10 out of 10 for going for the classic round light. Looks brilliant.

Looks fantastic and I'm glad the mods you made worked especially the front end. Not bad for someone who had never spannered before.:cool:

I reckon now it just needs a paint job. Something in black so it doesn't look quite so much like a curvy and might get people guessing.

Very nice! I'll say the two things I always say about nakeds- the headlight's too high and the master cylinder res is too visible. But they always are ;) Wee brembo clutch m/c reservoir and dropping the headlight, oh... 1 inch, 2 inches? Pull it back in a wee bit. At the risk of sounding like a VW freak, it's all about stance :) Bit more rear end height would help that too.

Nice mirrors :) VERY nice bellypan. I likes it.

Sean might have the chance change things around after the next rideout:confused:

Good work Sean mate..........I too like the belly pan...more details please.

The bellypan is Roca, same as Pete and Lissa's and dizzyblonde. Think it was 80 quid off eBay and then 50 to get it sprayed. Had to make spacers, although the bloke said it had the full fitting kit :-(

Headlight can't go any lower, though I don't think it looks too bad. There are two different sized brackets so the top bracket sits on top of where it tapers in. Not much I can do about the MC reservoir :-(

Should be ok where it is, nice job all round by the way.
