Yeah I figure a mirror(ish) bottom mount and some bars thing them together, but it's nicely sculpted and not just a lump of angle 

[clivegto]

Yea something along them lines.

Didn't notice that mate, it seems as if all the new ones are M22 much to my surprise where as the older Setrab one's were straight to M8 or at least the other 2 I have are

Playing with my new to me drill/mill.   

[clivegto]

Got some Chinese risers and fat bars to try for size. .  

[Digs]

So I finished the 2 little brackets I've been making on my little lathe and mill, there bracket's for the spot lights to mount to the cooler bracket. Fully adjustable and I think they look better than the ones that came with the spots.     

[DAZ]

Far classier than the usual u shaped strip metal jobbies  you're making some nice bits on those big boy tools 

[clivegto]

Cheers man.

[clivegto]

Made some spacers for the risers to put the fat bars in a similar position to the blue Renthal's I had fitted before. Makes it a lot more comfortable riding position for me.

Chinese steering damper £37 delivered made of billet fully rebuildable, 26 settings  and anodised black. How on earth can they make them that cheap.

Chicken feed costs the earth nowadays. Quality of the damper really is fantastic.

Anyway I knocked a bracket up this afternoon to hold the middle in place and the other end bolts straight onto the k8 yoke. Wants a bit of adjustment but all is well .

Bought another back light just to get the bulb holder's as I couldn't find any others the same. Probably is I just couldn't find them lol. Is a gsxr400L I believe back light which is the same as the RGV 250vj22 they look like gsxr1100m back lights but there bigger. Light came with the 400 light frame which is different to the 250. So I chopped it up stuck it back together and extended it a bit. Fits now .

Had to cut the grass, that meant moving the lawnmower so I was able to get Spondon number 10 out of the shed for a walk round for a look see.
