I have Kiwi, just for a few seconds and it's much loader than the previous Micron that was on but I don't have any other reference point.
Will put a vid in the next couple of days

Hi Big G,
They are from a Company called Ryde on e bay item number 400711023552
Only £14 posted.
I've not ridden with them yet so will review them later this week. What I can say is the treads were a bit crap and I had to tap them.
Other than that quality seems quite good, fixings are the double ended adjuster kind. I like the look  :clapping:

@ Big Geordie,
Don't buy them! Test run today and they just kept coming loose, gonna try and find different fixings.

Nigel - it may be the way you have fixed them, as sometime standard mirrors do the same. Undo them, and screw the 17mm nut (the one that "clamps" it to the handlebars" all the way up the stem of the mirrors. Then screw the mirror on and screw it down as far as it will go. No take it back 1.5 turns and screw the 17mm lock nut down onto the clamp onto the handlebars. Then see if they still come loose.

What would you call that GSX1400 plate thing?  Top handlebar plate?  Where'd you get that ?
Also the red nut, from where?
Title: Re: Riders POV
Post by: Red Biker on Saturday, 08 April 2017, 04:18 AM
Hi Vlad
The handlebar brace was off e bay, came as a set with master cylinder lids.
I can't remember the seller but let me know if interested and I'll try and dig it out!
The Red nut is from pro bolt

Cheers

Wow, amazing.

That exhaust is out of this world. Love it love it love it!

I do like it Dan, I bought it purely on looks but it's got a lovely cackle to it 👍
It's flexible in that you can spray the tips if you wanted and also change the angle of the slash which I've now done.

niw its back together i really like it
I'd leave the ends of the exhaust as it is
even think the red bits look good and are just enough colour on the bike
top job a credit to you
i do hope i get to hear it sometime .
i might be down in Notts at somepoint
as I'm from the area originally.

:cheers:

i did meet a guy who was 2 years above me at school a couple of years ago at a mcr i had never met him before .

its great the folk you meet with these 1400's
