Looks great lewis - that headlight assembly looks trick - If i can put in my 2 cents tho... i reckon you need to trim that front guard down a bit before you hit it with colour... Its looking a bit heavy right now. I'm glad to see a fighter with clip-ons for once as well!

Thanx man, the headlights i built from a set of narva driving lamps. Ill cut the front guard down a bit, im scared of cutting sh*t though cos a know ill wreck it :)
I had mx bars mounted but couldnt get my head around them

nah cutting down the guard is a piece of piss. Its white now so get a white board marker draw and rub out until you get the right shape you want then cut it close ish with a dremel or something like that. Grab a rough sanding dish and sand it down with an orbital until you get it perfect. Slow and easy is the trick
Cool as Lewis.Looks great.
Those lights any good in the dark though?

Lights are 100w narva, low beam is a spreader and high is a spot, they light my whole street up. I reckon they are better than stock
