I think you have just shown one very good way we can combat these to$$P0t$, sometimes, slight seconds, or less than perfect fitting, or unique items etc do make help. The fact yours were the first MM ever made for these bikes, and the less than perfect quality control has really helped. Even though in this case the guy appears to have got away, he's under focus now and so will his communications, mates and contacts. You have provided a piece of the puzzle, it's down to Mr & Mrs Plod to put the bits together now.

Now, I need a replacement headlight (my internal adjusters have dissolved into a duty mess and my ligh 'bounces' as I ride ! ......... I'll be searching eBay
