This is pretty much everything I have done with my Fazer that I bought 2 years ago. I have now put about 11k on it and over time it has become more and more the bike I always wanted it to be. I did all of this work myself, so it is definitely do able. The pitting on my forks meant I had to rebuild one of them including a new stanchion which all in all was about £200 or so, felt great afterwards though so I would start there. Only other things to watch out for would be front sprocket washer upgrade (loads of info on here), leaky original downpipes under engine...erm think that could be about it for major issues. Cam chains can rattle a bit but if it silences after a few miles not much to worry about. Keep on top of basic maintenance and this bike will look after you. I can wholly recommend taking the naked option instead of a fairing rebuild! Bit of work involved, but looks much better in my opinion, far more comfy riding position and you dont get air tubocharged into the space under your helmet. It also looks better and gives the bike more character, but that is just my opinion! Good luck anyway mate, when winter comes plenty of ACF 50 and try to resist jet washing and you should be all good!
