Lee76 Posted September 10, 2024 Posted September 10, 2024 Hello. I have recently bought a Fazer from an old shed, that I come across. Although it is mostly intact, it has had some attempts at restoring it, and has a fair few miscellaneous parts missing, that i am coming across when reassembling it. I have found Fowlers Motorcycle Parts, in Bristol, that i thoroughly recommend, but just thought that i wouud also join this site. I look forward to interesting chats. 1 Quote
Old-codger Posted September 10, 2024 Posted September 10, 2024 Hi Lee welcome to the forum, there are quite a few on here that have had Fazers so there should be plenty of advice. Looking forward to the restoration how about photos to follow the progress. Quote
manxie49 Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 Welcome to the group @Lee76 and good luck with the shed find. I just love a shed find, nothing like a good fixer upper to work on over the winter months .... 1 Quote

AstronautNinja Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 Granted not a bike but I'm pretty sure this is an Audi Quattro rotting away 1 Quote

Lee76 Posted September 11, 2024 Author Posted September 11, 2024 Sorry, I'm not sure if I posted that screen shot in the correct place, but I just wanted to share with all of you other Yamaha like minded, the appreciation that I have for Fowlers Motorcycle Parts in Bristol. Hopefully I did send in the correct form 1 Quote

Definitely worth a read 1 Quote

Lee76 Posted September 13, 2024 Author Posted September 13, 2024 Hi all. Can someone enlighten me here. I have just replaced the fork seals. As I've come to fit it back together, the nearside, at the top yoke, is sitting 8mm higher than the offside. Obviously I can lose this by pushing it down and clamping them up, but I can't help feeling that this is in someway upsetting the balance. Am I right? Quote
RideWithStyles Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 Both Fork caps height from the yoke much match. Quote
