Your not wrong! I was eyeing up my dads Harley earlier, that's how bad it's getting!

[unfazed]

:eek Wash out you your keyboard for typing such a thing.

Did you know the 98% of Harleys are still on the Road somewhere in the world

The other 2% actually made it home :lol

Fiddled with the FJ 1200 - got a Thundercat 17" back wheel which after measuring seems as though it'll be a simple fit. Wheel spindle is the same diameter (although the 'Cat one is hollow), just 8mm to take off the spacer on the chain side and 8mm skim off the caliper carrier on the other side. Sprocket is the same offset from the wheel centre-line as the FJ and the FJ sprocket even fits straight onto the 'Cat carrier. Rear FJ caliper also fits directly onto the 'Cat carrier and the torque arm mountings are the same. Woo hoo!

I think you'll find the T-cat back wheel is the same as the Fazer 600 back wheel.

I think.

Don't think so mate, thought the T-cat ran a 180, not the 160?

Haynes says the rears are the same, but the T-cat ran a 120 front (I think). Punkstig is the man to ask!

[Millietant]

There's a very slight difference in the numbers cast into the wheel from the 'Cat and the wheel on my son's '03 Fazer. I've checked out the brake elements as well and they're all different - but I haven't taken the Fazer wheel out to check the wheel unit itself.


As luck would have it, I can't lay my hands on the spacer for the brake-side (the one that sits between the bearing and the caliper carrier) - so I think I"'ll have to trawl for one - as the caliper mounts are different, I can't use a Fazer spacer.

Checked the MOT on the car as I knew it was due this month... It expired in mid March :|

Apparently I got rather confused - March is sort of like May... they both start ma-

Managed to book it in today so now sat in a reception waiting on the verdict...

"Doctor, will it live?"

And it passed *phew*

Many many more advisories than last year which isn't so great, but nothing I can't handle once I have a garage

[Lez72]

Damn those advisories.

A Note to Garage: If it needs doing, do it. If it doesn't and its not unsafe, why mention it ???
