I too much prefer the fluted tail light lens over the clear stock one. It diffuses light much better than seeing the individual diodes on the stock piece, and because of that I think it's more visible to cars behind you.
Does it have integrated signals? and if it does, do the fuzz harass you for it?

Done for the day... Rad guard just fitted. Just missing a few self tappers now but going to the local stainless supplier as the Kwak ones are just plated mild steel... Just the panels and light to fit...

paint the inner bit matte black. Saw it on a bike on instagram a while back and looked quite good. Cant find the picture anymore, but here's a quick photoshop.

A bit more.... Replaced all the plated screws with stainless and ordered some stainless washers so they'll have to come off at a later date...

Panels on and a loose test fit for the headlight... Cant fit it as I'm short an indicator. When I'm finished with work I'll get the brake fluid in...

Thanks very much sir. I hope its been entertaining. While its back together ill probably end up taking something apart again for whatever reason. The indicators arent going to turn up til early next week...along with the stainless washers (so the panels will be coming off again to switch those out). As i say just waiting to finish working then ill get the brakes done. Thatll be it then. Job done. Ill put another thread up when i start work on tuning the forks up to get the best feel....

Comfy,are you keeping the mirrors in that position,or are they just folded to keep out of the way in the garage?
Reason I ask is,I've been trying all sorts of ways to have my bar ends work,yet not add to the overall width of the bike.

Getting my replacement pipe fitter tomorrow,woo,hoo.. see I can get excited over a piece of new pipe.... I'm trying to get them positioned so they aren't wider than my bars,yet don't interfere with my hands. I can get one or the other,but not both together! Good news on the pipe man,let's hope it's a success.

Reason I ask is,I've been trying all sorts of ways to have my bar ends work,yet not add to the overall width of the bike. The right one folded a bit just where it's up against the wall but yes they kinda "go round" my hand and don't exceed the width of the bars...
