So many thanks for that.
Didn't know you could put the tail light bulb in the wrong way round.
Also thank the young guitar hero man for suggesting the indicators.
Wealth of info here and a great help to a newbie who is going to hang on to his Buell.
Thanks all.

Yeah, thought I recognised those indicators!
They are good - not too cheesy like some "arrow" indicators and no fake carbon shite. Regular bulbs that are the right brightness and flash at the correct rate without wiring up loads of resistors. You just need to change the bullets on the end.

Tidying up the back on these bikes is real easy way to make the loom better - they are a stubby bike everywhere else.

I've been doing quite a few bits on mine over winter, will have some pictures in next couple of weeks once it comes out of my pal's garage.

I'v been busy too over winter making a new tail tidy and painting a few bit and bobs at work as we dont have any planes to paint any more, so lots of time even got worshops to make a few bit out of stainless, cost me a few favours though! might get round to posting a few pictures after the weekend once its all back together.

Nice idea to use the original number plate holder on your tail tidy job
