H, after a friend just missed me on a run I decided to replace the tail light I fitted after cutting the guard down.

Before,

Wiring was straight plug in for the indicators, just had to re crimp the three wires for light. The profile of the Thruxton light is slightly different so required a bit of fileing. its the plastic chrome stuff so easy to do and its is hid well with the rubber mounting gasket that still fitted. Picked up the thruxton light on ebay.

After.






Also had to swap the lamps as the newer smaller indicators use 10W so they where flashing pretty fast.
