Just signed up, figured I'd introduce myself. Picked up my first Fazer 8 years ago - a 2003 FZS600 - my first bike! Did me well for several years, learnt a lot, had a the odd mishap, but always managed to fix it up and keep going. About 1.5 years ago I swapped to a FZ6 S2 2007 - mainly due to new ULEZ emissions regs in London. Another great bike, and again a solid commuter for London and still lots of fun on the twisties out of town at weekends.
Not modded the FZ6 much, just heated grips, Givi rack and a super loud air horn hidden at front. Got a new DID chain to fit and need some fresh tyres - just finished off some Road 5s, considering some Metz M9RR next as I fancy something slightly stickier and I really liked the M7RR's on my old FZS600. Really like to improve the suspension, but it's a big outlay for an old bike. Been quoted £1k for a Nitron shock with external preload, front fork service/refresh and professional setup. Quite a bit for a bike only worth £2-2.5k...
I also write a blog: Beginner Biker Adventures (link in profile) with some more stuff about my Fazer's, if you're interested.
