    Hi Sam, the bike is coming along very nicely, but imo you need a pair of brown handlebar grips now.

    Thank you, to be honest I thought the same when I saw it but it's actually quite nice to sit on with plenty of padding

    Thank you, there's more to come! I've got a little list still to purchase :). And so your aware reggie, if you want to change your grips you'll need a tri star tool which I had to go out and buy, not your common fittings

    Supposedly this coming Wednesday at my 500 mile service I'm getting my heated grips fitted but they said that a fortnight ago when the service was originally booked in. This is now attempt number two so hopefully the parts are in this time. I'm dying to get back out on the bike..... it's been locked up in the shed for too long now :(

    I do, triumph do a nice range aswell, I just can't decide which I like and wether to go for bar end mirrors or normal. It may be in my head but I think the bar end mirrors will make the bike wider??

    The better quality ones should fold in. I had Halcyon on my Bonnie.

    A little bit of bracket modification to be able to bring the reg light right up to the reg plate so it sits square, another job done :) image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

    image.jpeg Before I chopped the bracket, it's brings the reg light about 4 inches up so its not flapping about in the wind!
