Mk1 Fazer mods

[Tbag]

As im sticking with this bike for a while, I've decided to do it up a bit.

Took off the 'orrible front fairing and replaced with a round lamp.
Looks good so far, Could probably do with shortening the arms.

Then, my dad came up with this speedo, He got it in a box of bits for a Husky a few years ago, So He's going to have a bash at wiring up all the compatible features tonight.

Should be fun.

Best of all, I won these on ebay a few days ago!
Bought the wheel,discs and fender too.

'98 R1

Even more, Will be getting a thunderace rear wheel soon, So i can put a 180 on the back.

Cheers,
Tom

Poor Fazer, it's like you're trying to make it into a bandit... get the fairing back on, it misses it, I would say I can see it's sad face, but you took its face off

Was the fairing on your one particularly bad/different to normal for some reason? Before pics? I. Just. Don't. Get. It.

Nothing particularly wrong with the fairing. It didn't have to come off, just never liked the look, and those bloody tiny lights, Even with the second one hooked up. They are terrible.

I would have put the face-lift foxeye fairing on, if i could find all the bits at a good price. Doing this is cheaper and im my eyes, and looks a lot better.

Looks so so horrible without the fairing, a friend of mine has an infaired fazer, just looks wrong and badly done, the headlight is too far out, the wrong height and the speedo housing just looks like it's missing a piece.

Looks like i'm getting kicked from all sides here

The headlight is too high... It is temporary, until i swap the forks.
The bracket for the speedo, In the pic, it is just placed on. Can't mount/modify the bracket until i get the new forks and yokes.
And i did say that it is sticking too far out and the brackets need trimming.

Lights were shit, could have just bought HID kit...

Agree, looks wank now

[Moxey]

I like it, Mk 1 Fazers look natural without the fairing to me, definitely think it would be better with shortened headlight bracket arms.

Reminds me a bit of this, https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=242490 if you were looking for ideas.

circle headlight doesn't go with the fazer's square tank

CHR15 put a square headlight on his fazer and that looked good.

Is that a bandit with a fazer back end? Or are you just fucking it up for fun? I'm sure I read your doing it up but all I'm seeing is you sticking crap off ebay/other bikes onto it?

Might sound harsh but its a genuine question.

Do yourself a favour, lower that headlight at least if you aren't going to source new brackets.

Get some like mine, black ones off ebay, measure your forks though (width of them , mine are like 47mm I think)

Then add a renthal barbad and other bits and pieces. I'd prolly spray the bars black too.

Thanks.

The Headlight has been lowered. The brackets will be shortened too. Once i mount the speedo.

[mysterious_rider]

Use the surplus metal from the light bracket to extend the speedo brackets under the clamp bottom bolts. To mount my speedo I had a bracket with a 90 deg bend in the top, and a hole at the bottom, I bolted it to the actual bolt on the headlight bracket next to the fork.

Simples. Does that speedo have everything? Mine lacks a rev counter but meh. Not too fussed.

If i wanted a bandit, I would have gotten a bandit. I like the look of these with Single lights.

Iv'e just fitted shorter dog-bones to add to the appearance. They were only -25mm so they havent done much, Can feel it on the bike though.

And yes, Before anybody wants to point out that the light is too far in front. Once i have fit the clocks, then i will adjust it.

[P.addy]

Should have kept the Super Four... this is basically turning into an ugly version of one

[Drake]

y'see its all wrong, you would be much better getting its mechanically sounds and the suspension set up.

if you didnt like the look of it why did you even buy it?
this is done right
