One of the lads on the .com forum was very helpful and sent over a solid works drawing for an alternative tail tidy. My brother has a 3d printer and did the honours. I'll be fitting it tomorrow... Looks a bit weird but should make it very "camera friendly" as it were...   |

Well, this is the thing....passed in front of a paddy wagon last weekend - they could have followed but they didnt....if i look from behind from a car drivers view its not too bad....pardon the pun but the angle im going for is the speed camera angle....the advent of "smart motorways has forced my hand.....ive got no problem getting knicked for speeding if im actually speeding but im not taking it up the arse for 71, 72, 73 etc etc which it looks like thats the way its going...
Just to add to this ( as i was just thinking about it ) when was the last time someone actually got pulled over for speeding for example....unless your doing some breakneck speeds (100+) and generally behaving like a twat to other drivers, for me it was 20 years ago....they (the plod) i believe are getting lazy (to our advantage) - i think they now tend to let the technology do the job for them...its far easier to sit in the back of a van with a packed lunch and let the camera thin out the herd without having to lift a finger....or just press a button on a keyboard to lower the threshold for the gantry on the m5..easy.
To that end it'll make me feel a bit safer on the roads if for example im running with the speed of the traffic and a camera van harvests hundreds of riders/drivers in a day...

Like this. Looks very Tidy. Wish it fitted my gen. My one has gone rusty as they do. Needs replacing or powder coating properly.

It may fit....its just a square mounting point and very easy to drill...

Gonna measure today. Mine has the indicators on. Would need to get the tail light with them integrated also. Did look. Yours are integrated.
Think I am supposed to leave the stalks on as well if I have integrated tail light cluster

I did try getting a integrated before and it didn't fit right. The spacing was all off

but here you go... Done pics as I fitted it...having said that when I stood it up against the wall it looked and looked from behind at what I perceive would be a drivers eye view.... Not too bad...
