Thanks! These look like they could do the job. I just saw a lot of brackets with holes in them and other silly looks, and those on the bike in the picture came a little nearer to a stock look without being it.
I’ve also considered a Bates style headlight, but not sure how to fit it, and would rather not drill into the yoke or anything like that. Does anyone know what kind of assembly those headlight take?

Just use your honda headlight. If you scroll down this link, you will find pictures of my black 550 with those headlight brackets. http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,24825.75.html

Nice, thanks Julie! I might just end up doing that. Those brackets look exactly like I want them.
Are you just using stock signals? The chrome on mine are rusted and pitted, so looking for a nice replacement.
Also - no rear fender? Only riding in dry weather, or have you worked out a less visible solution?
Oddjob:
You're missing the speedo cable bung. Goes in the hole in the front mudguard and the speedo cable passes through it. OE one is a sort of dirty white/grey colour.

Ah! Are these usable without any other parts in both front and back?
Trigger:
On the front only. The back stems are totally different ;)
