Fitted rubber gaiters on the forks.
Not to everybodys taste, but I like the look. Kind of reminds me of the BSA Rocket Gold Star look, except the Fazer does everything better. More important they serve a useful purpose in keeping all the road crap off the working surfaces of the forks.
good idea

That's an aluminium shield, (with a bit of graphics on it), which stops water and road grit thrown up by the front wheel spraying the front of the engine.
It extends under the pipes and also protects the pipe junction area from being shot blasted by grit.
Even with a fender extender on it's surprising how high spray from the front wheel gets up the engine.
Now it's just the graphics that takes a battering

On the old site I posted drawings of the shield and brackets needed to fit it, but I don't think anyone else bothered.
