    Got the little Rizoma Club indicators last week and was going to wait until my R&G Tail Tidy arrived to fit them but got bored this evening and started putting the fronts on (annoyingly for now at least with a host of wiring/resistors etc as still got the standards on the rear).

    Tiny compared to stock:

    Disappear on the bike:

    But pretty bright when lit (click photo to run video):

    Just hope that ship the tail tidy soon so I can get the job finished properly.

    Following waiting for an R&G tail Tidy, it turning up and being a bit rubbish, I managed to get a Triumph one on Friday so at least both sets of the little Rizoma Club indicators are now on.

    It seems that ownership of a Dremel is essential with this bike as it has been used for both baffle removal on the V&H Silencers and to put a shaped notch in the Triumph Tail Tidy so it can be fitted without the 'homolgation' extension piece.

    All a bit busy underneath, will probably tidy this up a little on a rainy day.

    I decided, for now, not to cut off the reflector.....might help offset a slap for the black and silver plate (which looks far nicer than a legal yellow one!). Very pleased with the debaffled US std silencers which generate a little more bass and general nicely increased noise level with some nice pops and bangs on the overrun.

    Very pleased with the minimal look of the Rizoma Clubs. Not cheap but very nicely made and very bright despite their size

    I set the Clocks to Type-4 once both sets were fitted and the flash rate is good.

    Really enjoying the ride now, passed 800 miles this evening and starting to rev it more and open the throttle a little quicker :)

    Things I'd appreciate:
    1. sound clip of those pipes please
    2. Size details of your plate
    3. A go on it please Mister :)

    Liking that. I think I'll end up butchering my triumph tail tidy also as I literally want a plate and reflector hanging out back nothing else, as tucked up as possible to the seat.

    1. CBA! Not as loud as my 996 or Buell but 'nice' and a definite improvement (visually and aurally) on stock. Still think that the 'cat' does a lot of the silencing on the bike.
    2. 8x7 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291553563598?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT)
    3. hmmmm!

    Wondering if I will wait to see if other brands of pipes become available. Did you get the ecu re-flash done also?

    I was told both when ordering and when I picked them up that there was no refresh required........ Another reason I am convinced that the cat, as the first thing the gases are constrained by, is the driver for both noise and fuelling.
