Glue them on, rivet them one.... do a search as there is plenty on here about them.

Available here, oh.... and don't get the carbon look as it is very tacky!

Wouldn't attach it no bolts, they don't look bad IMO,



The other thing you should get is some silicone grease from Maplins (part no RE90X), and smear it around the plug cap.

Don't complain, you have a nekkid.
Just undo the horn, lower rad bolt, and loosen the two top rad bolts. Easy.

Rad should then swing forward a bit to make access a little easier.
