Quite a bike! Where did you source your bar end mirrors? (I'm not above copying a good idea.)

Bar end mirrors are from Joker Machine. I like that the mirror is fully concealed inside the metal housing. THey are very well made.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HARLEY-CONCEALED-HANDLEBARS-BAR-END-MIRRORS-GL...

check the link above which will take you to the ebay auction for the mirrors that I bought. I had to modify them somewhat. The diameter was too large for the RYCA bars, so I ground down a mm or so using my belt sander. It doesn't have to be perfect, nor does it have to look good. It just needs to be a little smaller diameter to fit inside.

You could also check Joker Machine website for the new, current version of that bar end that will fit without mods. Its about 2.5 times more expensive though.

Here is a link to Joker Machine

bike is essentially done. Just need to zip tie some wires. I have not started it yet- and I really hope it starts (and doesn't leak).
Got the side covers from the painter today. I am still undecided if I want some emblems on it. I have toyed with ordering some vintage suzuki tank emblems, or possibly putting the newer "S" decal on the tank. Might leave the tank alone and simply put a CS-1 in black letters on the side covers. Not exactly sure yet. Part of me thinks the side covers are way too large and too plain to leave alone so I may go with some CS-1 emblems on there.
Thanks for all the advice, tips, etc from everyone on this board during this build. There are so many helpful and knowledgeable people here.

Yeah, they're kind of large. I'm usually an anti-logo guy, but I'm considering the Ryca logo, but maybe smaller.

thought about the RYCA logo too but probably will do a CS-1 or 650 logo instead. Might end up leaving it alone too.

I like the Suzuki logo on the front. But it looks like your license plate is way too close to the tire. I recently found my plate and frame bent from contact and mine appears higher than yours.

I might try that. Just not sure it will be visible. So many things on this bike are probably not legal that I want to try and keep "the man" from stopping me and citing me.
