very nice. How long and how much hassle to fit them?[/i]

Looks great, what did you use to cover the space where the standard indicators had been?

Not much hassle to fit them, bit of dremelling and drilling is all. The mounting studs on the mirrors need to be cut down by about 6mm and the holes in the fairing bracket that the OE mirrors screw into need the threads drilling out. The hardest bit was sorting through my screws to find four that were the right size to hold them on.

Get over to the AF1 forum and PM Lttlcheeze to order some, and have a look at his "Joe Jobs" post for more details.
All credit should go to Lttlcheeze for designing and making them, all I've done is bolt them to my bike.

The original indicator holes now have MGF side repeaters in them, there's a post on here somewhere about that as well.

.... <sigh> ya know, I'd be happy if my plastics didn't look like they'd been polished with a cheese grater and the heavy blue bitch started after a cold day in the alley next to the playground of my school in the 'balmy' south east. But yes, the meticulously modded, dremmelled, streamlined uber-falco does look sexy. Anyone developed a forcefield mod that won't drain the battery as much as my system 3 must be?

Ah Datatool alarm .... why didn't you say ..... you're not the first to report problems with one of these fitted .....

(not saying that everyone with a Datatool has problems but there have been a number reported)

Am I right in thinking the indi-mirror set up costs in the region of £160 +

If so I'd rather spend my dosh elsewhere.

....and exactly how adviseable is running a 50m extension cord from the bedroom window in my 2nd floor flat to my garage - you think it would bug my neighbours?

Nah. They'd just plug into it too.

k1w1boy I have been experimenting with one of these solar powered battery chargers seems to be making a difference

Could you tell me where to attach the solar bit?

Don't seem to get a very fast dowload speed at this time of year!

If it worked with snow flakes rather than sunbeams, It'd be OK today,

On the roof. or better still upward facing window? It appears to just give enough of a charge to keep the bike starting after several days laid up

Top job Nooj - as usual. Looks great in my opinion.
