Oh and have you ever typed "pins" into the search bar. Which of the 145 results do I read first! Tell you what I'll just read the entire forum from start to finish.

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Search term "seat pins" also gives just 22 results.
A bit of thought about what to search for makes life easy.
Nobody minds helping (honest) but sometimes we're busy and we don't have the time ourselves to jump in and do the search that the person looking could do themselves.

I' m very grateful for the speed with which posts are responded to by you guys. I don't have any qualms with doing my own earching.as long as i know what i'm looking for, i don't think there was mention of seat pinss, just "pins".
Ok, i don't think we need to make more of this, i respect the accumulated knowledge and dedication of all you guys who administer and manage this site. I will search with more thought in the future.
Ride safe.

Before you know it, you will soon find your way around the forum and learn where everything is.

There is a massive amount of information on here, and who knows you might be doing write up's yourself soon.

Tolerance will be our undoing.

... and TBH I'm not telling people off ... just trying to help them learn their way around the facilities we have for finding stuff. When you get familiar with it, it actually saves you a lot of time.

I have asked admin if it's possible to post up the laser cutting files for these tail tidies, if it is hopefully they will be directly here.
In the meantime and incase it isn't possible, hopefully this link will work.
Make double check the scaling is right, I'm pretty sure it is

Don't be afraid to ask. I've searched for things and not found them, asked and someone has said "this is what you need", amazing how one slight change to what you're searching for yields results - but know what to change, there's the issueFalcoDaz wrote:I' m very grateful for the speed with which posts are responded to by you guys.

Search is great, use it, then ask if you can't find what you're after.

If anyone is thinking of making more of these, my left hand indicator mount has rusted through so maybe heavier guage steel.
There is a weak point there as there are 2 holes close together, one for the indy mounting bolt, the other hole has a cut out fot the wiring, mine snapped above the cut out
