ha ha ya a little , have changed regulator/rectifier already and getting a replacement stator tomorro morning and also a "new" exhaust cos the micron can seal is broken/worn
Welcome to the forum man, Where bouts are you?
Nice different bike, I reckon the fairing would look better on her if it was closer to the fairing. Only problem w/that is the rad being mounted up there. What are your plans for her?
Oh & if you need any work on your exhaust & your round Dublin, theres a Lad, Gizmo out in City West that does some great work w/stainless http://www.gizmoexhausts.com/
out of curiosity, will the nosecone sit tighter in to the bike if the rad wasn't in there? Be interested to see how it's mounted if you can stick some more pics up please.....
welcome to the forum alex
i admire any thing thats a little bit different from the norm, imho opinion i'd move the rad to the front of the engine and that would help the front fairing sit in a more natural position......
I agree not everyone has the same taste which is a good job. I quite like the Fazer nose fairing, IMHO it fits in with the flat bar conversion. I can see why the fairing sits further forward to accommodate the radiator, and yes it probably would look better closer to the handle bars, but then you would be back with the radiators in their original side positions.
