Accidentally posted in Rizoma thread, repost here.
In an unusual and positive confluence, the three Farkles I recently ordered all arrived on Friday. So I had a nice Saturday afternoon in the garage attending to the front end of the CB.
First were the Rizoma knock-offs discussed on another thread. They can be found here: http://m.ebay.com/itm/190602331465
Upon opening them, I was surprised at their diminutive size, and concerned that thee were pure show. No need for the worry. While they are indeed small, they are slightly convex, and in crystal clear blue tint glass. Easy to mount and adjust, zero blurring at speed, and great view once adjusted. Can't be beat for $48, shipping from HK in under 2 weeks.
Next, the chrome gauge covers. They just screw on and cover the black plastic. I'm not really a chrome guy, but I like the look on the CB, and it definitely brightens up the front end. $48 from a dealer in eBay.
Finally the Dart flyscreen. I have one on a Bonnie, and am a fan. What a nice piece of kit, and a tip notch vendor. Great quality and instructions and the custom brackets are perfect. I think I'll eventually spray them black, but the setup is great, and while it does not turn the CB into a touring rig, the Dart gives a decent windbreak in the chest, and looks great without taking away from the classic look of the CB.
So, it was a nice day. Tomorrow, I ride!
