Nice, but step back a few feet and give us a view of the whole bike.  I agree, those aftermarket turn signals are tiny, and if I were only going to have one set of signals, they would be on the back so the car behind can tell I'm about to slow down to turn (if they're paying attention at all, that is).

Beware, the speedo is not original to that bike.  It only goes to 85mph which suggests it's from 80-82.  The rest of the stuff, such as turn signals, can be changed.  I do like the Lucas style tail light though, kinda cleans up the rear end.

Yeah, the dude told me he took the front end from a cb650, he has the original front end also (i asked my first thought was that it was in a wreck) he just liked the CB650 front ends, so im figuring the speedo is from the 650 also.
