    @stinkwheeler Yeah the wider, higher bars, can result in the throttle cable being too short. It would either need rerouting, or a longer one being made up. Along with everything else.

      I did want to get the original graphics rather than these but worked out far too expensive and the headlight cowl graphics are now discontinued 🙈

        @calum ahh thats cool will have to look at the throttle cable but going to get braided hoses for the brakes anyhow so that shouldn't be too much of a worry

          @calum fat bars are Lower generaly so the width doesent matter I’ve got some on my dt fit perfect I also have some high rise fat bars and I’m sure they would work too

              So a little later than planned my exhaust just turned up from Portugal http://imgur.com/gallery/lXDtKTq
              Looks smart will polish it and get it fitted asap it seems it was sat in the post office for nearly 3 weeks and that it had an attempted delivery but they never left a ticket.... also just managed to get a dtx headlight from fowlers after having to return one as it was so badly packed it was broken when it arrived the second one wasn't packed much better but i can finally start getting it together now 🙂

                              That's impressive. I've never been able to understand how you polish metals!

                                          I wouldn't spend too long polishing, mine seems to bake an orange tint and blue at the cylinder end after a good thrashing! Looks awesome, really want an underslung now
