I fitted a couple of extra LED projector lights to the crash bars today. They were only £12 inc postage. I won't know how good they are until I ride in the dark but they look pretty good so far. They come with an independent switch so I can turn them off.
One thing I don't like (and it wasn't mentioned in the advert) is that every third time you switch them on they flash like a strobe, so you have to switch them off and back on again for a steady light. It just makes me wonder why? What ever possessed the manufacturer to put a strobe into a set of lights intended for a vehicle?

I fitted a pair of stainless steel radiator side guards which replace the plastic OE ones. I only fitted them because they came with a job lot of spares that I bought from the previous owner. Seemed daft to leave them in the box unused.

After removing the standard mirrors I was left wondering how to cover the bolt holes in the fairing. I was going to buy some covers but they all looked a bit crap and they are darned expensive for what they are. So I bunged in four little LED's which flash with the indicators. I don't know if they shine up very well in daylight but they do at night - I had bought the LED's to use as indicator repeaters because the one in the dash shines green and is not in my line of sight while riding, I hate leaving my indicator on for countless miles and I found this was happening. I've mounted a couple of LED's in the fairing near the screen and they are very noticeable. A big improvement for about £1
