2000 FZS 600 Owner in Germany. - blackvyper - 02-05-20
[size=1.45em]I am an American Fazer owner living here in Germany. I bought this Fazer last year and had it delivered to me on the night of January 17, 2019. The very next morning I was waiting with the bike so that I could get the appoval for my modifications. Once I had that, I rode straight home and start cutting pieces off. It was a simple and as fast as that. I did do this in my garage in winter with a very small heater so the overall progress from delivery until "completion" actually took 34 days. It was a great learning experience as I lerned that certain metalworking and painting aspects should be left to the professionals, but I did it anyway :p[/size]

Welcome to the group.
I like the old Fazer.. in it's original form I wouldn't have ridden it, but luckily I cut it up and now it sits with my other motorcycles :p

No one rides on the back. The seat is 40cm long and I have special approval here in Germany because of the modification. I am not allowed to ride anyone on the back as it is now illegal, but I don't normally ride with anyone and if I do then I se one of my other newer bikes.

Thanks. It was my first attempt at customizing a bike. I replaced everything with LEDs and the speedomter is all digital. This kind of customization gives you the know how to do other things you didn't know you could do.

Yes, it's a Dodge Challenger. Cars should be driven to their limits when acceptable

Always wanted a 1970 R/T Challenger, which featured in the original movie Vanishing Point. The nearest I came was a 1970 Mach 1 Mustang, which turned out to be a black hole to throw money down :lol . Ride/drive safe :thumbup
