Mate just bought one for his 748 and it doesnt look too bad to be honest. Good quality by the look of my Mate's too.

They are illegal you know, another thing plod can hit you for.
I think they're really sad myself, put a proper flag on the bike.

No theyre not. The bike shows a red reflector to the rear, as required by law.
