Wezdavo, how much were those indicators and are they a straight forward replacement? Cheers
Straight forward mate, you will need some indicator blanking plates too...

and where did you get exhaust hanger please. Nice !!!
That's a diy job mate, I had some 5mm aluminium plate lying around, cut the holes with hole saws...
Believe it or not I polished it first to a mirror shine but it looked odd on the bike so I roughed it back up and painted it :rolleyes

blacks the way to go I made something similar and polished it - it looked shite so I will have to get the paint out,

Haha! It's looking the worse for wear after a week commuting in the rain now,
But there is something deeply medicinal comes from spending 3 hours cleaning a bike ;-)

Au contraire mon ami, I NEED something deeply medicinal after 3 hours cleaning the bike :'(
Quite happy doing it, just not happy doing it weekly!
Can't wait till the better weather, at least I'll get a month out of a good clean then :-)
Seriously considering slowly dismantling it bit by bit each day off I get then deep cleaning the components before refitting with stainless fixings, serious dough involved in posh bolts though
I've personally come to the conclusion that mine's never going to be that clean again, despite not using it much during the winter. But if I can keep it at a level where it looks good before close inspection, and corrosion is kept at bay, I guess I'm happy enough with that. Wouldn't want to have to remove the header pipes right now though! :lol
Yeah, I've got to make a serious commitment to keep it really clean, but I don't want it to turn into a sunny weekend queen, it's a daily rider and like you if I can just stay on top of it I'll be really happy.
Chrome or stainless headers would be a bonus though!

Hmmm, only let down by the unpolished jubilee clips on the radiator pipe!!!
Bah! And just noticed that the two hose clips on the small diameter hose from the bottom of the radiator aren't level with each other, will have to sort that ;-)

Collect it Saturday, so my maiden voyage will be from derby to Kent!
i messaged the former owner on ebay to see if he would sell the givi and rack separately - nice looking example

I got my givi rack and plate from eBay Italy, think it was around £90 all in, took 3 or 4 days to arrive
