Quality, chris!
I'd've made it a bit shorter tho, so the indy's are tucked in a bit.
I reckon you could knock a few of them out....

Nice job with bracket. Nice job with bike. Tell me did you buy it like that and how much did you have to pay for something in that condition.

damn nice machine-work on the bracket, and top repairs on the bike... seems like you got yourself a bargain kidda.

i got me an evoluzione number plate bracket, seems very similar to yours, but then i'm not capable of making such an item. good work fella. i'm sure there may be a few peeps on this site who would be interested...

oh yeah, keep us posted on discrete indicators, i too have been struggling to find anything dead cool.

I have fitted the kellermann micro 1000 indicators. for some reason the system will not let me upload a picture so u2u me if you would like pictures.

Bought the set of four from www.carbonworld.de

Quick delivery from Germany, my set (on a 748) needed the kellermann resistors to get the flash rate right, fitted a set to a 998 and did not require resistors.

The indicators are bright and E marked TUV approved etc the rear set are fitted with the carbon bracket that mounts behind the reflector

I think that they tidy the rear end nicely
