Newbie - Motomike - 25-02-15

Hi all
Just joined after speaking with a few members on your Facebook page. I have a gen 1 Fazer 1000 that I've owned since last June after old age decided it was probably time to give up motocross and leave that to my two sons instead.......for now!

Re: Newbie - slappy - 25-02-15

Welcome to the forum, nice tidy bike.

Re: Newbie - Motomike - 25-02-15

Thanks, I searched long and hard to find one in that colour

Re: Newbie - noggythenog - 25-02-15

Slappy...isnt that the same scheme as your Gen2?

Yeah, when I sold my original gen1 I was very tempted to get another gen1 in that colour scheme, but then I saw the gen2 in similiar colours I could not resist.

Every time I see a pic of my bike I remember how crap that bellypan looks , like the look of the ermax that brooker has fited but the price!!!

Re: Newbie - Motomike - 25-02-15

That's smart, I'm sure I saw s pic of a gen1 with those forks on the other day, I guess you'd have to change the whole front end from the clamps down to make them fit wouldn't you?

There are a few guys on here that have fitted R1 front ends to the gen1, thats probably what you have seen. I think that the yokes have to be altered to fit.

Re: Newbie - Motomike - 25-02-15

Ah right, something else for me to look into then. I'm going to have some Roadsmart 2's fitted this weekend and I've emailed Mike about getting it i aniseed but not heard back from him as yet.

I wouldnt say it looks crap, it looks good, better than without one...but i do think it would better suit a more petite version.

Ive gone between the 2 bikes here a dozen or so times...both stunning...i honestly dont have a preference looks wise, even though im a gen2 owner.

But on both versions i always feel personally that the silver bits ie rad cover sides, rear sets, middle covers could do with being more stealthy as they stick out a bit amongst the black, yous might love them though, being a bit picky really coz like i say i do like them......im hardly the Gok Wan of bikes am i.

Re: Newbie - Motomike - 25-02-15

That's it, I'm stripping all the silver stuff off now and getting it anodised black! :'(
