Finally got the front indicators moved from the handlebars. They now sit on a bar mounted by the bolt holding the horn. Its surprisingly solid as its held tight against the frame.    They stick out just past the forks so are quite prominant.  Should be able to see the mounting on this one.  The indicators are Highway Hawk bar ends  What do you think, I think the mount should be repainted in a slightly matt finish to match the lights but thats something I can do later. Those eagle eyed amongst you may notice that I've also modified the Speedo mount, as suggested on a previous post its lower and nearer to the yoke. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers Chris

Rear is work in progress. Cant decide whether to put matching ones in the original holes or straight into the fender as I hope to bob it when the warranty runs out.

Not sure about the type, it was from a small stall at the Bulldog. Fits really securely and looks Ok. Got to remember those exhausts get bl**dy hot.
I'll measure it when it gets above freezing outside.

I knew someone would prefer them in chrome. Horses for courses and all that.
Only a very small weld involved so the bar would chrome up nicely and look good.

And I'm sure you knew Ray would say that!!!
They look good as they are, understated but do the job.

I did Gina, Theres too much chrome on it as it is, Much to Rays disgust and others I'm quite keen for the chrome to tarnish so that I can black it out. It would be no good if we all liked the same thing would it. Cheers Chris

That suits the speedmaster well.
Tool roll sits well down there as well. Do you have a bracket hidden in there to secure it?
The tool rool I have hangs to low when I tried it there so I have it up below the headlight as normal. but it sure look good on yours down there.

Thanks,
didn't need a bracket, fixes onto the frame just above the footrest hanger. I remember it being really tight but it ain't going to move now its on. With all the comments I think I got a bargain with the bag. I'm sure I only paid £20 for it and its pretty thick and solid. A bit like myself.
