NICE!! Thanks for the bar ends Nyle - they worked out great - and don't look so bad either!

By the way, check out these shots for the close ups of the bar ends with the CRG mirrors. I LIKE, ITS NICE - Jaqui!

Don't forget the front center cap, and maybe the front shock spring! Even the sidecase would look hot in Black!

There are black backrests for $85+shipping on ebay from a vespa dealer somewhere in the US.
