very nice work,wish i had the cash to get two for my rd 400,but alas ,skint again,..
 
Now there's another reason I miss the 80's and early 90's EVERYBODY messed with theyre bikes to a huge degree, few people seem to play these days, and no more 2 strokes either (well very few anyway)
 
Wow thats some fine wielding!
I built a street fighter once, werent too pretty. But you wouldnt say it to its face!!
 
There are several styles of bar-end mirrors that might look good on there and not stick out so much and ruin the lines ?

I am sure I have even seen ones that wrap back around the hands a bit.

Some nice ones in here too - http://www.vcustoms.co.uk/motorcycleproducts_rizoma-mirrors_272_601.html

You seen the price of them :eek: cheapest are £90.00 each. I fitted a pair of OEM bar end mirrors off a Triumph speed triple to my hybrid & they are really good quality but I don't think they would suit the ape so I went for a pair of RS125 mirrors in the end which are about two inches longer than standard RSV ones, I can see behind now :thumbup
 
Hey Nick, are those pipes cut down SP Titanium pipes or the arrow ones?
 
Ah yep, thought so. I've got a set of shutguns on my bike but they're the SP Titanium cans. I think they look a bit long, but I can't help but feel it is a bit of a shame to go cutting them up. Might try to find a cheap set of second hand arrows somewhere... Thanks Nick!
 
I felt the same way but they look dated being that long, cut em down you won't regret it :devious
