Thought i better start a topic in here as i am always tinkering with the bike, changing bits etc.

Heres how i got the bike on the first day

and how it stands at the moment.

Removed the tea tray at the back, removed non-standard fairing, LED rear indicators fitted.
Fitted a k and n crankcase breather filter, has stopped the oil sight glass from getting moyoed up after a ride out.
Along with my favorite thing about the biek RoadRacing cans and Headers. (cheers Yorkie) these sound awsome!!!!

Looking very nice, some nice mirrors would be good.

06-11-2009, 03:58 PM

cheers people!!!! yeah thats the only thign i cant make my mind up on are the mirrors. i cant see a thing in them without moving my arms in, plus they look f-ugly.
Any ideas on mirrors anyone???

Looking good

Have to agree with giler though - loose the "air brakes". Some nicer mirrors would add the finishing touches. DPM do some very nice ones

hi looking very nice

even bar end mirrors will look cooler. I really think they would look better on a hornet. Rest of bike looks great.

i really like bar end mirrors but the only thing is i have the squeeze past my dads landrover when i get out the garage and on the drive, and it wont fit thought with bar-ends. there is only a inch either side of the back between the wall and the landrover.

i was thining of some lower and slimer mirrors..

future plans for the back are the get some parts powdercoated or painted, Rearsets, polish the swing arm, fit a seat cowl as well.

I have the DPM ones on my S2r and you cant see anything...I assumed the original ones were ok, obviously not...

LouSCannon · 06-11-2009, 05:42 PM

Blah blah · 06-11-2009, 10:08 PM

My Oberons are not wider than the bar ends, and I can see loads more than with the standard ones...I'll get some pics when it's not dark if you want

(all hail the M750!!

)

yeah mirrors are what bug me... I am used to bar ends but doing my IAM at the mo so must have Huge mirrors!!... used to tiny bar ends.. id like to find a pair of nice practical mirrors that don't cost the earth to be honest!!
