Well, the full fairings looked great, but they are fickle and I spent more time trying to fix them on than riding, and I've only dropped it twice, both at a stand still almost, both times it's just rolled over onto the top fairing and broke things
So, seeing as I only really ride about once a week at most, and only do it for fun, I really can't be arsed with trying to look cool on a minty bike. So... the fairings came off... but here's the thing, I don't like naked bikes with clip on bars for starters! and secondly I rode a mates bike with renthal bars and it felt so much easier, I learnt a new trick on someone elses bike which I've never done before... so that got me thinking.. then I rode another mates bike with TAG bars and they felt really really good...
So...

Just need to bleed the handbrake, fit a headlight and front mudguard then it's done.
They are wide, but the picture makes them look a bit wider than they do in real life... however, I can move from highchair (feet over bars) to standing on the seat without taking my hands off the bars so might open up some new trick ideas for me
At the very least it means no more fairing and headlight to break  ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |
