What have you done to your FZS600 bike today
Thanks for the help with pics Unfazed, I'm not too clued up on this interWeb stuff. I'm undecided about the fairing too, would've had a pair of cibie lamps on a bracket from the headstock if I'd have built it myself, love the bug eye look. Don't reckon the little halogens will last long on the roads around here, the fat bars are going too, it's got double risers so will get a single set and put renthals on as soon as winter comes. Plan to wrinkle paint the engine and polish the side casings and cam caps, can do them on the mops so not as difficult as doing the pipes, that was a real ball ache. I'm going to jib out of offering to do yours Smile got the yellow/gold oxide and rust blobs off with birchwood casey rust and blue remover for guns before the polishing, it's probably the same as alloy wheel cleaner but a good bit stronger.
Rust never sleeps !

Changed today my front foot rests with vario CNC adjustable 23mm ones from MFW  Smile the original ones has a rivet so this needs to drilled out to get the new ones in.

Started making some horrible graunching noises in the latter stages of a quick 500 mile bimble over the weekend, so I gritted my teeth and looked to see if the front sprocket might need changing.

I think that's a yes. Whether that (and the small rockery that was embedded in the oily gunge under the sprocket cover) was causing the bumping and grinding remains to be seen, though.
At least I now know where to look for dropped battery terminal screws, anyway. And the bike is half a kilo lighter. And I get to change that dodgy nut (I think it's the thin one, at any rate).

You two are putting me to shame with all of your making stuff from stuff skills, brake airlock, foot rest adjuster-- so I thought I would have a go at making something myself

Sorted my digigear en route to work :thumbup
Replaced my rear brake for a bluespot after work :thumbup
Couldn't get it to bleed properly :thumbdown
But after a beer and a chat on the 1000 thread I kept going and success :thumbup
Next job on my list is to replace front pads while I still try to figure out how to change the clocks, it's giving me headaches, I thought it was a straight swap Sad

Had another great track day at Bedford Autodrome. Changed the front sprocket to 13 tooth for greater punch out of the corners. Videos being uploaded to YouTube tonight if anyones interested. Still revs into the red-line, fastest top speed 134 on the back straight not bad for 86,000+ miles. Added a few pics from the day.

Yesterday rather than today, rode in to work and met up with big brother!
After, took up to Deefer's for a complete overhaul (fluids, plugs, filters, brakes, brake lines, calipers & pistons and a carb balance) over the next few days
Hope to end up with a bike that drives the way it looks  Smile
