Haven't taken any pictures.
The parts came in Suzuki packaging with Suzuki parts numbers. To the others who have commented, I realize I could have achieved the same effect with non-Suzuki parts at a cheaper cost but I wanted this as authentic and true to the original design as possible. I did search for used geniune parts at salvage yards but couldn't find anything.
Weave? No way. I found the bike with pullbacks a bit too light and twitchy in the front at highway speeds (65+). I wasn't expecting this change to fix that but it does makes for a much more secure feel. Paradoxically, the downside is that it does in fact require a lot more force to initiate a turn and the steering is not as quick at slow speeds. For me, even though I do most of my riding in traffic, the benefits outweigh the downside.
