Hi again Foccers + knee down pic
#1
Last time I checked in here, there was a mass genocide of 600s... (yep, that month 3 or 4 Fazers crashed) Hope all has been well since  :b

Have not been on the forum for ages - have had no reason to as my little Fazer has been running like clockwork and after years of tinkering I'm now happy with how it's set-up (plus busy life gets in the way).

Had an awesome day at Brands Hatch recently and wanted to share a cool photo with you guys (I think it is anyway). Held it's own in the intermediate group and plenty of red faced sportsbike riders  :lol

NICE......real nice!!!  Smile


I certainly won't be anywhere near that sort of angle when I go round there for the ride skills day on Monday!!
Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!

Looks nice --- do you have standard pegs, as your angle looks very steep yet the pegs are not down,
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

You'll love it HarryHornby, Brands Hatch is such a nice track, enjoy.

Yes, standard pegs.... believe me, the pegs did go down quite often! The rear ride height is slightly higher than standard though, courtesy of Kebab's R6 shock conversion and it's accompanying shorter dogbones  Smile

Probably the exhaust of a sports bike he collected when running up the inside on a corner.

Ace that, doesn't look much clearance left at all. Bet your tyres have wear all the way across after that?

All the way to the edge of the tyre, on the front and rear. PR3s are very good for a sports touring set

Very nice!


So they don't require you to tape up the headlights at trackdays anymore??

The thing Im not quite getting is that I have scraped my pegs a few times and the lean angle never felt like that, mayme cause yours is jacked up a bit.

He's hanging off a lot, less lean angle, easier for knee down.

Looks like his BUT CRACK is right in the middle of the seat to me (from here anyway)

Perhaps it's hard to imagine the degree of lean when actually on the bike and we all lean further than we imagine

Fuzzy, you have a pm Smile
