You hadn't mentioned it being nicked in the first place.
Where did the old bill find it?

When you host the workshop day, mate........
I'm on a bit of a tight budget currently, so keeping it local for the moment.

Poole workshop day sounds good. I like Poole.
That's a very nice bike you have there Slipper. I think I need some rear indi's like that as I have hardly any clearance. What's that bit of Red I can see at the front of the belly pan on the inside.

How did you manage to spot that little red thing ! It is a quick release pipe connector. The bike tends to vent a bit after a good thrash and stinks out the garage. Doesnt bother me but the garage is attached to the house and we have have a fridge/freezer and tumble dryer in there, Every time someone goes in there the fumes end up in the house.The 3 vent pipes are permanently attached to the connector. The pipe on the bottom is vented to the outside of the garage so I just plug it in when the bike is in the garage. End of fumes

Here is the backend showing the Eyeshot Indicators

The rearbrake light is a modified LED unit. One of the guys on the USA forum fitted a truck led unit into the existing housing, so I bought a couple of the units when I was in the states and done the same thing. Again really bright but looks nearly standard.

When you work with graphics enough the eye gets trained. I used to love spot the difference as a kid as well.

Genius idea with the hose though, a good solution for non petrol smelling clothes.
Yeh those Nano's are just the kiddies for me. IIRC they are made by Oxford. You can see from this pic the clearance problems I have. And it's slightly worse now as I have the same Akro carbon mounts as you which has gived a slightly steeper rise.

Every now and again i would have to replace bulbs on the back end when i had the scorpions as they was so close it would vibrate it to hard

Thats why I went for the Nano's, not a lot of space up there with high level pipes.
