Okay, I'm gonna go mad on a new project... It's crazy, I need my head seeing too, but hell I'm gonna give it a go (and cry when my insurance gets hiked no doubt).

The KH is now running smoothly. She's not ecstatic with the early cold morning starts I make her go through, but other than that... So what do I want to do, and why am I posting?

Following some advice, I am looking to change the sprockets to make top gear usable. Then I started thinking, well there is nothing different about my bike. It still has its standard (if a little touched up) black paint job, chrome spoked wheels and dash, and I want something a little more unique. It had a smoked tail light, which I have converted from a bar of light to two circles of light (thanks to too much time on my hands, and some electrical tape Embarassed ).

Now I want to go to an extreme. I want to change the front light rig, and put a front and side body onto the bike. What I need though is some ideas on where I can get the gear. Online shops for various bike accessories, one-off fibre glass creators (or other materials that are strong but light) and other such companies.

Also, recommendations on tires for good all weather grip would be handy.

Hopefully, I'll make a real go of this, and it won't look as daft as it sounds. Praying

Just buy the from faring off something like a nsr and make it fit.

Or you can go out and spend allot of money on a bike which isn't really worth spending the cash on and you will end up selling soon.

I'm not worried about the final value, to be honest I probably won't sell the bike, just run it till it keels over Wink

I thought about taking bits of other bikes, and will 'borrow' some bits, but there are a couple of bits that I want made especially.

There's an idea Laughing I knew that thing at school years ago with the newspaper and glue would come in handy Wink

Headlights, recommendations for a decent online company that people have experience with using, that offers a good selection to view online and decent prices. All input would be very appreciated.

Thanks
