OK you gods here goes ..............and yes I have had a look in search before asking I promise ( and yes I know you'll probably find one showing me I never looked hard enough after I’ve ask as well !! ) BUT

Has anyone ever joined the brake light to be used as the indicator as well and then freeing it up for a high level can by getting rid of the rear indicators......

Just an idea which I obviously didn't look into when buying the bloody high level RSV can :smt017 ............Looks like it'll work but just doesn't quite fit , back to old can till I can sort something out......... :smt013

Ideas gentleman.......And NO TWAT isn't an idea !!! :smt009

Not legal so no point in attracting unwanted attention.

That said, Nooj has recently released an integrated tail light/flasher set that is closer to legality than flashing one of the tail lights (spacing of them is closer than supposed to be though)

Have a search and you'll find it

Or have a very close look at assorted images of my bike over the years

Here's a hint - acquire a spare grab rail and cut it down. The side mounts for it will be available then. The alloy takes a tap and then a set of threaded indicators can be fitted easily

Also adhesive blister types are easy to fit to the rear cowl - look at caravan part suppliers

The solution that I commissioned Nooj to make does look awesome btw

It can be done by using any slightly smaller indies and a bit of fiddling.
See examples of Tweaker's ex bike that my mate Dave recently sold to Musclebiker.

That's about as close as my one is sitting to the tail unit on mine, does it damage the paint work? ........Am liking the idea of maybe using the grab rail as a flash point so to speak.....Going to have to change my plate and go back to a more square one to let it fit but thanks for the ideas....

I'd thought about doing something in the grab rail .... but decided that I'd better have something that's not going to be obscured by the pillion

Thought about it. But would need to be longer and able to support a spinning blade.

cornish

when i started to move things around, i started off with some cardboard to cut too shape etc - then i could make brackets and things.

Think laterally - you would be amazed what will bolt onto a number plate..... and where :)
