Well they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, those mirrors look to be angled so you can drool over yourself while you're riding!

Looks a bit like the one a lad at work chopped in last year.

That's not a seat, it's a chaise longue :!:

Finally hought he'd seen sense and bought himself an MT03.

Unfortunatley, he's also just bought himself a Massey!

You know it's only a bit of fun mate (apart from the dislike of all things Harley).

Hope you get on with it - least there'll be less competition for me - :lol:
