Im upto 1600 miles on my new machine commuting in and out of london, got it before the cold months closed in so i've got some good road experience before the summer fun months......although i have a few questions if any one can answer this little quiz, there's prizes of course!!

1) How many miles do you think i'd get on the final trip/ reserve fuel allowance?

2) Is there an easy fix for the bad steering lock key position/ conflicting with the clutch cable?

3) Anyone know of a good seat replacement for the longer journeys?? Gel filled maybe?

4) The best accessory shop for us is......?

5) A decent undertray (painted)?

6) Colour matched rear Hugger?

7) Any other little hints/tricks/ advice you guys know that could make my life better?

Many thanks guys in advance!!!!

Hiya,

First of all what you doing skiving off to Maccy D's on a Monday when the rest of us are at work <_<;)

Re the questions, you'll be safe for 20 miles on a fazer, I get that out of my R6 once the light and countdown marker come on.

Sorry, cant help with the steering bit, except try an r6 then you'll think the Fazer turns on sixpence! :lol:

For accessories, ie fancy bike bits, Powerbronze do some loverly stuff.

Busters also do huggers, undertrays etc, if you order from them, get it all at once as I have found stuff comes in and out of stock.

Don't use one myself (yet!) but have heard only good things about gel seats, have a scan through the touring sections, bound to be some folks on there with customised seats.

One other tip, if you haven't already, get your suspension set up by a specialist, makes a big difference in comfort and handling, costs £80 - £90 down here (cheaper oop north I believe :rolleyes: )

Where abouts are you based and which part of London do you commute to ?
