Just thought - if you want the bottom half of the headlight surround in black to go with the carbon top - you can order the bottom half from the Diesel 1100 version - Snells came up with the idea when I was looking to change the headlight

Great minds...! I talked to Craig at Moto Rapido last year about doing just that. When I found out the cost was about £80, I went off the idea! I've thought about spraying it with a black wrinkle finish to match the yokes but I'm not sure if that would look better or not.

Just pop down to Halfords and get a can of black Hammerite

That's a thought, jonzi. The Evotech exhaust hanger has a nice crinkle black powder coat finish. If I could replicate that, that would look good, I think.
