I do like (the concept of) those combined LED lamps like Baz has, just a shame the outer lense only comes in Saxo clear...

Rich - is the bulb blowing all the time (typically the tail light rather than the stop lamp filament), or are the contacts just coming loose?

If the bulb is blowing, I think I have a cure (as suggested by Pete at Protwins, I couldn't take the credit) - you need to rubber mount the rear light unit, and in your case reposition the indicator brackets I made (as you don't want the lamp bolts to be as tight as you need secure them) - I've done this on mine and it works fine now...

I would add this is not a side-effect of the tail chop per se, as GT has his chopped and it's fine (as is Sazza-J's, my own work no less) while Pedro doesn't have a chop, and blows bulbs - it seems to be a Monny/Ducati trait - I blame it on my gentle low-revs riding style... ahem.
