    New headlight and indicators arrived! I got a headlight and mounting bracket off a Ducati S2R for $100 as I was a bit over fork clamp style mount brackets.


    It was relatively painless to fit with the exception of needing to heat up and cave in some of the headlight bucket to fit around the key lock which in turn necessitated getting rid of the plastic H4 connector.


    Other than that it was just a couple of brackets and it fits quite neatly. It also has moulded brackets to hold the brake lines which is nice.














    I got a set of 'click n ride' indicators which are fantastic, heaps better than the chinese crap I normally use.


    Having fit the headlight and indicators, I took the bike for a test ride to the servo to fill the tank and tires.





    Unfortunately when I tried to start it again to ride home the battery was reading 6v


    I've yet to figure out whether it was the battery or the charging system, at the moment I'm too depressed about a $300 antigravity battery going down the drain.


    Ah well you win some you lose some


    On a less negative note the bike rode really nicely and sounded great

    Finally found a carbon seat cowl to match the rest of the bike, All I'm missing now is a carbon front fender

    If I had a dollar for every time I thought about you, I'd start thinking about you

    HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT opps caps lock ,
    have you thought about redoing the seat base to extend further forward to enclose the lower section of the fuel tank and frame
    to make it look more factory ??

    Thanks for the kind words gents

    Ideally I'd like to cover up the top subframe mounts a bit better, but it's more trouble than it's worth. I actually quite like being able to see all the way through under the tank.

    It's great, easy to wire up, easy to read, looks great and is pretty small for having an analogue tacho.
