Making the 3R R'er

WOW!!!!!
You did it !
Looking great, even though it's not completely finished yet.

I assume that the support bracket for the silencer is underneath it (rather than the usual type, from above) ??

Those bars look uncomfortable (in my eyes) because I need some pull back for my wrists to not complain. If it were me, i'd raise up the bar mount and rotate those bars more downward to give more of an ACE bar appearance. Maybe try to mount the TFT screen behind the bars rather than on top (??)

Regarding the mirrors...I'd perhaps try some stubby bar end ones and have them under the line of the grips rather than above (?)

The over all proportions look excellent. What a great job
 
Thanks for the compliment.
You are right about the bars. I understand styling, but putting bar end mirrors on already wide bars doesn't compute, imo.
I do like your idea of using lever pivot points as mirror mounts. I might be able to see what's behind me. Lol.
 
Thank you.
Yes, muffler utilises stock frame mounting points with a modified CBR125 fairing stay and another bespoke bracket. Very solid mount, actually.
The bars are surprisingly comfortable, for me, although I will address them again in time. I really am enjoying the riding position they afford and the narrowed bike width makes for a more confident lane filtering experience, something that I just wasn't able to do with the stock bars and mirror combo.
The TFT is another challenge, altogether. Function over form, ATM, but I would like to make it less obtrusive.
 
Nice work
