Did a couple of more things quickly this morning.

Fitted the new wing mirrors, which were the cheap ones from ebay that were mentioned in another thread elsewhere (cant remember where), so who ever was asking about them, if they see this, here they are in before and after form





The mirrors are surprisingly high quality and took literally 2 minutes to swap over from the originals

I also popped the plastic chrome covers of the horns off to continue with the blacking up of the bike


As to be expected with this bike, the horn surfaces are corroding so i'll have to take them off, sand them down and re spray at some point

That was my FZ8 thread about the mirrors..

they do look quite smart, actually a little bigger that I was expecting but smart none the less..  Let's see if Santa will bring me a pair...

Great job Phil, I like that...a lot.

That looks absolutely fantastic, a good job very well done.

A mild update!! Hazah!

I have had some new indicators sat waiting to go on for a while now, finally decided it was time.
The before...


And after



The rear is also on and looking very good, but I couldn't be bothered to push it away from the bush to take a pic.

You may also spot the mismatched levels. Well. Following the lengthy discussions about cheap ebay levers I decided to brave it and get a pair. My only issue at this point is that I cannot get the slave cylinder guide pin off of the old clutch lever as it seems a blob of superglue is put on it from the factory. Helpful.


So that's one and half things now crossed off the list of things to do
