Nice job fella, looks very tidy, the clip ons look a bit radical - my heart says yes but my back says no f#ckin way ;-)

Very straight forward, there are plenty of posts and probably a YouTube guide somewhere as well.

The back end is not 100%, needs tidying up and frame needs to be repainted but that can all wait until the weather turns.

One thing I have now found is the clip ons below the yoke are too much unless the frame was adjusted to compensate. Body weight is tipped too far forward and gets unpleasant after 30 mins.

rearsets help but your neck will still hurt on long journeys at legal speeds

I know the (aching) feeling. My clipons are now raised (you can see in the pic). So I still have the bar width, and I am still leaning forwards, just not enough to screw up my old back! Yeah its a bit half assed but what can you do. It works for me.
