More sods and odds......

Most of you know I bought the Yamaha XJR1200, with no headlight, front indicators, and some damage to the speedo housing.
Well, at nearly ZAR6k I wasn't buying an original headlight, so found and fitted this headlight, It's from a Jonway type cruiser, and at ZAR380, including bracket and globes, it's a steal. Made a stainless steel plate bracket to attach it to the bike and it looks good.
Then I bought two chromed indicators from the local bike shop, at less than 20% the price of Yamaha parts, and retro fitted them into the headlight housing. Looks damn fine!I have ordered the speedo parts from Japan, and should have them in a week or 3. ZAR3000! anyway, overall not a bad buy.
