Tikka, I found it on ebay a few years ago, had it fitted ever since and it has gone through the MOT every year with no problems.
It has a slightly smoked lens fitted too.

Mine is from a Yamaha Aerox 100. BMW Funduro has exactly the same. MBK also, i don't know which model though. I am looking for a clear lens, if anyone has a spare let me know.
8) nice rear end mate
I liked this led rear brake light because it follows the raptors theme . Rear cowl was not locked down when i took this photo.

I think one of our Nordic chums has one of these two, but finds the indicator function a bit dim.

I think the nordic chum you were talking was me ? :mrgreen:
I got the darker one on the left side, link to site were I bought it and pic as mounted -> http://www.raptorchapter.org.uk/viewtop ... 7&start=15
And yes indicator leds arent bright enough especially when braking, guys behind you can't see indicators.
Thats what my friends had told me... One reason why I've so big interest in bar end indicators, I like clean look it gives, but rear indicators should also be seen :blush:

MBK Nitro, IIRC. I have a couple of brand new clear white lenses like ozzraptors, but without the red claws, I suspect that postage to Greece from oz would be excessive though, unless you've plans to travel down here for a holiday?

Quite possibly, but I didn't wanna dob you in, that would have been quite un-Australian of me!

Some nice back ends in here, it has to be said. :wink:

Cheers V4, I have the manual, but just may be lacking in the technical competence department.

It's a wet weekend here so I'm riding round in fantasy land, my latest finds are a result for searching for TL1000 power, does anyone competent have anything to say about any of these potential extravagances, you know, when I win Lotto.

Happy June solstice by the way!
