Pic does not do it justice, sooo much better than stock
Bought new indicators also as the standard ones looked huge.
Love the ARRIVERDERCI logo that I always put on Italian bikes
The cans have got to go next

Nice tail tidy .... really must get on and knock one up myself.

Shame your neighbours let their kids out with a pack of crayons though - made a right mess of that numberplate. Glad to see that they left those rare red tail lights alone

Cheers - but I think I'll make my own - someone posted up a drawing of one they'd done a while back - didn't look too difficult so I'll have a go myself.
The thing that's holding me up is a set of rear indicators - I ordered some from Busters that were just right for what I wanted but they cancelled the order as they couldn't get them ... now I've got to choose some others.
Sort of know what I want :smt002

Somebody on here made up their own tailtidy by merely relocating the O/E plate holder and light directly to the underside of the tail section.

Nice cheap mod, looked OK and uses all the O/E wiring, dunno about the indis tho'.
