    Will post pics up tomorrow, its brand new and the same as fitted to my bike.

    I actually bought this for a mate for his Christmas present but he's only gone and traded his bike in for a new steed before i bloody fitted it for him (un grateful git)

    £35 delivered by courier.

    Nope, 1 plug connector that fits in to where you existing light goes under the seat and 2 wires, 1 left 1 right.

    They need splicing in to 2 wires on the bike ( I used scotch locks but others would use blocks I guess)

    Then you need flasher resistors which are a couple of quid at most.

    If you check out my garage night Dave my mate did a electric diagram for fitting the resistors if you get stuck.
    It's easy enough and they tidy the backend up nicely :)

    Maybe worth recommending Posi-Taps over scotch locks, there a safer way of tapping into a wire. You can get them from RS

    Thanks guy's, electronic engineer by trade so will splice and heat shrink in if needed. Will try to avoid taking the connector off the bike end, eg use the indicator connector and splice from there.

    dave v how do you solder and splice a wire,do you just cut the wires about 10mm long and twist them together,and start soldering, ? which is the right way to do it...............mal

    i would strip both sides, twist them (not together) tin them, put the heat shrink tubing on, then join the wires with solder, not by twisting them together

    Dunno if that's right or wrong, but it's the way i've always done it
