I would'nt worry about the finish of these edges. If the welding seemed off I would take a closer look. Nobody is going to question your decision of buying the Continental GT based on the finish of the tank's edges. And congratulation's on your upcoming purchase, I hope you will put up an ownership thread. May the tribe continue to increase. | |

For your great sacrifice, I owe you lunch ![]() Never thought I would own a bull. Enfield was never for me, but one ride of Continental GT and now I am a believer! Looking forward to getting back on the saddle after six long years. | |

| ![]() Neil, with regard to the RVMs, have you ever thought of going with the chrome ones that come with the Classics? I reckon they'll give an extra dosage of the retro charm that already exists in the Captain. |

| ![]() IMO, the classic rvms would look outta place on the gt since it is quite large and clunky, would lose that sleek look.Bar end would look the best.And no, not the bar ends that we get here. Sigh, if only we had access to quality custom parts in India like in US/EU. Regards BOV |

| ![]() I received an invitation email from the RE company showroom in Jayanagar for a trip to Shevaroy Hills on the 21st and 22nd of February. The ride includes accommodation on a sharing basis (I assume two in a room), breakfast and lunch on both days as well as dinner on the 21st. Total cost is Rs 1700 which seems quite reasonable. Is anyone else planning on joining the company ride? Quote:

Well, as B O V stated, you might have to look at the ones found abroad. There's one that comes as an extra accessory for the Iron 883, and when I happened to ride one fitted with those for a pretty long distance, it offered satisfactory visibility with minimal vibrations. You might want to check it out. |

| ![]() That rear stripey tail light with indicators,bar ends are all available on the online stores. I've seen 'em all. If you want continental gt specific parts,I doubt you'd get em. Parts like rvm's and taillamps are all universal fits and can be retrofitted to anything really. Actually I was going to suggest another place for attaching the rear view mirror, but refrained from it since it wasn't a factory setup. The image below has what I had in mind, beautiful isn't it ![]() Incidentally, I plan to do some of the ideas as seen in the image above on my motorcycle. Collecting spares right now.

I had checked on the bike stripes at some shops nearby quite some time ago but the prices quoted were a mix of audacious and atrocious. Quote:
Out of curiosity, with the placement of the mirror, do you think visibility will be possible? Where are you getting the parts from? Are you planning on doing a custom paint scheme? I'm quite looking forward to the end result. | ||
