It's weird, but my bars always seem to fit into the unpainted grooves that run along the sides of rush hour traffic. :P  :sorry:

Don't get confused between my personality
and my attitude. My personality is who I am,
my attitude depends on who YOU are!

Thank you for your encouragement guys and gals.
I've managed to get 400 miles in over the last 3 days.
It's certainly different.
A few things, needs a more comfortable seat, bars need to come up and rear shock is as budget as expected and will be replaced with a nitron unit.
I can live with the forks for now but will be getting the full nitron upgrade (750gbp) next year unless I can fit some alternative, like r6 or r1 forks.
Anyone recommend a fazer owners group similar to this one?

Foc-u is very good Steve - not been on there for ages, but was a mine of information for my FZS1000  :good:

 

There was a very good 'Merkin site as well - but I'll have to trawl back a bit for that one .

 

Nog on CMC will be a good man to ask as well - he's had his Faz  for 3 years or so now
