I put two 'sets' of a tailtidy, small number plate and led indicators all for under �50 (each bike) from ebay on both mine and a mates R.

DNA airfilters and Kev's mods are a must!!

I bought one of these and paid 3x more as I believed it to be made by POLISPORT .

It wasnt and then bought two more for �7.00 each that looked the same and when they arrived from China they were indeed exactly the same.

If your going to buy this type then make sure you get one with a reflector or buy the stick a stick on reflector too.

I trimmed a small V shape out of the number plate section,approx an inch below the light. I then used a heat gun to warm the plastic and bent it to the angle I wanted. Filled the gap with plastic metal,but two pack resign glue would also work.

Final 'tip' is to use some thread lock on the lens retaining nuts and or swoop them for nylock nuts..I did both
