Just done a couple of extra mods, here they are....



Oberon bar end mirrors, needed to mod the Kuryakin iso grips to make them fit.





Below is a finisher ive knocked up, useing a cheapo tax disc holder and some angle bracket for the fuse box and ignition switch.

the speedo is a koso from digital speedos uk.its a digi readout for milage with an analog dial for speed(easier to see in bright sunlight)the indicators are by oberon and i fitted by modding a couple of old hydraulic 90 degree compression elbows.the intiminators really have transformed the fairly useless front forks into a worthwile front end and thethruxton preload adjusters are the icing on the cake.the twin front brake lines i find make brake bleedig a lot easier.Horse.

Ok the pics are as follows,my cut and shaped final drive cover (not the nicest job cutting cast ally wiv me disc cutter)but its cost me nowt bar 3/4 hour so I reckon thats not a bad mod.Next pic shows blacked out wheels...the winter salt had taken its toll+I only clean her just before winter +then in the spring...if I'm feeling crazy maybe another twice thru the summer!next pic is sprocket cover,new chain(covered in chainsaw bar oil..its dirt cheap and works well against salt.the next 2 are trying a pair of bars out of the shed..Icant make me mind up and current riding position.Iwould like to go back to the apes of my youth but I don't know if my shoulers can stand em these days and its expensive if it do'nt work, Horse

Darn good looking Speedy. Who makes those handlebar risers and how high are they?


Well I don't sing karaoke and I don't do meth, so...

the risers are 10" harley aftermarkets daubed black by yours truly...I find a paint brush+tin of paint far cheaper and more versatile than rattle cans.Horse.

Hey Horse, maybe I'm not thinking right but what is that thing you called a finisher, I think, for? The tube looking thing by the fuse box.

1,in answer to MercKing the tube is actually UK road tax disc holder mounted on a small bracket to try and tidy up the edge of the fuse box cover from wher I had moved my battery to under the seat. 2,chuckyj Ihad the exhast made locally(Lincolnshire UK) to my specs and fortunatley it seems to work well ,loud enough for cars to know Im there plus no more rust coz its stainless...bonus even less cleaning.
