You've done a damn fine job there. Are you going to add the white stripe to the front fender as well?

Also, what's the circular piece attached to the headlight assembly? Beam angle measurement tool?

Looking good, next the pipes need to be cut back, they look too long now you have cut the beer tray off.

That circular piece is their tax disc, or rego label, where in usa it gets put on your number plate.

This won't hurt much.... Trust me......

yeh tax disc. has to go somewhere.

i like the pipes as they are though. I think that's me all done mod wise.

I did change both levers to adjustables too which made it more ridable for me.

course all of this is just in time for winter and it to spend the next 3 months mainly in the garage.... hey ho  :(

Nice, clean job  [thumbsup]

(But yeah, you should chop those cans a bit shorter)
I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

UK tax disc - need a new one every 6 or 12 months depending on how much you can afford at the time.

Technically supposed to be displayed on the front left I beleive - sometimes stolen and some folk keep them under their seats for this reason. Strange requirement in an era of computers and all that to have to bolt a piece of paper onto your bike.
