Deffo mate, there a couple of guys about us with Fazers. The shock upgrade (either the Devilsyam R6 upgrade, or a Nitron upgrade etc.) is next on my list to do - im a hefty chap and the old shock really struggles with me as well.

Mines has been full montied though, I can definately recommend that as well - transforms the ride. If you see a Fat man riding a grey thou thats me anyway, just gimme a wave

great pic mickvp wheres that ??

[mickvp]

On the A82 near Strachur Downey. You will likely have rode through this road on your tour of Scotland last year

[downey]

yes i remember the a82 ,bloody great spot scotland gotta go bk again sometime soon

[Johnb]

Nice bike, what does full montied mean?

[hotmetal]

Do like the A82. Last time I was up there we went up it, then up the west coast, across to Skye on the world's smallest ferry, (brilliant!) all along the north coast to JoG, then back across so we could do the A82 in the opposite direction.

John, full Monty means Ivan's full kit and carbon mods with all the trimmings, airbox mod etc, as opposed to the Ivan's slip on kit which is not quite as far reaching.

[mickvp]

Nice bike, what does full montied mean?

As above really John, it means that an ivans "slip-on" kit has been fitted (different set of needles etc in the carbs), plus an air filter/exhaust and some airbox modifications as well. it makes the bike a little bit quicker, and much smoother to ride.

[Johnb]

Ah right, I put an arrow can on mine, I put it into
Dyno Ecosse for a set up, it's running 134@wheel
And seems ok, airbox is still standard though
