Nice job, Mel.
And full marks for being persistent and single-minded. The results speak for themselves.
I was particularly pleased to note that you didn't do the belt covers yellow...there was one on here about a year ago with yellow covers and I thought they looked a bit iffy.
If you're looking for bar-enders, check the 3" round Oberons....I think they do two types. Mine have a knuckle joint/pivot at the bar-end and a ball and socket adjuster on the mirror. £65 each isn't exactly cheap, but they're nicely made and I'm well pleased with mine. They also pivot fully inwards for getting through narrow gateways etc. and visibility is better than the std stalky ones, in my opinion. I'll try and post a pic (or pop over for seaside ice-cream once the weather improves).
As per my pm, I'm wondering whether a single can exhaust would suit the little motor...???
Maybe satin black Renthals too, if you're thinking of changing the (std..?) bars at all.
And of course, it needs a custom alternator cover plate....
But overall, a top job, with a unique and rare outcome.
Full marks.
