Topman Got them from Fondseca, priced at £489 delivered when I bought em last year, stainless steel is the only difference from the Gibsons that I can see, Gibson quoted me over £500 delivered and were mild steel chromed for that price, fit and build are top notch, look identical to the large can allspeeds I used to have so im assuming they are identical copies, highly recommend them for the looks alone:).

Fitted up the rad and guard the day, had to trim the guard were the fitting kit from Norbo locates but apart fae that all went sweet, put on some blingy side plates tae em bling the rad up oh anD fitted the silicon hoses, (Not sure I like the colour of the silicon hoses !!! THOUGHTS ANYONE ? , Im thinking of refitting the original black ones . l like the blue pipes, they work great with the other blue highlights. Proof will be in the pudding when the tins are on, but i think you will be golden.

Looks very nice keep up the good work. I would fit the standard radiator guard or it may run quite hot, the larger front end restricts airflow,you will find it runs arround 3/4 on the temperature gauge. I fitted a larger rad and std guard on mine, it now runs 55-60 degrees. Jess

Jess Thanks for the info Jess, I reckon i'll try that waterless coolant and see how it goes, if she runs too hot i'll refit the standard guard, having said that hot days aint that common up here in the Highlands haha, our summers don't go much past 24C .

Right , now ive fixed the slow indicators problem ive fitted on the tank and panels, looks rather good actually , im no doin much more to her this winter, wanna get her road legal and start enjoying her, my budget for her this winter is spent lol, ive done what I reckon was the bits needing done most, lots of repainting , changing fasteners, polishing, tidy the electrice up etc etc you all ken what I mean as you've all been there , hours and hours in the garage, she is blinged up on the outside and under the panels is nice an tidy, motor started 4rth kick and is sounding sweeeeeet with those Lomas pipes, I aint gonnae move her to the finished section though as I have plans for her for next winter 1) Powdercoat the swingarm black 2) Spray the wheels same white as the bodywork 3)Fit some carbon indicators (Already purchased) 4)LED brake light (purchased) 5) Fit some blingier headlight mount 6)Fast road tune So like most of them she will evolve, ive taken her out this affa and she rides and handles well,( on my own private road cough cough, I knew there was a good bike in there. But my funds are dry and im needin tae replenish em lol so the above will wait till next winter anyway some pics as she stands today, im gonnae change some horrible over long cables that came with her ( tacho and throttle)and fit my plated standard kickstart and headbolts, apart fae that she just gonna get a good seeing to lol
