    Did someone order a Chinese?? Yep, gloss black seat cowl, despite the bike being metallic black its a pretty good match, fits not bad either but did require a little alteration! Plate arrived too, have run a 7x5 forever but decided to go with an 8x6 on this occasion, don't want to attract too much attention from the Fuzz, especially with these cans! :rolleyes::eek::D

    Yeah it looks like a pig of a job though, I think the battery tray needs to come out. Then you have to relocate the rear brake fluid reservoir!:rolleyes:

    Easy job on the 04 & 08 R1 had to take the battery tray out on the 09 Blade to take the pegs off but it looks so much better, maybe a job for you Paul on the winter lay up I'm sure it will be worth it .

    Used to see this one around locally but not seen it for a while - sounded epic even just burbling along. Looks amazing as well.

    Buy a length of tygon tube and extend it under the seat or frame, it can be located remotely well out of the way of the mc.

    Yeah, I've tried both Brad, but tentatively......im trying not to damage anything. Mirrors a little loose so I'm just seeing what's in there will enable me to tighten up a bit !
