My Base circle grinds lasted less than two years before lift was same as stock.

Just found a local crowd that can do the cams for $420 NZD for ground and $900 for a hardface job.

Re: Can I fit bar end mirrors without it looking naff?

Dont care about filtering as I have a B12 for going to work duties. And to those that like the mirror extenders, sorry they are not my thing. But am thinking of a pair of these at 240mm long could work on the fairing. Yes Ive asked if they have all black sets. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing...

Can I fit bar end mirrors without it looking naff?

Ive got Renthals. At last I can do long rides in comfort.

Now that's a good idea, do they have hydraulic clutch too?
No mate they are cable clutch. But the stock line works if you pop it out of its holder by the forks.
