Well it was doing my head in so today out came the grinder and welder and I knocked these up!

They aren't the best but they will do for now 😂

Just painting them black and will refit them once dry

I can stop moaning about them now 😂

Once painted no one except you and the forum :-D will know they aint shop bought. But that's the fun of owning a motorcycle, making bits and pieces that you cant buy
