[granda080]

I had the chance to get the bike painted again so I went ahead and did it. What do you all think?

:thumbup: Awesome! Love It! Well thought out and well done. Nice thinking on the black accents. Was that your isea or the painters? I've always been partial to yellow or white bikes. I have no idea why...

Looks great! How are those mirrors holding up? I've read nothing, but really bad things about them :don'tknow:

I haven't had any problems with them. I also didn't use the strange mounts that came with them. What problems are people having with them?

[Sawblade]

I like it!

What problems are people having with them?

I've read things like "They're cheaply made.. they fall apart.. they vibrate". Good to know that they work well for someone. I love the idea of having indicators on mirrors.

I think it looks awesome! Nice work dude.

 

[fazil]

Looks nice.
Soft bags looks good also.
What brand are they and do they have any metal brackets?

 

[Sith Lord]

i dig it! its splendid! what doesn t tick my box is that black patch on the side of the tank. i would have done without it, or is it some sort of knee grip?

 

[mikw73]

That looks fantastic!

Where'd you get those tank grip pads? I like 'em. I like those powder coated rearsets, too. Nice work.

I haven't had any issues yet, but I for sure could see that. The original brackets were really cheap and looked bad. The mirrors themselves seem fine. I am just lucky that I had another set of aftermarket mirrors laying around to cannibalize from.

Looks nice.

Those are just the Cortech bags. They don't have any sort of hard mounting hardware. I've had them for years. They are great.

It is a tank grip. They are from TechSpec. I actually bought them off someone on the forum that had sold their bike. They literally peel off and just stick back on. I really like their practicality and they work great as well. Just nice to be able to peel them off and wash the bike, and then stick them back on.
