nope not machined....made a bracket out of aluminum to get rid of the stock handlebar clamp and cover it in a layer of carbon fibre.

Windscreen is stock, but i tinted it with some transpartent black and also removed the suzuki logo that was on it and replaced it with mine...hehe...sorry suzuki.

Do you have any material left to make me one? I have clip ons on mine and have been looking for a solution to mounting the gauges. Let me know if you can and how much $$$.

...nope no material left for that...easy to make yourself one...grab some cardboard and make a template...hit the metal shop and pick up some thick aluminum sheet and start cutting away. :thumb:
