Chin spoiler

So, do tell Chris about the handlebars. Very cool and very well done.
But I did want to ask if you actually see yourself taking a picture when you look into the mirrors while riding?
And Boudreaux, very interesting avatar as well. I'm tempted to ask if you see that in your rear view mirrors while riding -- but I won't.
 
Ponters got his spoiler from Carbon Dry in Japan (don't think they make them anymore but I could be wrong) have a look on their (very pricey) website.

very sneaky but so smart after all. your aftermarket handlebars appears to be slightly narrower than OEM

About 3" narrower - bit higher. They JUST clear the tank on full lock. JUST!. With hindsight MAYBE 1/2" more rise would have been more cruiser-ish. But then I don't really ride it like a cruiser so.........

The throttle tube area is 7/8" tubing and the actual throttle tube runs on iGus sleeve bearings. Made them myself - to fit me exactly. Very H/Duty Stainless and resin filled to kill vibration.

To get both screens on at once I had to make different brackets - but keeps all spurious light reflections at bay. The instrument chrome rear covers are PlastDip'd too. So's the key cover plate. The Blacking out rubber coated Carbon Fibre on the roadster screen could now come off - But I sort of like it. It has some interesting night visibility enhancements incorporated too.

Photo taken from behind the bike - so no I don't see myself as I ride.
