Looks good from what I can see. Try and post a pic or two from a bit further away . Those bars look a lot like the Renthal Fat bars on my GSX S1000 Suzuki ,except mine are more of a matte black.

i would have loved to use a “fat bar” like the pro taper. But couldnt find anything with a TBW notch. Just waiting on my T sport fairing to be shipped.

What fairing did you find to work with the headlight? Or are you swapping that out?
