Heretic. Those look like they were pulled from a Hillman Imp.
The Akras will do just fine.

Fwiw I really don't like those, or the ones in the link. Much prefer the underslung silencers (Akra do one)

A lot of people buy stock 1299 cans and fairing lowers and fit them to junk the 959 shotgun cans.

such a shame about those red wheels.

And the suspension clearly needs to be set up

Otherwise a very nice bike.

The wheels are no more than a few hundred pounds to sort.

Nice bike. Very low miles.

I quite like that. I think the red wheels work with the red decals on the bike.

Those gopping cans would have to go though.
