Just thought I might share some pics of the progress so far. There are minor things to do but I don't know if I can be bothered doing them considering I am wanting to trade to a Buell at the end of the year.

Huge thumbsup to Azarel (Tom) for the work with the headlight, and thanks also goes out to Potato (From PSB) who painted the headlight surround.

Before you say anything, I know it would look better being closer to the forks but that would involve too much fkn around on my behalf. Making a new bracket for the headlight to mount to the forks, getting new instrument cluster etc etc etc [:p]

Happy with outcome, got something different, and I got something I can ride now! w00t

The lights required abit of screwing around to get the angle right but im glad Azrael put the adjuster bolts through as it help ALOT. The lights are very bright and i have the just right for me. Which means they piss all the drivers off coming the other way because the low beam looks like the high beam :)

Always a work in progress, im still saving as i still have my heart set on a Buell XB12 Lightning with a remus system (I think)... gotta go offshore some more to save up tha dough.

I like that headlight I've seen afew of them now. I reckon it needs to go further back towards the forks, might have to chuck the guages though.

You're right iceman, but it was a cheapo repair jobby after i had a brainfade one day.
I would love to get a tiny dash and mount the lights on the fork brackets i purchased, but it would require time and money. Which i would prefer to spend on the next bike.

Im honestly pretty happy with the way it turned out, and am just happy to be back on 2-wheels again, even if work decided to send me to fkn egypt for a month so its another month of no bike.

When's the next ride ?!
