Sorted an integrated rear light out so I could dump the whole back end, now I just need to see if I can mould a decal in place, if not I'll get a 1 x 3 on the battery box by the shock.

The indicators are very close, is it easy to see which way you're indicating from 20+ metres? Looks very tidy though.

I always think these things aren't such a great idea as they confuse it a bit, its hard to tell what exactlys going on and it kind of looks more lke a funky led disco light show some times rather than a clear indication.
I think cars with indicators set inside the brake lights are equally unclear.
Maybe led indicators on stems would be a better idea? But then it probably already had those...! Don't get the preoccupation with changing these small but important details myself.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has trouble with these. VW spring to mind.

Nice bike but I do wonder why someone buys a new bike, spends a fortune on it then flogs it on.

How much is the insurance for your s1000rr. What level of cover? I tried gocompare to get an idea but they dont insure s1000rr's for some reason.

Removed those HUGE frame sliders today and fitted the ilmberger frame covers today, they look awesome and blend in all the other ilmberger carbon.

Got to be up at 5am for a because a mate wants to do a fucking photoshoot when the suns rising up in the peaks, I'll get some proper photos tomorrow.

Very nice mate and I love the plate! Thumbs Up

Keep it in slick mode so you can whack it on one wheel if you ever need to hide the plate. Wink
