Thanks mate.
I like that fender and belly pan. Would you mind telling me manufacturer/supplier details. (maybe even cost) ?
Re tires. Pirreli Diabloes I presume ?
I think they will replace the Metz when they are worn out. (I can`t throw part worn ones away !)
Cheers. (And thanks for all your advice).

The belly pan is a genuine Yamaha one; a bit expensive, but IMHO the best looking one available.
The fender was purchased via http://www.aa16.co.uk/a16yamahafazer1000.htm

If you wanted to change the Metzlers sooner I would suggest sticking them up for sale on the Fazer website, but I doubt if anyone would have 'em :dunno:
The standard Pirelli Diablo's are the best all round tyre I've ever used & a rear should last up to 5/6k miles. The Diablo Corsa's are stickier but a rear won't last more than 3/4k miles :eek: The Super Corsa's are basically a road legal track tyre. They are the Pirelli equivalent to Metzler Rensports (which are superb :yo: ); I've used the Super Corsas on my track bike along with slicks, however a rear will last no more than 2/3k on the road :rolleyes:
I tried the new Mitchelin Pilot Sports the other day and was well impressed, so I might give them a try next time round.

750 miles and 666 miles for a rear thats not a lot. I would have expected 3-4k and 2-3k at least.
