Thanks!
Took some figuring to do, but I put LED's on the front and went with a integrated rear brake/signal light with the orginal RoboCop looking tail light lol.

I wasn't a fan of how the orginal mirrors looked on the bike so I tried going with some bar ends, but because of the weighted rod in the handlebars I needed to find another way to mount them. Just waiting to machine some pieces.

Also having a friend of mine custom make some other pieces to cover where the mirrors originally mounted on the cowl. Soon as a get them, I'll be posting more pictures.

I wanted to do an all-in-one rear light set-up on my old '87 but never got around to it

Haa, I was very tempted, best of all, it happened xmas day 2017, police didn't want to know, even though I had cctv footage,then insureance took over a year to pay out. Will never use MCA again. I couldn't touch the bike because they didn't even send an engineer to assess it till right never the end. So I couldn't just repair it myself. Been a bit of a nightmare, but all sorted now lol, anyways enough whinging Found out its mostly plastic and screen damage and a clutch lever. but it was writ off under class N, so time to rebuild.

Hello! I picked up a roller 87 600F this summer. Working on getting it back on the road. The fork seals are shot and the rear shock looks saggy. Are there any easy swappable units from newer bikes?

There are some Chinese shocks on ebay that might work. Measure yours from eye to eye and take a chance.
