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!

Welcome to the forum, nice tidy bike.

[Motomike]

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

[noggythenog]

I agree, thats a nice colour scheme for sure


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


Welcome Motomike im sure youll love it here, get stuck in. 8)

[Motomike]

Nice one cheers. How do you get the smilies?

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!!!

[Motomike]

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?

On my tablet they appear just above the box you put the post in, not sure about computers.

[Motomike]

I'm using my phone at the minute, guess I'll just have to play around a bit

[Motomike]

Nope that didn't work Lol

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.

[Motomike]

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.

[Motomike]

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