Ohhhh! I think I have a little damp spot, check out this bad boy.
Yes may favorite man with the big white van delivered this bad boy to me today, made me smile after the disappointment of being delivered a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge from Yodafone yesterday that had a duff nano sim card included in the package.18 mile bike ride tomoz to the nearest Yodafone shop to grab another nano sim. But in all fairness to the magic Yoda they have been brilliant for the last 20 odd years I have been with them, I have 4 phones on my account: Me, Wife, Daughter and Son's and this is the first clitch we have had with them. They reduced the contract down from £37 a month to £28 wavered the £30 upfront charge and put a £5 gift into my account that can help pay the next bill. Would I recommend Yodafone, goes without saying.

The thinking behind their statement was if someone was thick enough to purchase a slow (Black FZS) machine they most likely would not be aware enough to even notice the bumps, and, as the machine is not capable of anything above moderate speeds handling is unlikely to need improvement. :moon :finger [size=1em]Have a good one mate[/size] :thumbup
Etch primer and two coats of silver get me sorted then. :lol
I'll have you know that I've just removed all brake fluid from my reservoirs, and removed all 3 calipers. This 2.2 kilo weight saving must surely add 12 to 13 mph by my guestimate :b

Can also give an increase in speed and positively aids acceleration Please see the attached image: The model shown is the out and out sports customisation, a touring version is available for carrying pillions, its called the twin peak. Hope you find this valuable as a safety feature and helps you feel more secure whilst riding. :rolleyes

That's on my "I need one" list. I'll probably end up getting one once I've finished removing the petrol from my tank and the oil from the engine. 1 litre of fluid is equivalent to 1 kg this 21 kilo weight saving will see me easily hitting 190mph in a headwind if my basic calculations are correct :rollin

Do post some pics in here after you finish the customisation it might encourage others to follow suit.

I will post some photo at the end of this modification journey..for now I am contemplating future modifications.
I need to google bamboo handlebars and see if their is a significant weight saving to be had. I've also contemplated using helium in my tyres, and riding whilst facing the rear of the bike so the curviture of my spine improves the Co drag efficiency .

Hi Toady I think we should bring an end to this as we will get our backsides kicked form the admin as it is: 'What did you do with your FAZER today' post. But you will notice that the author and proliferater of the post should also have his or her arse kicked as they very disrespectfully using the lower case 'f' when spelling FAZER. But I still look forward to seeing the completed project, the only thing I would add is be careful with the Bamboo Bars, I will say only one thing 'Woodworm' :agree  top I am in the process now of converting the Fazer to left hand drive.
15-10-16, 04:15 PM
I agree. Back to being sensible again.
Ordered a new rear tyre today. 71 quid delivered. I work for a college in Essex. Just so happens the nice people in the bike workshop will fit and balance for me. Yay

Super glue seems to be holding up :thumbup

Set Fazer's to stun

On my way home this evening, musing on what had been a monumentally grim 12 hours at work, I rounded the day off in suitably crap style. For anyone else as distracted/stupid as me: the stretch of roadworks at Junction 10 of the M4 westbound now has average speed cameras. :wall 
Put 23 litres of unleaded into the 22 litre 600 tank this morning :lol
21-10-16, 12:36 PM
Are you sure it was unleaded
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
