    Good job Kevin, not too difficult is it really!

    I put the alloy spacers on the inside though mate, they don't stand out so much then ;)

    I did wonder about the placing of the spacer but then noticed that the shape of the spacer matched to contours of the black plastic indicator stem. If the spacer was to go where you've put it the shape wouldn't matter. And to be fair either way works.
    I think it took a couple of hours, from start to finish with several checks on the Graves' YouTube video.
    I note the instructions point you in the direction of mustard bikes' YouTube video. So perhaps it is a mustard bikes TT. I prefer the Graves video for some parts of job and the other video other parts of the job.
    I'll be able to test it when I get my battery charged :)

    Nice idea with the little cut out in the plate to get extra rear end clearance!! ;)

    Never seen that before :) Good job mate!

    Very true.

    For a guy who lets his battery go flat it's a really good sign of a 'thinking' brain!! :D;)

    I'll see your black backed and raise you a carbon fibre backed plate with a nod to the smiling assassin! (if you can excuse the crap grainy photo and the dirt!)

    Silly question - but does anyone know if this fits a "standard" 2017 model? (not SP)

    Question was probably asked because the two models have different rear sub frames. You're quite right though!:)

    I don't mind it. It's concealed by the light anyway. I'm more concerned with the black screw instead of yellow between the 6 and 8:).

    And for the record, I prefer 8 x 6 plates. Small enough to look neater, but large enough to not be pulled over.;)
