That's looking sharp!

Can we see a side view or a shot as if you were behind the bike? I did the stock signals, I kept them on my 77, although I trimmed the mounting arms and pushed them as tight into the bike as would allow.

Bike looks small but it packs a punch... Amazing that thing is older than me and can still break a ton on the road

^^^Haha, I know eh. I recently had my 77 up to 180kph on the highway (that is if my speedo is acurate) and it still had some more to give, for a 36 yr old bike it can still fly.

The speedos on these old bikes tend to read a little optimistic at best ;D

Well trueblue, I know at around town speend its pretty acurate. Theres a couple "you're going this fast'' radar signs on my daily commute but I have no clue how on point it is above 100kph, all I know is when the speedo hit 180kph it was screaming and things started to get light hahaha. Sure was fun at whatever speed I was actually doing, Ill have to get my buddy on his RC51 to compare speedo numbers next time I'm out with him.

In my experience most of the speedo's on these bikes read about 10-15kph high at speeds over 100kph.  I swapped to Speedhut guages on my 650 a couple of years ago and they are bang on accurate. ;D  Even allowing for some speedo error that is still moving pretty quick, but it is irritating when you're chin down between the guages and someone on a new sportsbike comes alongside, changes down a couple of gears and takes off like you are standing still >:(
