yamaha yzf 750/1000 has come home

here are some pics as promised

first i used the box ally to bolt to the origional threaded bracket holder

then i had a length of 10mm solid bar which i bent 2 identical shapes using a pipe bender

then i cut some more box section and drilled 2 holes where the mirrors will be attached and also a vertical hole where the solid bar will be bolted up

then i roughly made a shape with the pipe bender like this

and this will attach round by the clocks somehow / not quite figured this out yet but i'm sure it'll come to me

any suggestions / alterations welcome

Coming along nicely.
Couldn`t you use flat bar for going around the clocks,will be easier to drill through the bar/fairing than the round bar?
Do you really need support right around the fairing, would a short piece of bar bolted to the box either side be enough?

I noticed that too but I didn't want to say in case you beat me up in the play ground

.

That would bug me something rotten if it was mine. Is it possible to straighten it up at all?

Just elongate the holes on the bracket and nip it up.
