    Morning guys, after my second failed attempt at fitting the R and G tail tidy I think it's time to ask for help from you lot that might have fitted one yourself. I am struggling to locate the indicator connection/plug which is poorly shown on instructions in the attached image. I have taken out the battery and fuse box, still couldn't find it. It's a 2010 abs model.

    I have fitted one to previous bikes without this much hassle, wishing now I'd paid the dealer 60 quid for fitting. Any help appreciated.

    Indicator connectors are under rear seat, inside a black water proofing sleeve thing
