They both look good. I just want the shortest one available ! Will end up upgrading my signals to a smaller , nicer looking pair. I'm glad our ( USA ) license plates are'nt that big ! Thanks for the pics !

Put my R&G tidy on yesterday. SLIGHTLY disappointed that the whole thing appears to be ever so slightly off to the left. Can't move the bolts so it must be the fender itself. Looks about a billion times better than stock, but the tail of the pani assures that getting it on/off for the track will be a PITA.

I find the stock seat far too slippy, the 'comfort' seat is far better grip wise.

Yeeesss I noticed that too! Thought it was the way I fitted it! Do you also have an exposed bit of metal if you look directly up from underneath?

Sorry nothing to worry about or notice, you have to look real hard for it, when I say exposed I mean it's within a crevasse but isn't covered so that dirt could get in, sorry cant post pics as on iPad! Will try when on my laptop.

Is the seat much higher than the stock OEM seat? If it is, does it put more pressure on your wrist as you are now seating much higher on the bike and not the usual sitting "IN" on the bike? Seat may be more comfortable but since you are perched higher now in the back end, I just want to know if it will put more strain on your wrist now.

I'm 5'10 and current seat height is ok for me. I'm worried that it may put more weight on your wrist? Did you feel any difference in the overall riding ergos?

Please give me your insights on this.

Many thanks,

You have to open the holes a bit on the us plates but it will work as I have it on mine

Tricolor3SF · May 25th, 2012, 04:05 PM

Good too know!!

Like I've said previously, if I can do it, anyone can! Is bit time consuming but worth it! The only wire you have to cut is the small wire for the led light for the plate and put the small connectors on it. But that's the easiest bit. Comes with black and white instructions that has pictures, but I took some time to figure out what some of the pictures were of!

But all in all, really isn't difficult... Enjoy

Just did it with the custom turning lights!

Cool
