The Zero's fairing hardware was ugly and offended my sensibilities, so...

I can't believe how awful those bolts are, and it's impossible, even with a perfectly fitting Wera bit, to not make them uglier once you remove them one time.

They are, of course, ahem--electric blue.

Does anyone know of a program for people with a titanium addiction?  Asking for a friend.

The bar ends are from Amazon.

The included attachment plugs do NOT fit the bars.  The Zero has ridiculously thick-walled bars.  I have no idea why, it's not like you need to damp engine vibration.  So I cut up the stock ends and used the inner part and a different bolt to make them fit.  And they stick out, but I think the look is fine.

And I also got these, not sure if they will be ugly, but for $12, what the heck.

Well, they look interesting at least,  Cobalt Blue - ish?  Take some pics when you get them all on and let us see what the bike looks like with it's new duds.

They are multi-color, primarily they are (hahaha) electric blue, with a wide variety of other colors.  They look different in photos too.  For example the ones on the handlebar clamp look mostly blue-ish in person, but more gold in some photos.  They look great in the sun.
