Mine took a bit of persuasion, but I've got it on there with the fender eliminator and stock blinkers now :kuda:

OK on the right It touches the mid pipe and pushes it onto the rear brake master cylinder....That's why I can't get it to line up without a bit of GENTLE persuasion :shock: :lol: :lol:

btw r.e. the little extenders you made for the indicators. perhaps you should consider bending a little lip on them like _____________| , this would provide a bit extra strength for your new mounting setup and reduction of bouncing the indicators about (and possibly minimise a potential tendancy to nuke globes.). if you take the mounts off a perfect way is to hold them in a vice between two woodblocks for the size lip you want and use a third block to bend a 90' turn in the aluminium.

Other than that, looks good.

I actually had a bit of "L" shaped extrusion I could have used :x .....Might end up making another set and it might hide the inner part of the indicator too.... :kuda:

And on a side note a HUGE thank's to Robracer for helping me change my sprocket's this afternoon.....Your a champion Rob :kuda:

The bike felt so much more ridable on the way home sit's right in the torquey (if thats a word) range in all gears and dosn't bog down, down low as much if any.....Wish I'd done it sooner... :D

Is a lot smoother ride..... 8)
