Looks fantastic Sean! But then I always preferred a naked curvy! Looking forward to seeing it at the next rideout!

The bar end mirrors are odd at first. Everything is closer than it looks!

That looks amazing. Did you try it with Renthal-type bars or decide to go with the clip-ons from the start?

Even with a respray you got it cheaper than I paid new
Whats good is that if you wanna go chav you can fit bulbs in the grills...or pay a fortune if you buy one from them already done. You got a winner there...glad you sorted the brackets
