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
will know they aint shop bought. But that's the fun of owning a motorcycle, making bits and pieces that you cant buy
Trust me I am a retired Doctor and lecturer at Oxford University of Structural and Mechanical/Electrical engineering.
May the shaft be with you

So, do you have an opening date for SAKM MODS Co’, specialising in centre stand and spotlight mount modifications?

Need to get a small customer base first!
Currently I am the only customer so I don't think it will survive

Looks fine but i would have gone for a satin mat black. It's just a personal choice.

So would I
But I didn't have any and I'm an impatient prick
They will do till winter when I refine them and probably paint the whole lot gloss black
