one of the 1st things to sort is some damage to the nose fairing,
anybody know of a decent paint shop around mk northants area... and what kind of cost for a paint job on it?
Re: gawn and done it - mickvp - 26-02-14
stevie,
what makes you think it needs painting? can you not just polish it up (or have someone do it for you?).
Re: gawn and done it - stevie-g1968 - 27-02-14
the bike has been dropped on its right hand very light but still damadged... cracked and scuffed fairing...plus bungey strap marks on the tail....
il be honest herew... I came from a gsx1400 through a zzr600 to here...I mioss the 1400, but too heavy for my aches.. :rolleyes
fizzy, red is nice, rode one years ago...planted a seed as they say,,,

No, but you can roll it in glitter!
Good luck and make sure to post a thread of your mods. Always interesting following that sort of stuff.

I know a guy just outside of Chesterton, just outside of Bicester who does bodywork to a pretty good standard. Not sure he's done stuff for bikes, but he's had plenty of practise on cars. He's not expensive either.
Congrats on the buy, now for pics!
