New to me Gen 1 - Need a few accessories.

1. MRA screen is cr4p so would like another one - I had the Yamaha touring screens on my previous FZ1's that were fine so what is that equivalent? I have the standard screen but not tried it yet but to be fair can't see it been any better.


2. Crash bungs

[Geowulf]

I have a full set of original crash bars that bolt directly onto the frame, they were on the bike when I bought it. I took them off and now just take up room in my garage. There are no bolts as I had to retain them, I'm guessing the bike's OEM bolts are long enough to mount the bars.

The front part of the guard clamps onto the down tube on either side of the frame, these are missing bolts as I needed them for something else, replacements should be easy to source.

If you're interested £50 plus postage.

Cheers

I ordered a couple pf cheap chines foot plates, one for the fazer thou, one for the xjr13. i'll let you know how they are when they turn up

[Nath]

Sorry for the later reply. Thanks for the offer Geowulf but I ordered some bungs in the end.


Ogri, if you could do please. I'm not sure if it's my imagination but the FZS seems to have the smallest foot print on a side stand I've ever had.

are these still available?

[Geowulf]

Hi WayneUK ,

Yes they are, I found all the bits, but no bolts, each bar bolts to the frame using two or three OEM bolts, and clamps to the down tube, the clamps require a couple of M6 or M8 bolts on each bar.

I'm 75% sure the bike's OEM bolts are long enough, when I bought the bike, the first thing I did was to remove the crash bars and retain the mounting bolts as they also secure the engine mounting bracket to the frame.

Cheers

How you getting on with these?

[Nath]

I think I've got this bike to pretty much where I need it to be  8)


New crash bungs - check
Heated grips - check
Sides stand footprint enlarger - check
Barkbuster handguards - check
New R&G bar ends - check
New tank pad - check


Just need to find a decent screen that works well for me and isn't too noisy.

[Dynspud]

Those Barkbuster guards are awesome.
They make such a difference by keeping the wind blast off the top and outside of your hands while the heated grips keep the palms and insides warm.

looks good buddy. I had to fit mine the opposite way around on onebike to make it work (the fazer), and then used stainless dome heads on longer stainless screws to get the angle and ct-1 to glue a bit of rubber cut from a small tyre to the underside.
