| A used spare tail, the tiny Rizoma LED, a hacksaw and some pop rivets and a new tail emerged. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]... and a ride with the EF28 map made it a perfect day.  Svein | |

| Quick question? Are the indicators in their original spot still? Just asking because I fear my 'Tail Tidy' arrangement may foul the pannier set-up I have on order because of the indicator location. I really don't mind my current set up but if it is a problem with the panniers I'll need to find an alternative and that looks very nice.

| I'm pretty sure it's on the same spot Pete, as he started his cutting below the indicators line...
Svein, good job Sir. Good thinking. | |

Correct, it is the same bracket at the original spot. The plastic still is quite sturdy, so no problemo. Svein | |

| I went the harder way with my now departed 09...
I made a metal support from scratch that accept the stock signals in the same location pretty much.
I still have that piece but didn't bolt it on my 2013 yet. Ben lazy... | |

| Come test it on Bitumen X, it'll soon loosen those rivets.
My custom mudguard needs re-welding .................. again.
Just noticed my headers are cracked it the 2-1 junction. |

My backup plan involves bucking an aluminium thin plate at work to hold the license plate. Still possible to make a through bolted connection behind the indicator bracket using countersunk from the inside. Trying to look on the brigth side, a cracked header would open the possibilities of getting something new and expensive, titanium maybe? Sorry, hope you get it fixed all right!  Or the obvious solution; go for a GRiSO  Svein | |

| Unfortunately the cracked headers are my satin black ceramic coated custom made exhaust system. |
