I basically got the same bars as Neka. Keep the belly pan black. If u want to make a "tougher" ride then go the renthals, they give u 100 points of instant streetfighter cred. Prob just change the headlight also, you could try a stock Z setup or otherwise get something aftermarket ?

yeah, for the headlight, im thinking something like this, but in black (lower mount would be removed, and the sides would be used to mount it onto the bike with pretty much no modifications) some re qiring would be required
but that may change, all depends on how patient I want to be, If i want black, looks like my only option seems to be ordering it from the states
Id love to go a zeddy stock setup, but i fear $$$ may get in the way (anyone got any ideas on how much a zeddy headlight assembly would be worth?)
also, may not be bothering with the screen, I've been adjusting to riding a nekkid, and im starting to like it as is.
the bars arent so much for the look, its more of a position thing, currently I feel like I'm a bit between a sports position, and a touring position, and i think just a little bit forward will change the ride quite alot(not sure if for better or worse yet) but a tougher look is always nice if i can have it too

OK
after a LONG wait, the bellypan is finally in the country (thanks for letting me know it was on the way amc[/sarcasm])
replacement bar end mirrors are en route too
my bike is now graced with a set of black Tag flatbars. they could not make a more positive difference to the handling, it just wants to tip in now(with my weight shifted forward, and the slightly wider bars, much more responsive)
also considering changing my grab rail to black to go with the bellypan
Ill put up a photo when the new bits are on
