My Beast, FZR400 Genesis 1WG SF

Post by tickledawson »

After nearly two years I have bought, stripped, serviced, resprayed & rebuilt her... Last week I done my theory, jumped into MOD 1 and booked MOD 2. Today I passed Mod 2!!! :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Now Im looking for cheap insurance...
(I know this is the pics section but thought i'd put it in with it... as I only just thought of it)
Being a 22 year old male, in north london its not too cheap!!! :(
I have an alarm and imobiliser... (But its not insurance approved so they dont care)
I also have a Tracker on it... But again, not approved so they dont care!!!
so cheapest iv found so far is £480... (TP) £510 (TP, but covered on any bike- with valid licence) £1600 (TPFT) £2200 (FC)
Iv tried all the major ones, compare the market arnt willing to insure me, and morethan seem to beet the price so far...


Anyway, have a butchers and give me some feedback please :) :whistle :tks:

Nice job! Really like some of the details not sure if they just happened or you were going for a "look". The rear wheel blue on white strip against the chrome. Is that the same pattern on the front? How did you get that look? Nice clean fighter that doesn't look like anything else. I would add a handle bar pad to finish it off.

Yup same pattern front and back, but it does look slightly f=different on each wheel as the lip is bigger on the back :(
but yes. was going for a 'look' and I wanted to stand out... but after riding it for a few months its starting to get frustrating have convos EVERYDAY with new people... and its usually the same questions by people with no idea on bikes (Just that it looks/sounds good)

Tried looking for one a few weeks back but I cant actually find one the right width, (Mine arnt rentals) the renthal pads are too long and I cant find any others
