Very neat. Are the indicators integrated into the tail light?

Yes it is an integrated tail light, but i have retained all the old rear end so prior to the MOT the indicators will be fitted. (Hopefully)

It doesn't actually look so bad because those Mivv cans are a fair bit shorter than standard which helps. You will most probably have to fit some wider spaced indicators because I think those combined rear lights do not meet the UK MOT requirements, which IIRC is something like 25 cm distance so technically they are illegal. But i suppose it depends on how picky they want to be during MOT and your insurance will of course most likely be invalid too unless you tell them.

The spacing for the rear is 180mm.

Darren, the MOT is due in March 2021, i have kept everything i removed from the bike, so if a future owner wants to reverse the tail chop they can reverse engineer the alterations, relatively easy.

the Monster chop kit has the provision to fit indicators so pre-mot, the baffles in the Mivv cans and rear indicators on

Looks mint. It simply works better aesthetically when the tails been finished. The proportions are as they were designed, no ugly bits sticking out anymore

Can't believe people ride around for 'decades' without doing it. Takes less than '24 hours' and then you are no longer in 'isolation' with an ugly tail. Just makes for a better 'Atmosphere' all round. Just get it done before the 'new dawn fades'.
