Fairing was bought here in Oz, and the flat bars are Z1Ent. "drag bars". I did have to use a 15mm bar riser for the master cylinder to clear the top of the forks

Thanks all :)
Yeah, I can't see how the tyre didn't hit the rear fender with that big swing arm ? though if it was the same guard on it when it got to Oz there wasn't any signs of scraping.
Mr. Motom, the fairing was around AUD$200 with screen, but I guess the shipping over there would be fairly steep?
