I actually really, really like this whole bike (aside from the headlights looking a little.... off, I think it's the side mounting plates, Street Triple headlights would look better.).
Looks like an MV F4 tail to me.

Maybe a Ducati tail?

Cheers for this, I really like the rear end... I'm trying to source a replacement battery tray at the moment so I can cut mine and still have a intact one. How exactly did you mount the plate there, have you made a little bracket up? And no indicators?

Hi

The plate is screwed to what's left of the black plastic.

I've ridden and managed to get mot'd for the last few years without indicators and just hand signals when needed.

I've recently bought some tiny led indicators to fit during the winter though, they're about the size of a pound coin.

Cheers, Andy.

I've bought some of these for the front and rear, just thinking where to stick them (fnaar fnaar).

Ah excellent, Do you have any more pics of your bike? It looks great, especially any technical ones of the number plate fitment?

Hi

I'm crap at links and such but if you look at a thread titled the mongrel you'll see the only (out of date) pics of the bike.

No pics of the number plate fitment I'm afraid. I seem to remember hacking off all the black plastic I could, even the steel bracket for the plate.

I was left with 2 large holes into the under seat storage which were sealed with some gaffer tape engineering. One of those permanent, temporary things.

Cheers, Andy.

Hi Rane

Those cans were very loud but believe it or not i did get an mot with them fitted (a very friendly deaf tester!).

I sold the tiny cans to a forum member a while ago as I now have one of Kayla's 2-1 systems which even has a baffle fitted in the can until i get round to removing it.

Cheers, Andy.

That has quite a nice allround look but what the hell is going on with that exhaust link pipe?! Could he have not found an exhaust bend anywhere?! :roll:

Hi Adrian

Got mine on ebay, nos from Padgets.

Don't see many though and they are usually pricey.

Cheers, Andy.
