  1. That looks nice dude I had often wondered how good the CF front would look against the Red and have to say it looks really nice I like it. Kudos buddy. :D

    Cheers guys. Once the indicators are here I will put the other bits on and post up some pics of the bike.

    The bike has a body coloured rear hugger so I am wondering how this will look with the CF front mudguard and heatshield / arrow tip.
    Should I get a CF rear hugger???

    Well, I've got my indicators finally.
    They look very well made, should look ace on the bike.



    I'm also waiting on a bike lift today, once it's in I'll strip the fairings off and do a howto on fitting.

  4. Those indicators are awesome. Very classy and so much brighter than the standard.
    These are very tasty mods Matt.

    Looking good mate, go for the CF on the rear too, it'll fit right in! :)
     
  6. Bolt and spacer showing the large shoulder:

    And all fitted nice and snug:

    Could do with some of those spacers as I couldn't find any the right size for when I fitted track fairing, so had to bodge some.
    Any chance of a couple of dozen, obviously I'll pay you for them :)

    Ade, I can knock you some up. Are the fairing bolts the same as the mudguard bolts?

    Now I've just got to wait for a mate to finish work to help me drag the lift into the workshop!

    I didn't make the bolts, just the washers. I can't make Allen head bolts as the Allen recess has to be cold forged.
    All I could do is make them with a hex head, which wouldn't really work well with fairings.

    Not a bad guess. Wish I could have one but sharing next doors garage means I can't.
     
  17. I have one of those on my shopping list, just need to work out which one then clear the garage so I can fit it in.

    I choose the CML3 Clarke from machinemart, I looked at others in the price bracket but the clamp for the front wheel looks a lot sturdier on the Clarke than the others.
     
  19. Good to meet up today bud for a natter and a brew and thanks for the washers.

    Now debating if I can justify splashing out on bike lift, great bit of kit :)
