The exhaust wrap and the whitewall rear look very cool. I prefer the picture where the front mudgaurd has been removed, why did you put it back on? Have you ridden in the rain without the mudgaurds.........bet that wouldn't be much fun.

Thanks, I was trying to go for an old school look. The front mudgaurd will come off and a small rear mudguard with smaller indicators.

My wife wants to pillion on the mayday run, so have to leave it with the standard seat till after :angry:

2-up it's a bit slower, but still has more than enough grunt to shift.

Like most bikes, you still have to plan your manoeuvres better, watch your braking etc etc...

Works best with a backrest, so you don't get pillion drag on your... err... Drag. Yeah.

Thanks, I got some mini black indicators to fit. I have actually sold the bike now :(

I got the white wall off ebay as Avon apparantly stopped doing them. £85

I am pretty sad to see it go but unfortunately needs must.

Very nice, where did you get that rear mudguard? It's exactly what I'm looking for.

Your best bet is on Ebay, just type in raw steel fender and there is a few on there with different widths. £45 excluding P&P
