Why bother? Bikes like that are best kept clean and running. Spend some money on removing and repainting the engine covers or having the rear springs powdercoated before blinging it up. If you must do it, Honda levers from almost any bike with cable clutch will do you. Chain guard though will be tougher and not cheap.

My -1 before I sold it.

Trust, leave the anodised bar ends and clutch levers alone. Simple is where cool's at.

I lucked out and stumbled across a link pipe someone else had had made for cheap, can is Quill and quite quiet, how I like it. Swinger in NC29 (detailed writeup somewhere on http://www.hondacb1.co.nr" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) rear pegs are 92-98 Blade, allow more exhaust clearance but spoil pillion comfort (which is rubbish anyway), footrests are Beet and were another fluke find, screen about £25 from Hein Gericke etc, improves comfort hugely. Brakes are brembo and are massive compared to original, see Spiegler in Germany for the adapter and parts from a Cagiva Planet (or any number of Italian bikes)

I had that bike 6 years, sometimes you're lucky and bits turn up but mostly you're not and you make the best of what you have.
