'experts' seem to look better than the 'pro's' to me, especially the bars.... red pads for me, as they are in better condition...
:4_17_5: :4_17_5:
didnt realise you never used the layback... :-\

for some reason sam it just wasnt working,in fact it looked just god damn awful,i dont know why, ireally wanted to use it too,i think with expert bars it looked out of proportion,maybe with a set of pro bars it might look better ???
