Finally had some time to myself and managed to install my new Hagons. After a few nightmares installing my rear wheel recently (previous owner made the chain too short and my drive is sloped), I was a bit worried it would take all night. But it went smoothly.
Unfortunately I can't test ride them to work tomorrow as the bolts aren't torqued or threadlocked (I was trying to be as quiet as possible so didn't want to use a ratchet or torque wrench).
Still as I'm still waiting on a long pullytap to clear the exhaust it's not the end of the world.
I also managed to get an OEM Scrambler kickstand off ebay at a good price so today seems to have turned around. I've currently got a standard Bonneville one as it was the cheapest one I could find at the time. But it will be nice to put the correct one on... even if they do look a bit odd and Idk when it will get fitted.
Anyway here's an awful pic in the dark.
Looking at it side on I am really tempted to get a Lucas tail light and move the number plate down to the end (a bit like a mudflap) to clean the back end...But I never know what indicators I'd want.
