Just joined. My first love is my XJR1300 (1999) which I bought as a bit of a shed about 4 years ago. I stripped it right down and restored it to original condition. I like standard!!! She is sitting with 57k on the clock now but still runs lovely and I can not bring myself to move it on. Its probably looking like a keeper.

Just bought a FZS600 Fazer W reg but looks like a year 2000 model and its an import. Its been sitting unloved and unused outside for a couple of year after it shed its chain. Collecting bits and pieces together at the moment to get it on the road. Intention was to use it as a hack or rat during winter and general usage and save the XJR for sunny days!!

Will be looking for advice and probably some parts for it soon.

Fazer Project and my XJR below

Hi Stewart and a very big welcome to the forum due to being a fantastic intro.

Forgive my ignorance but do I take it that picture 3 is the end result of pics 1&2.

That is the worst Intro I"v ever heard,,,,,, ... .,,,,,           Howdee  Ferg ,  yeh  its Me,    your work mate from 30 years ago,,

Mike, " that pic 1& 2  are a FAZER 600 ,, his new project , but the XJ was same state,,

Sorry Blacky, I know 1&2 are faired and 3 is naked but I kept switching between them all but there is a lot of characteristics the same so I presumed 3 was the finished project.

Also I always thought rightly or wrongly that there isn't a lot of difference between a fazer and a divvy.

Mike. Sorry for confusing you. The first two are the Fazer 600 and the last one is my XJR1300. Not sure I'm going to go the whole hog on the Fazer to be honest.

Just need something to run about on during winter.

Thought I saw you floating about on here. Recognised the patter!! The XJR was bad but not quite as bad as the Fazer. At least the XJR was running when I got it.

Its not an XJ (Divvy) its an XJR. Not a lot of similarity Mike TBH. Just the Yamaha badge!!
