oh yes e-bay is but a mans answer to shopping...........look, find, click, ad to basket, buy it now....sit back open a beer after a stressful bit of shopping..... :laugh: (thumbs)

I did some looking for some new levers and came up with this for the clutch

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171465674280? ... Tags=bu=bu

Wrote to the dealer who stated the lever length is 168mm against the stock which is 185mm. You need 170mm or less to fit inside these guards. When i removed the ball end and leaving a bit of shape to the lever end it came out at 170mm and fits fine so the above will also work and retain the ball end............it has the switch as well and you can use the stock bar mount with the mirror hole to fit onto the the one above....just didn't warrant £27 at the moment so went with the trimming of existing lever which was free

I found it easier just to leave the handlebar bolt/bar insert sticking out slightly. Not really noticeable and it saves cutting or changing levers (the less work I have to do the better) :whistle:

Cut off the stand about 2.5 inches, but I dropped the height of the bike by about 1.5 inches

Aliexpress is usually cheaper for such stuff if you don't mind waiting a couple of weeks for delivery

The side stand painted and fitted, just right height for the lean of the bike,

The cheap led spots work a treat, plenty bright that's with out the main light on as well, I also put a white led in the small centre light so when I put the hid lights on they all look the same.

Looking good, like the look of the spots, where did they come from, looks like they are fitted to the crash bars from wk ?....... interesting you say your looking for an led for the tail light, mine already has an led in it.

Is the ride affected by lowering, i think you said you turned the rear shock spring nuts out to accomplish this

With dropping the bike height was cool no problems as I will spend a lot of time in the sand in morocco it made sense to do that,
Makes the bike site up.
