Shov, the Fatbars need different bar ends to the stock bars - I use R&G but I assume Woodcraft or similar will be fine. I had a look at a UK stockist and they do a black 672 as well as the "Tanium" - you've got me thinking about swapping the bars on my new factory and it hasn't left Italy yet!

I am sure if you do a bit of a search you can get them or similar in most colours.
 
I wanted to go with bar-end mirrors anyway, so getting the new bar wouldn't be a big deal. I like that flatter look on the Tuoldo of nobs. Thinking it would look pretty sweet on Andiamo.
 
Tell you what was fookin bizarre. When I did the track day I took the mirrors off and it looked like my hands were only about 6 inches apart. :dunno:dunno:dunno
 
I hear ya brother!! But wasn't that kool to undo eight nuts and bolts and have the turn signals, mirrors, and license plate in hand? And the Tuono looking lean and ready for some fast running??!! One of the reasons that I want to go with bar end mirrors is that she looked so ******* tough without the big bug eye mirrors on a stalk...
 
Ey up Shvl, how did you come across your T, with them being rare over there. How did it come about ?
 
'Twas a small shop that also carried Hyosung located on the local kool strip. I'd been an Aprilia fan for a long time (or at least as long as the Mille has been around) and had a jar full of change that was "The Aprilia Fund". After crashing into a deer (see avatar) my arm wasn't that happy with the SuperSport riding pos. I sat on a Tuono just for grins and it just grew on me. They had a red and a black, I wanted a blue... But the matte black grew on me. 17K km in the first season (starting in June and ending end of Sept as I busted my hand...), three new rear hoops and a completely smitten rider. The rest, as they say, is history.

I've no idea what a sticka is either. I know what a window licker is tho'. Last may when our group did the Scotland run we had T shirts made with "Window Lickers Tour 2009" on plus the Rolling stones logo on - we got a few glances

Sorry guys, I was in Vegas for a few days.

I guess there are not too many Aussies here??
I was a Sticka in Australia. The koala's climb up on the Sydney harbour bridge and it was my job to get them down. I used to knock them off with a stick, hence the name "Sticka". Not much need for stickas here in Cali. No koala's...

I think he's fulla ****. I've seen the Sydney Harbour Bridge up close and personal. Nary a koala... and in this day and age, whacking cute lil fuzzy animals with a stick is politically incorrect. C'mon, lad, give us the real reason!!!
