You won't need an engineering degree.

Not sure on your bike but basically yes, any issues just take a run up to peterhead, I'll give you a help and take a run out with you too.

Pretty much, took me a bit of fiddling about to do mine, but I don't know a socket wrench from my asshole.

But it depends on the bike. I didn't like the one for the Striple due to strange positioning of the indicators.

I ended up purchasing an R&G one which is a piece of ill fitting plastic sh!te Mad

R&G, who says you need to buy new. My R&G was £20 on a gsxr forum still in original box unmarked.

Had no issues with my Evotech fitting fine but quite a lot of the original bike had to be discarded to fit it. That was on an SFV though and, to be fair, there's quite a lot of original bike you'd want to discard.

I have an R&G, the garage that I bought my bike from agreed to replace it as the bulb had gone. The new one also didn't work so they had to fit a third. I guess I just suffered with a dud batch but I wouldn't recommend the R&G ones.

Evotech it Thumbs Up
