You can get those spacers that make them look a little better fit, but fitting such thin stalks on the fazer just dosent work for me. even more so with the rears still OE.

other than that, pretty nice looking bike.

i had a couple of different sets of winkers to try, flush oval car type, flush bubble'd (which were my personal faves, but being chinese separated when i tightened them up) or those for £5 bnib. just need to source another set to finish off.
and yes, the bobbin mount IS rusty..........and bent.
