thunderpantz Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 HI all, still relatively new to the whole 'biking scene' but just thought i'd share a few pictures of my current project Bought my Fazer soon after passing my test in september, and although it was in an 'okay' condition for a 13 year old bike, I felt like it was missing something and it didn't feel like mine. Here are some photos (apologies for the poor quality) of when I bought it:http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/edd_summers_101/KGrHqZHJ4FIVHBchoUBSI1g2NEg48_80_zpsf30b7f08.jpghttp://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/edd_summers_101/KGrHqVoEFIJZc5HEwBSI1gvQBbg48_80_zps59ab1181.jpgThe bike came with a newly fitted D.I.D Chain and sprocket, Givi Wing Rack, Givi top box, Oxford intelligent heated grips 9 months Tax and MOT and a little over 40k miles for the princely sum of £750! Got the bike back and one of the lads who works for me (ex motorbike instructor and mechanic) gave it the once over and the thumbs up on the engine. The paint work wasn't in a fantastic condition and it must have been dropped at some point as the headlight fairing was a mismatched colour but nothing that couldn't be sorted. So it seems I got myself a little bit of a bargain!So after talking to a friend, who powder coats for a living, he was saying he wants to get into spraying and wanted some little projects. He's refurbed alloys and sprayed various other bits and bobs. Being as the bike was just my toy I took all the fairing off, given them to him and said 'have fun'. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/edd_summers_101/IMG-20130918-WA0008_zps3844a925.jpghttp://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/edd_summers_101/IMG-20130921-WA0003_zps23b5fd86.jpghttp://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/edd_summers_101/IMG-20130918-WA0005_zps52e4774b.jpghttp://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/edd_summers_101/IMG-20130919-WA0002_zpsdc2867d3.jpghttp://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/edd_summers_101/IMG-20130922-WA0002_zps9eb3b7f5.jpghttp://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/edd_summers_101/IMG-20130920-WA0005_zps742405e8.jpghttp://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/edd_summers_101/IMG-20130920-WA0006_zpsfae4d14a.jpghttp://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/edd_summers_101/IMG-20130923-WA0004_zps74b75a55.jpghttp://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/edd_summers_101/IMG-20130924-WA0006_zps4bc1d413.jpghttp://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/edd_summers_101/IMG-20130924-WA0008_zps1ddd2ac4.jpghttp://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/edd_summers_101/IMG-20130925-WA0004_zps116fe4b4.jpgWhich then left me with this:http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/edd_summers_101/IMG-20131121-WA0006_zpse525399d.jpgThe bike is now tucked away for the next few weeks as I have a busy schedule.
