I have changed the back of my bike, with a tail tidy, new raised seat, hi - level carbon exhaust, small number plate, and soon a chrome chain guard. It looks sweet in my opinion but i am still to find a convincing change to make to the front of the bike that really takes my fancy. Any ideas??

If you're considering twin headlights just make sure they are decent ones, else don't go out in the dark because some of them are crap.
The large Bates are ideal or if you've got £250 Shocked these are the bollox https://www.oem-uk.com/acatalog/Billet_Lights.html

I got my seat from PP Seat, something like that anyway, it was a Birthday present from my parents, we had to send the old one off and they re-covered it, it cost 140, which seems a lot but i love it!

Any one who can work wonders with photoshop fancy giving the wheels a paint, much appreciated!

Jon

Nice bike, I have the same bike (without the add ons).
I love the seat
I suggest, gold for the wheels.
Belly pan and hugger.
Twin headlights maybe and the gold bolts for the engine, and the little plastic covers below the tank can also be replaced with metal ones.

People would laugh at him if he did that. Laughing Well, I would be hard pushed to contain a snigger at any rate. Coloured anodised fasteners look the pits in my book.
