Hey RF, I just finished looking at all pages of your restoration job and all I can say is "Beautiful" I have always enjoyed seeing pictures of restoring a motorcycle or an old boat.
Congratulations on a job well done,

Thanks for the comments.

Finally got out for first ride of the new year, dry, sunny and a little chilly, bit of Redex in the tank along with some fresh fuel, took around 40 miles to clear the rough running, now runs as it should.
Hope more of the same tomorrow as Mrs RF wants a go on the back.

Another job ticked off the "to do" list.

Ordered some Moose Racing High ATV bars from the USA, arrived this morning.

So, here they are...........



Compared to oem bars.....

[rf9rider]

Found the oem bars had an unatural riding position, turned down too much at the grips, after a bit of research and a recommendation from our very own Mustang thought i`d try the Moose bars.

Fitted...........



Had to drill the bars for the nubs on the switches to stop them rotating.........



Other side............

[rf9rider]

Almost there............





The Moose bar pad looked a little out of place, so fitted the Renthal pad, looks a lot better with the colour......

[rf9rider]

The Moose bars have no threaded inserts for the bar ends, so off to local bike shop in the morning to get some aftermarket bar ends, just need the inserts as going to use my oem bar ends, and some new handguards i`ve got. 

[Bixxer Bob]

Looking good mate '

[rybes]

i like this bike. lookin forward to seein it 

[rf9rider]

Cheers Chaps.

Went and bought some bar end mounts this morning, ready to fit the new handguards.

Just needed the inner rubber part as the Moose bars have no threaded insert.

As i have the adjustable levers, the oem handguards won`t fit, so bought some GS1150 Touratech ones. 

Also got the spoilers, look a lot better with them imo.

Guards drilled and spoilers bolted on................



Straightforward to fit using the kit provided................

[rf9rider]

Plenty of room for the levers...........





And the finished job...............
