Excellent answer. As I feared. Is either hot grips on, or fog lights. Thank u so much for your reply, I think as as you said the possible option is to install led light..

Hi everyone, some time ago I installed some auxiliary fog lights on the bike, with all the necessary relay and wiring looms everything connected to the battery, I do have when I have the fog lights on and the oxford hotgrips on at the same time, as the hotgrips switch have a small computer that...

I am glad u like the story. As I said before the potential of the Fazer is really surprising, there is so much available space to be used, and the bags hold on very well, I did a speed test on the German Autobahn the top speed was 195KM/h the "aereodinamics" did not allow more than that. This...

Nope! Long are gone them times, when, bought the bike new i use to watch with amusement how spotless it was. Dropped accidentaly the bike's keys and chipped the tank, scratched the swingarm with a paddock stand, paint is sanded off on the pillion handles.

Just finishing using the MAXXIS 6029 on the bike, for the price (150£, 280$ fully fitted) the tyres are pretty damn good, the rear lasted 6500miles (10500k) with two motorway trip 4000miles, and the front still running with more than 2 mm left. I was a bit sceptical at the start but then got...

Thanks guys, it think i'll give the Maxxis a go, at least for this summer.

HI, does anybody tried The Avon storm or the Maxxis touring 6029, there is price difference of 60£ betweend them, the Maxxis being the cheapest. Looking for decent mileage 7000-8000, with a decent grip, at least for the summer months and i am not sure if the Maxxis are 60£ less of "tyres" or...
