  1. Hi, not to sure about the lights as they were on the bike when i bought it. I don't even know the make but they don't seem to hit anything when in use. I have taken some pictures to try and show the bracket. Maybe someone else on the forum will know the make?
  2. Appreciated. It's quite easy to remove the front side panels. 3 x button head cap screws to remove using a 4mm allen key. I have taken pictures for you of the LH side. One screw just in front of your left knee, one on the front near to the radiator. The other is higher up at the front, nearer to the top of the fork. All are captive so no nuts to fall off etc. When all three are off the panel just pulls off.
  3. Hello I have a 2016 900 Tracer which I bought a few months ago. Bike is currently garaged until spring time and I fancied fitting led indicators and a tail tidy. Original plan was to modify the original tail tidy by cutting and reducing length of the steel bracket but I didn’t think it would look quite right so bought a chinese special tail tidy. In fact all the parts were from eBay and add up to just over £77. Links are below. Overall time taken was probably about 2.5hrs. I did research this on the forum and hopefully others will find this helpful including the links. Pictures hopefully speak for themselves. I don’t like bullet connectors so all the indicators were connected to the adaptor wiring with the correct connectors by soldering. The number plate light I ended up removing the connector from the original light and soldered it on to the new one. I wasn’t sure about the waterproof-ness of the indicators so filled them with silicone. Also on the rear I used heat shrink over the threads to help keep water out. The new relay was required as the flash rate wasn’t right with the original. First couple of pictures show the original tail and I have still to order a slightly smaller plate to finish it all off.

  4. Cheers. I’m not far from Banchory. I grew up in Echt and I bought the bike from a chap in Crathes
  5. Thanks. As far as I know the forks are stock. I think that was one of the colour combos for 2016 bikes.
  6. Thanks, your weather will be better than ours! 17k miles and is in pretty good condition. I bought it privately and have the original plus 2 more screens as well as some mods all of which I like. I have just installed a tail tidy and led indicators front and back after research on this forum. I took a number of pics and was going to do a how to write up.
  7. Hi, I have a 2016 Tracer 900 bought in August. I have been lurking on here and reading a lot of posts over the last few months. A great friendly forum. I've been away from biking for 15 years, live in Aberdeenshire Scotland and am looking forward to spring and getting out on the road again. Thanks JC
