    Looks brilliant! Do they fit neatly on the bike without a mass of wires?

    @mikesouthby has some photos of the wiring on his post led headlamps! It's a bit of a squeeze to get all the wire, box and heatsink in but it does go and with caps back on you wouldn't notice any difference.

    Will try and get a photo tonight or tomorrow night of how they perform on a country road

    Thanks Steve, there are quite a few differences on the 2014/2015 exhaust system, larger diameter manifold down pipes, larger diameter from down pipe to slip on, cat is in the downpipe not in the silencer, so going to make sure the 02 sensor is still the same size fitting as my old 2011 bike, if so I have one ready to go. Now I can see why my RaceFit off my 2011 bike wouldn't have fitted.

    Differences in pics

    Bottom Picture shows 2014/2015 downpipe on the left and pre 2014 on the right.

    In the picture below, you can see the difference in the diameter of the 2014/2015 bike on the left is larger than the downpipe on the right which is a 2008 - 2013 downpipe, hence why a slip on from the earlier bike wont fit a 2014/2015.

    Took the wheels out to swop front discs over to new wheels, fitted new 90 degree valves ready for tyres to be fitted in the morning.

    Also fitted new titanium pinch bolts, it's not till you compare the old with new titanium you see how much they have discoloured and corroded

    Busy day on the bike again, had new tyres fitted by @arthurbikemad onto the OZ piega's, then fitted the wheels along with the front and rear titanium spindles.

    Then went out for a bit of a ride to scrub the tyres in and ended up doing 140 miles! New wheels and tyres feel good
