Made a few changes :

Fitted drag bars, diff mirrors and added a tool roll, removed the rear back rest and binned the rear no plate hanger as it was erm poorly.
Did the mod for changing spark plug aswell Wink

Side rails are on the way out next ... ive started something now.

Before

Today

Nothing to radical tbh and not everyones gonna be keen but nice to make it yer own i reckon.

Posts: 296 PA Gender:	Re: Just messing Reply #9 - 10/28/09 at 19:13:16 like it. really looks sharp I like how you moved the front turn signals up on the forks. definitely move the tool bag up and tie it above the lower triple tree. that way it won't rub on your pretty fender.

Thanks for all the comments Smiley

The front mudguard was already on when i got the bike i think its something like this :

http://www.mandp.co.uk/productsList.aspx?kw=Mudguards&tier4=Chrome+Front+Mudg...

As for the engine guard pegs etc

I brought those secondhand from a breakers saw them on ebay they are a one off and mount off the frame where it splits into 2 ill get some better pictures asap. They are strong and appear well made i reckon mefinks so i snapped em up.

And yeah side rails have to go next just gotta get some diff rear indicators now.
