Very, very nice. But far too clean, you could eat off that!
The best thing about being old is we did all our stupid stuff before the Internet was invented, so there’s no proof.

Aren't the alloy plates between the nut and swingarm meant to be the other way round? i.e. so the chamfered edge is inside and thus avoiding the curve in the corners of the swingarm's U section?
Otherwise the sharp corner edges will take all the pressure of the nut, and tend to bend the plate / make it dig in?

Got the oil and filter in the garage and will get them changed once the bike is back on two wheels.

I took mine for a long (306 miles) cross-country run down to Whithorn in Dumfries & Galloway, and ate the sarnies at Isle of Whithorn harbour, in glorious sun.

Which ones did you fit? I've yet to see any I like that fit with std bars, are yours only compatible with the Renthals?

These guards...https://www.ebay.co....tm/255586919478
They are ABS - likely to break easily( )
Handlebars - I tapped them for std bar weights which have been drilled n tapped to accept M8 fixings.

Brackets supplied with guards do NOT fit. I made some from 19 x 3mm aluminium strip about 100mm long (each) I had in stock.
DRL strips are these type https://www.ebay.co....tm/155011162690
DRLs are coupled to Fixitsan's excellent controller and they cover the yellow band on the front of the guards
