Streetfazer

[74eldiablo]

I bought my fazer in early october having owned a VTR1000 firestorm for 1 month which was a nice bike in good nick cost a grand  and sounded awesome but the fuel economy was truly shocking even on a 70-80mph ride to work it would only manage 120miles to a full tank, i couldnt get on with the snatchy throttle and severe engine braking so i sold it for this!!I bought it for £900 more than i wanted to pay as the front fairing was cracked scratched and generally scruffy but i need a bike fast to go to work.


The first time i rode the bike in the dark coming back from work i realised the headlight was cack so i dropped the lumiled H4 bulb i had in the VTR i was an instant improvement but that meant riding with full beam on all the time.
I bought another lumiled H1 bulb but it wouldnt fit in the apeture.

Bugger!!
So back in december just before i emigrated to lithuania i sold the complete front end for £100 and decided to streetfazer it.
Now i did like the original fairing it was retro cool but the woeful headlight made me realise it was a good decision i wasnt going to throw silly money at some retrofit labs projectors on a £900 bike
I realise some of you may think i've butchered a perfectly clean bike but this is the best side (still with dent in tank and scratches on engine cover) the other side was bad, plus i wanted a project bike if a wanted to buy a perfect bike that just needs oil and petrol I could go buy one, but  that would take away the enjoyment of going to the garage and playing away from the wife and teapot lids.
