Bastids would not let me post another pic on the last over. :'(
The one from the rear of the bucket looks like something out of Star Wars or a really pissed off Teddy Bear.
Gave it a thorough wash and polish, checked lubes, chain adjustment and tyre pressures, ready for the off tomorrow. I've booked a couple of B&Bs in Scotland ; gotta make use of this good weather while it lasts. Just keeping my fingers crossed that the bloody weathermen are right!
Tommyardin, a really pissed off Teddy Bear is kinda how I've always pictured you anyway :lol

Well, apart from your quotes :rollin

[size=1em]Well there is nothing I can either [/size]add or say to that.[size=1em]But what I have just done is 'push the boat out' [/size][size=1em]Enough of me talking the talk, I am now walking the walk,[/size][size=1em]Just ordered the Nitron R1 Mono-shock (Nitron Blue Spring) for the FZS600 Foxy.[/size][size=1em]Looking into the emulators for the front end, and, wondering if I have what it takes to complete the task.[/size][size=1em]I am OK with drilling out the holes and drilling new ones in the damper rods as I have access to a Pedestal/Pillar drill.[/size][size=1em]I did a year of engineering when I first left school, capstan lathe, large flat bed lathe with manual centering chuck, Mag table grinder, Mill and Shaper. [/size][size=1em]Mind you that was when I just left school (15) as I said and Noah had just got off the ark then, but i think I am up to the challenge.[/size][size=1em]I am also going to be daring as I am not going to buy a second hand set of replacement Damper Rods.[/size]Many thanks to Kabab for all the info that he has made available on the forum either directly or through links.

Took the FZS600 out for a gentle run down to Loomies Cafe near Winchester this arvo.
Cracking afternoon, brilliant sunshine with the slightest hint of a chill in the air.
Met another Fazer FZS600 rider there chatted about bikes and the common love of the FZS600, his was an X reg Boxeye in metalic blue, pristeen nick with just 9K on the clock. he purchased it from a dealer 6 months ago at a fair price considering the condition.
He has a slight blow from the collector box and is thinking about going down the S/Steel route to replace the pipes.
Anyway we were both leaving at the same time so we had a spirited blast along the A272 back to Petersfield, where we both headed onto the A3 heading towards London, that was the point he decided to give up and fell back so I rode on alone.
When I got home that was when I realised that my 3/4" chicken strips are now down to 1/2" Woo! Woo! it was a spirited ride.
Someone once said to me always ride within your comfort zone, but, I have realised that is not right, if you do that you never get any better, like an athlete, if you train within your comfort zone that is as good as you are going to get, the same applies to riding a motorcycle, push yourself but in a controlled manner.
Any way shut the Foc up tommyardin and get some pics of that blue Boxeye up here.

Would be immense but we all know that (given yamaha current design team) it wouldn't look like that because it hasn't got a hideous transformer headlight haha
