A while ago, I put a WANTED ad in the, er, wanted section for some Headlight brackets, once again, I thank Dave20046 and 2000Curvy for their help in finding some.

This is why I wanted them, but I wanted to keep my originals incase I messed them up....

What do you think?

Unfortunately due to my fecked back, I can't even get the bike out the garage at the moment for a better photo, but you get the idea.....

I also bought a Suzuki Carbon front mudguard, fitted that, but unsure if it goes with the rest of the bike.....

Anyway, your thoughts and comments are welcome, Negative and Positive alike.....Much love.

What did you do? Just add the carbon bit?

Speedy · 11-06-10, 03:21 PM

Well, that and the blackness as apposed to the silverness.

DarrenSV650S · 11-06-10, 03:25 PM

Ahh. Yeh looks cool

Smoked indi's too?

Don't see the point of the carbon bits in the headlight mounts. Carbon is used to make stuff lighter, if you just stuck it on it makes it heavier. Bit chavvy.
Headlight mounts being black looks good, match it to black yokes and fork sliders.

I was thinking bout fork sliders, but, ONE DAY, I may put some Black USD GSXR stuff on.
I did some "sketches" with paint to see what it looks like with the black sliders on the RWU forks.....wasn't totally convinced.

Carbon, yeah, not to everyones taste, but blocks the hole and just a subtle bit of personalisation.

Black yokes are next, when I change my fork springs.

I like the black brackets and dark indicators, even the screen I quite like even though I dont like the one on my bike with the single headlight.
But, like Mr Yorkie I don`t like the fake carbon stuff on the brackets and definately don`t like the mudguard, far too chavtastical for my liking.

Everyones different tho

Speedy · 11-06-10, 05:32 PM

No,no, I HATE fake carbon.

This is REAL carbon.

Yeah, was just looking at the mudguard, I really am unsure of it....have to make my final decision when the bike is out properly.

Personally I would keep the carbon mudguard but spray it black.

I like it.
I do have a thing about black headlight rim.
Ever thouht of it?
I'm considering the black brackets (as rim is already black, of course)
