    Not really posted on here much I hope this is the right place,

    So I made a few updates to my 2008 Blade a few weeks ago I ordered the integrated tail light, tail tidy number plate holder and the number plate light.

    I have to say TST have got their stuff on lockdown, great instructional videos everything was easy to fit and made a huge difference to the back end look, I would like to ask if anyone knows where I can find a carbon fibre under tail though to cancel off the number plate mount, I can find blank ones but no carbon fibre which I would thnk look awesome along with some other carbon goodies.

    I also purchased pillion pegs for my mrs to occasionally enjoy the bike with me but decided to get them powder coated in black so they don't stand out anywhere near as much.

    Let me know your thoughts guys I really would like to get the alternator and engine cover done in black too over the winter has anyone else had this down?

    I like this, but the placing of the No. plate concerns me with Plod being the way they are.

    Have you had any issues with our friendly boys in blue yet?

    I'm just fitting one of these integrated lights to mine.

    I've got a spare Evotech tail tidy, so im going to remove the indcator mounts (it came free with a subframe I bought, not sure id buy one just to chop it up) and use that for the number plate which will mean it's in the usual place.

    I'll put a picture up when i've fitted it.

    Cheers
    Mike

    Hi

    I've just fitted the tst integrated light to mine and the indicators are flashing too quick.

    Did you have to use the balance resistors?

    If so where do you wire them, mine was second hand and didn't have the resistors with it.

    Cheers
    Mike

    In fairness I've been to quite a few bike nights and been followed by cops but had no issues I believe hays because I have the TST industries led light to light the number plate up it's still visible but that's so far ....

    Around 10 days I believe, there was a customs charge as well as with any order in from states but definitely worth it in my opinion
