    When just looking at the bike's picture , a nice Gilles tooling golden rearset would look very nice in combo with the wheels and front forks! And 'hrc' red or blue braided lines (it really does pay off big time but mostly on track/heavy braking trips)

    Other than that,, I would say.. enjoy it 'as is' ... Ride! :)

    Keep the smileys for yourself dude, you may need them. BTW I only take important things seriously and an internet forum aint one of them.

    Had Gilles rearsets on an old ZX9, very nice, I had the ones with the carbon fibre heel pads which actually tended to break at the fixing points which spoiled them a bit but otherwise very good. Already spent about £450 on various bits but if I really like her when I get her Then I'll maybe get the rearsets also.

    Yeah, they look the absolute dog's b****ks, they're the adjustable one right?

    Have you had the wheels sprayed to match?

    You could go the other end of flush mounts though, and try the Watsen Design 1's.
    Not only do they fit great, they are also painted to and exact match, and made from billet aluminium.

    You are not serious! :D:D: Are they real? I can't believe they'd pass an MOT but surely no way is any four wheeler gonna spot them flashing?

    LEDs right? maybe very visible at night from the front but half of the drivers out there have a job seeing normal indicators. You've got some balls to put them on, give you that, but I'd be expecting to get crunched by some car sooner or later swearing that I wasn't indicating.

    You could try emailing them direct mate. I'm sure thats what I did.
    Don't get me wrong you will still wait 2-3 months for delivery, but they really are worth the wait.

    Oh how wrong you are mate.

    These things are brighter than the sun, and no cheap bolt on.
    Don't take my word for it though, look them up along with the reviews,

    Top 3 for me would be:

    - Suspension Setup
    - Braided Hoses
    - Brembo MC

    Are they some sort of 'super bright' LED?

    They are seriously bright LED's compared to the standard bulb type indicators.
    Also the way they are shaped helps the light direct in the right direction, rather than normal flush mounts, that just look bright close up and to the side.
