Agreed. Sorry l forgot to mention that l have my own spare for myself to doctor. I also have a working plan to try and adapt the existing licence plate, reflector and lamp holder.

3 cheapish tail units on eBay now!

My mate found us some LED tail tidys online hopefully fitting mine at some point this week , it really changes the back end I will post some pics as soon as I fit mine.

If anyone has a spare under seat tool kit for an XB9 in the correct bag I’m missing mine and I’d like to buy one , seen a few on eBay in America but the postage is more than the flaming toolkit !
