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

Just another quick question does anybody elses rack's touch the mid pipe on there exhaust? And could this potentially be an issue?......

Got a pic of the problem area?

Shit Rob hang on I'll go take a Pic back in 5.....

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

leave it thats fine..... worst case you will melt the powdercoating where it touches

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 .....Might end up making another set and it might hide the inner part of the indicator too....

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

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...

Is a lot smoother ride.....
