And me old Texports in the background!

@Gio; Yeah slightly oversize shed actually!
A 25 foot long by 12 foot wide, reinforced shed, that is.

Has had 5 bikes in plus room to get round em all! Not bad fer £1300 self-erected!
Oh, and really speaking, the most I can take off the plate is the Kawasaki bit at the bottom; The numbers/letters of my Reg are unfortunately edge to edge!

Still, shes a big girl so the plate looks in the right scale!

Lovely looking bike there FM.

Just for info, I have the colour code for the silver paint to match our unique and classy silver colour should you ever want to colour match the bellypan and middle panels etc... (i've just posted a pic of mine so you can see the match for yourself) just let me know.

What I'd give for a big garage!! mine is only 2/3rds the size of the usual small built in to the house jobbie as I have my office at the back of it.

As soon as the kids leave, "wuh whooooo" I'll have a bedroom as my office and convert the garage back , I won't know what to do with all the space

Fm, did you have to drill the plastics to get those M-lite indys on?

falcomunky · #38 Post by **falcomunky** » Sun Jan 14, 2007 10:41 pm

Yeah. One little 3mm hole fer the wires, if I remember correctly, per indy.

Cant see it though, (hidden underneath indy).

Hey FM, that's the neatest indy set up I've seen - what did you use and where from? (of course, if you tell me, you might be in danger of losing the exclusivity!!)
Cheers

Hey FM

Following on to Tweakers comments, how did you deal with the holes left by the oem front indys?

Falcoholic · #42 Post by **Falcoholic** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 1:37 pm

I love the indicator conversion but I have soft Oxford panniers which I use quite a lot. I think they may just cover up the LED ones.

I got the indys from ere;
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... RK:MEWN:IT
I had em on my zx6rB1 and they work a treat.
They are intended fer use on car mirrors, but with a little imagination...

They are also flexible so can be placed pretty much anywhere on the bike!
I blanked the OE indy holes with squares cut from the original carbon-look tank pad that was on the bike when I bought it and just glued em in place.

Hi tech huh!?!?

As for the Oxfords. I also have the throwover style and I sat em in place before I drilled the holes fer the indys to see if they were still visible. They are, but I will prolly remount the OE indys, (they are currently under the seat and still connected to the indy system due to flasher problems (yes I got an LED flasher)), just for extra visibility when we go to the BMF show in May.
Thankfully I travel two-up very rarely these days!
