Never use parkers so got rid of those wires
Twin lights  at last . IMG_3471
First thing to rust will be inside so i coated the inside with chain wax.(not runny)

Everything fitted inside the shells (to my surprise )
Twin lights  at last . IMG_3475
Fitting took about 20 mins , mostly working out how to fit ever thing inside the shells .Otherwise plug and play .
Finish very good ,wiring excellent (take not Suzuki ) SIZE 3.5 " each so overall 7" .Called Dominator from Bandit Dave (e-Bay U.K )
Price about $85 (66 pounds ).Spent the next 3 hours trying to tidy up the wires and ignition block ,as it didnt look right with the cowl (to me )
I'll finish it tomorrow as i carnt get it right .

Happy for you that they finally arrived Gus. Blame my partner, Jan, she works for Aussie Post. Very Happy How is the Hi Low set up going to be ? One for low, and two for high ? Or both on low and high ? I like both on all the time . Look forward to seeing more.

I paid $60 for my set of ultra lows but i got stuffed around by the importer ( cassons ) and they took 8 weeks to get to me so they reduced the price a bit more as well

I bought the brace for mine as the bars felt sort of flexy when the going got a bit faster and under hard braking , I had to order the brace from the UK as cassons don't bring in the brace for the road bars

This one

feels much better now

They look the same as mine. I found they weren't much good as being lights at night but I still reckon they look shit hot. If you dont do much riding at night like me then its all good. Smile
Your bikes looking more and more like mine!

Still in the Honda Shop in Perth. Still not sold. Had a few people interested but no-ones taking the plunge yet Neutral
Watching "By any means" with Charley Boorman last night I was itching for a trailbike again. Going up through the Daintree looked like a lot of fun
