Hi all,
As some of you may know, I got into a bad accident around 3 weeks ago, where my front end got wrecked, including bent front forks and clamps, mirrors, scratched/cracked fairings and a cracked stator cover. Luckily I was fine, and apart from the stated damage, the bike is in good condition.
So here is how it looked before:

How she looks now:
Headlight kept from stock; dremelled out the pointy plastic brackets on the side and used some universal headlight mounting brackets
New engine cover sanded down and repainted along with sprocket cover.

Got a new delkevic ds70 slip on as well as a yamaha r6 08 shock to fit on. More pics to come soon!
Great job, I like the mirrors!
