Look what i did last night!
New rear indicators and stripes, i've got to do the front of the tank and the front mud guard before the Ace Cafe reunion run on sunday!
I'm gonna fit a new rear light further back and smaller number plate before i've finished, would really like a solo seat unit too but that will have to wait!

Looking good. I like the stripes and those little blinkers. I thing moving the light in and a smaller plate will look good too.

Also, I was wondering about how the new bars and the old stock seat add up for you. I tried installing lower bars, but with the stock seat i felt it was a little too uncomfortable as I was rather hunched over, I felt it would have been better if i had cut into the seat to make it lower, let me know how it works out for you. also, maybe some wide view pics of the bike as a whole would be fantastic.
