jumping on this thread  :b  been after changing the front mudgaurd/fender on my fzs600 to the fazer 1000 guard like you have is it just a straight swap or did you have to fiddle about changing stuff?? it looks so much better with the black one on urs  :lol 

[MarkWales]

Mine is not from a Thou it is an original Yamaha :faz  600 upgrade - sorry unable to help with the fitting advice

[D8nny7]

Where abouts did you get it from and do you know what it's called as I'll keep my eye out I have a Fazer just like yours

[MarkWales]

I was lucky on eBay - not very common

[D8nny7]

very lucky by the looks of things ive searched all over cant find any at all  :wall :thumbdown

[MarkWales]

Noggy has one on his 600 he is breaking I think it has gone

[MarkWales]

Not fitted yet but today I picked up a baffle kit for my can





will fit tomorrow and hopefully not feel so bad leaving early in the mornings!

Nice bike in the best colour too

[MarkWales]

Thanks


Took a slightly scenic route home today and stopped at the transported bridge for a cheeky photo.





Found this on arriving home  :'(




pulled it out had gone in sideways not straight into the tyre - no air leak



this was the problem

[Exupnut]

Wow... V lucky with the bolt.. Bike looks good but the gate looks faster :-))

[MarkWales]

fitted short levers










Pillion grab handle with caps  - a lot cleaner looking and better quality paint










stainless manifold - amazed at the difference in weight and internal bore










K and N filter and torque arm to go

[MarkWales]

So I set about the K and N this morning - My brother was visiting so he got roped  into helping and was supporting the tank (full of fuel) as I got the filter in and tightened down the cover he turns and says "My hand is wet and smells like petrol - look its pouring out the side"


so quickly removed the tank and placed on its side to find this





Looks a little odd but I luckily had Gregs tank sat in my shed





after the drama of a tank swap returned to fitting the last piece from Noggy








and then had the chance to clean one of the downpipes



used astonish and it works well just need to do the other 3 now

[noggythenog]

All i can say Mark is this..........






Buy my tank :lol


£25 and it's yours.

[MarkWales]

should have a look - how bad was the damage?

[noggythenog]

should have a look - how bad was the damage?

It is dings on the upper half so not where the fuel and water rots through...just a shame......lets say for arguments sake that a part of the tank inner liner has come off under the bashes and into the fuel....well ive had no issues since the crash and when i emptied the fuel it came out clean and straight i to the thou and the petrol lawnmower.




I cant guarantee it but i can say that it is probably 95% better than the one you have....almost disposable for £25 and could run for years and years while you find a mint one......mind it is an 00, 01 tank though so best check if theres any fitment differences....if it fits then it is instant more capacity than yours.

Impressed with the look of it.

[MarkWales]

Thanks for the comment caps and torque arm both[size=78%] came from Noggy  so not much help! I believe the torque arm to be a one off.[/size]
