Saul Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I ordered a few bits for my CB and they turned up today. Hand guards, screen and main stand. Let the farkeling begin in the morning. Have to be careful though as it is the Mrs's 59th Birthday tomorrow so have to make sure she is happy before playing bikes. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand To be honest I am very pleased with the main stand, looks decent quality and powder coated. I was expecting to have to paint it when it came but it looks pretty good as is. The screen looks just like my mates Puig, the handgards are okish but will be functional. Obviously not as good as the Givi ones but will work. I put some pictures up when I have fitted them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 Fitted a USB and 12v outlet, plus got a small tank bag with a window so can use my phone to nav.
