Okay....can I have your handguards then?
:motorsmile:
Thanks for the pics, looks great.
You said a slight mod was needed to fit them on the clutch side. What exactly did you do?

Post by: ba55man on May 27, 2009, 02:10:21 PM: On the clutch side the handguard is a bit longer which hits the fairing, what I did was to cut it off and then "stuck" a piece shaped from what I cut off over the remaining handguard, but the plastic does not take to adhesives very well so at the moment it has Araldite contact adhesive and black gaffer tape holding it in place.

On the original picture from the front you can just see silver gaffer tape (changed now), I believe there is an glue which you apply and then spray on an activator to set it, when I find I will let you know.
