Whitehouse K17 mods...

[Bazbro_imp]

Bazbro, I’m pumped for your bike’s transformation and looking forward to the pics! Did you end up buying the signal light kits for front or rear? I’m hoping to do similar work this spring and wasn’t sure if the front fork ears required the front K10 signals as well - my preference is to avoid ordering them if I can as it’s already a fairly expensive kit. I hope you don’t have egregious delays associated with ongoing supply chain woes and will watch for updates.

No, I didn't order the indicators (signal lights). I feel that they are so similar to the originals as to be unnoticeble. Fitting the standard indicators 'might' prove problematic, though - I'm not sure, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. So I may yet still have to buy the replica indicators. We'll see.

I've ordered the headlight 'ears' without the 'US spec' round orange reflectors - we didn't have those in the UK back in the day. But it leaves two small holes, unfortunately. Still, anything's better than those horrid reflectors - I hate them!

For the same reason, I didn't buy the front mudguard (fender) from Samurider. The originals/replicas from David Silver can fit, with the aid of a self-made bracket (plans for which were VERY kindly supplied to me by Ninemeister - thanks again, mate! ).

And again, I didn't buy the painted headlight bucket - our chrome one is quite acceptable.

All will be reavealed (hopefully) in a month or two, when the bits start arriving and I can get started. Photos will be shared...

If my experience is anything to go by, you MUST order the kit NOW, in order to stand any chance of receiving it by Spring.
