Looking good Rincewind all you need now is the undertray and a tiny plate, does the end of the can miss your indicators as on mine they sat behind and blew alot of carbon on mine.
Is it me or do they crank up slightly steeper what does it look like from behind?
Can you hear them alot more now aswell? i could when i first did mine just made me laugh and giggle like a little boy,dont ya just love toys

just finishing painting the undertray, so hopefully gonna have a go at fitting it tomorrow
the indicators are currently below the pipes, so hopefully shouldn't foul too much, but with the undertray they are going to be alot higher, so i'm considering one of those LED rear lights with the indicators in them

in comparison to yours they are further back so i would imagine slightly more "cranked"

and to be honest they now sound quieter when i'm riding

though i do love the sound of them when i'm not on the bike

piccy of the rear view, new plate to be bought today!!

does look nice from the back wait till you get the tray on and plate it will look even better.

What about this for your indicators this is what i am doing heres a pic

so are those drilled into the rear light??? cool way of doing it, i take it thats Daz Sears?? wouldn't the lens shatter/split when drilled??

cos thats my only hang up with combined LED Light/indicators is will it pass an MOT??? and its a clear lens, which i'm not sure works witha red bike

decided to get some custom hangers made, theres a copmany who make bespoke polished pieces round here,

but not this month need another pay day or two first!!

Yes you drill a tiny hole for the wire to go through it wont shatter.
I have some led flush mounts completley flat with a sticky back just a wire coming from the back no screw head on the back like some.
I will be fixing mine with high modulous silicone instead of the sticky backing.I have the mini cateye flush mounts on the front aswell but im changing them for some on a stalk

Yes that was Daz's old bike but he has a clear lens on his bike now but thats black and looks quite good not sure as you say a clear lens on a red bike though.

How much are the custom made hangers if you dont mind me asking?

don't know price as yet, not approached the company

but i'm hoping to have VTR cut into them like the ones on ebay

I have some with Fire storm cut into them but they now don't fit properly, so those will be going up for sale

update

emailed the chap on ebay who is willing to make "custom" versions at a slight extra cost, as yet not e-mailed me back as to exact cost and dimensions he has in mind

measured my cans 405 long not including the outlet, the diam of the link pipes are outside to outside 53 mil they slot inside my can.

Keep us informed of the hangers.

Lloydie, I see the photo's are no longer available in the first post. I think I may have them saved (well some of them at least), once I get 5mins spare I'll dig them out from my stash and post them up,
