@darrsi - that link points to an Item for the FZ6 S2 - not the FZS600. The Item title is deceiving once you read the main body...

It is confusing but i've been comparing these pipes and they do look the same don't they? That's not a guarantee from me though!

Apologies, they do look very similar. I was just being cautious and hope you appreciate that I wasn't trying to demean your post

This is something I would be potentially interested in if the price was right I'll check my old burnt Fazer to see if the old rad pipes survived enough to give a good example of what we need - would save the £25 buying a new set

cheers deadeye, that'd be great. I'm sure if i bought the £25 ones i'd get them sold on again but would save that hassle  8)

I could be interested. Certainly don't want any Chinese rubbish!

Nobody asked you to buy "Chinese rubbish", we were trying to find out what was readily available online  :rolleyes

Ok Ruby Racing, i'll note you down as possibly interested. so that's 3 of us confirmed interest.  8)

@Chris, you live in Shetland?


I dread to think what weather you get?

I do indeed, to be fair the weather isn't as bad as everyone makes out. It can be wild but it's part of the charm of the island. Shetland is a beautiful place and a place well worth visiting if you've never been. Having said that, come sometime during the summer months, especially if you're on a bike. haha!

Great that's 4 of us. I'm just waiting to hear back from deadeye if he has the set of pipes we need to send them or if I need to buy a seperate set to send them. Will keep everyone posted

Come to England in the summer months and you get that wet, wild weather you're talking about!  :'( [/quote]

Yes, at least we don't usually get floods here, some of the roads have been known to wash away though... land slides are quite common as the land is mostly peat on top of rock and as soon as the water gets between them then it can slip.

Have a quick look at the pics in my introduction thread "hello from up north" some nice backdrops in there

They appear to be a bit scruffy and the outer shell has broken in places, but I think they should be enough for an estimate?

[Chris]

Cool, Thanks deadeye. shouldn't there only be 6 bits though?  :o

Like this one: http://www.fazerspares.com/items/133-1_3...-hoses.htm

I guess one of yours has come apart.

[Dead Eye]

Ahah, in that link the far left item is in fact 3 pieces - 2 rubber hoses and a metal pipe. The metal pipe on mine is fused to the frame

In my image, it would like the 3rd and 4th pipes, from the left of the image, together.

[Chris]

Ah yes I see, I think they would need the pipes together to make up a replica set?

[Dead Eye]

Ah yes I see, I think they would need the pipes together to make up a replica set?

Upon further inspection, there are two metal pipes (one either side) which are bolted to the frame and link the rubber pipes. If these were replaced with silicone, then they would most likely have to be secured with new brackets. Also note that I am missing the 2 pipes that are located under the tank as these have been completely dis-integrated and am showing an extra pipe which is the long thin overflow pipe(?)

I assume for most, the under tank pipes wouldn't be much of an issue as you can't actually see them unless you take the tank off.

[Chris]

Yes, I agree. Good point, Don't think we'd need the overflow pipe either would we? Obviously the less pipes to make the less the kit will cost and as an overflow you can't really see it and it's unlikely to wear out...

[Dead Eye]

The only reason I pulled the overflow out is because it links to the top right of the radiator (when sat on bike) so it is visible

[Chris]

Ah right, good plan then chuck 

I think i'd send them the pipes including the metal pipes so they can decide what's the best plan for them, sure they do clips and fixings too and if not then we can get them to make the kit from just the rubber templates. That a good idea?

[Dead Eye]

Yeah, it makes sense

Need to rummage around and see if I have a box of appropriate size...

[Chris]

Cool, it was a guy called David Sargent that I spoke to and the address to send stuff to is here:

SFS Performance
Unit E, Bramingham Business Park
Enterprise Way, Luton, Bedfordshire
LU3 4BU, UK

Once you've sent it off then I'll email him and say its on its way. Thanks again deadeye
