Hmm? Thinks?..... I suppose that set up would be better than just bare ends where the frame has been cut and the rear lighting cluster/number plate is just fixed to one side as an afterthought.

You think that's bad? This morning I made a cup of tea and found myself riffing on Liberty X:

Infected, everyone around me is infected,
You don't even know what you've got,
You've got a really bad cough...

Shocked

The lights in that assembly aren't road/MOT legal. Indicators too close together The entire assembly is 175mm wide and minimum separation distance is 180mm for motorcycle rear indicators. The separation looks to be about 100mm which could easily qualify for a MOT fail as being 'obviously too close'.

Just sayin'...

Don't buy it.
Anyone who fits it will deserve a right good rear-ending.

I hope that helps.

Great respect for the person selling them. A bit of pipe, a tube bender, and a stack of dirt cheap lights. It's a weld-in item and most of the bikes it goes on will never get as far as an MOT, so returns are unlikely. Should be a good profit margin.
