Yeah I know
bit of a trial and error in the end, no other real option as the cans are pretty close together.
As to the exact steps...basically the existing indicator holes fouled the cans once the indicators were installed, so my remedy was to utilise the stays you provided to increase the height of the holes for the indicators. Essentially the stays are bolted inside the tailtidy using the lower holes (i.e. as they were designed but swivelled right up inside the tailtidy) so that the upper holes sit higher than the original indicator holes. I also needed to flatten out the stays somewhat as you can see.
Other than that, some slight bending of the side tabs was required to fit inside the cans, and I cut the bottom of the tidy off as prefer the look of the number plate on it's own without reflector etc underneath. Throws a bit of spray on my Ventura bag in the wet but nothing major, don't ride in the wet too much if I can avoid it anyway.
Other than all that....installed as per instructions!
PS clearances are very tight, ~3mm either side of the pipes (and that's spacing the pipes out 3mm each side also), been on there for several months now and ridden daily, going great.
Cheers
