A bit more shiney for the fizzer

[Dave48]

Had a check of the speedo cable routing and did run close to the discs the previous way.. Is this the correct route "between the caliper bolts?"

Check-yes correct routing!

I like that cover the more I see it, looks way better being just plain instead of having fazer written on it.

Thanks for the replies.. Spoken to Derek today and looking like rad the cover will be a one off. Would struggle to produce for a price that wouldnt place it above some of the current available covers on the market.. Please feel free to copy the design tho if it appeals, as no patents are pending :lol

Thats a shame
For me it dosent have to be stainless steel, aluminum alli  would be fine or even plain steel and I will paint, am I the only one that would prefer a black one I do think the S/S one stands out too much and lets face it the rad is not pretty is it.
If he is not going to do them can you publish the layout if you have one

God loves a trier. 

Shame he can't make more though as it does look great. You enjoy its one offness  8)

Exactly. My bike came with one of those stainless ones with 'FAZER' across it. The other day I took it off, prepped, primered and sprayed it black. Looks far neater now!

Yes, but you can probably pull a smidgen of slack through from above and then the cable tucks in the gap between the top mount and the caliper... will look neater than running it over the fork lower in front of the bolt.

Thanks Fazerider.. Did tuck the cable in the small gap you mention.. Pic was more to see if that was the right way behind upper bracket and back in through gap between bolts.. cheers

I suspected that offering detailing advice to someone whose bike looks that tidy was probably unnecessary. :lol

I get the impression those showing an interest want one because of it's look of quality and sturdiness, not because they may get it cheaper or same price as the lower quality shyte found on the bay. 
Perhaps Derek should name a price and see what interest remains. Unless he really doesn't want to make them ofcourse

Thats it I like how neatand simple it looks and I think the ones with fazer across them are a little bit childish (sorry all those who have one)
Im sure that all the hard work is done in designing it Derek just needs to "bang em out"

[johna6968]

Rad covers are readily available for as little as £24.99, mentioned earlier in the thread by a member.. Higher end of the scale I figure they are around the £50 mark?.. I have now discovered the process of making them would involve 2 different people and therefore unfortunately wouldnt be viable.. The one I have fitted was gratefully completed as a favour from a family member.. If anyone would like any exact dimensions from the Rad cover dont hesitate to ask.. cheers John

[Tregzy]

I'm in +1 plz

[alan sherman]

Cut the side sections and pop the original side trims back on.  Looks really good.

What's that grill off/from ?

Does look well that rad cover.. My thinking was to give the rad wider/squarer look from the front and steer away from standard..

I know its been done before so sorry for nicking it
