How did the fairing and rear seat unit fit? Just that i was thinking of getting the original shape Tyga fairings.
Front took a bit of time to fit but they fit perfect, rear fits fine but there's a big gap at the back .
Between Under the back lights and the number plate holder.
Might upload a pic later

I guess I don't need a number plate night coz of the rear brake light shines down ?

Fucking A mate carbon looks great!
I agree on the mirrors and indicators, original ftw but if that's your thing that's all good.
With regards to the tyga original shape seat units, mine fits great, needed a few tweeks but the quality is top notch.

Front indicators were flush on the old fairing and rear had seen better days in fact they didn't work lol
Well I haven't bolted the seat unit down yet but will have a look 2moro

You wouldn't have thought they would have finished it like that but either way its minor. I must say i wasn't taken by the carbon fibre fairing from the pictures on the Tyga website but thats looks great! I also agree to the comment about the silencers matching. If i get a bonus at Christmas (pigs might fly) i know which fairing im going for now

Yer that was the reason y I bought the carbon cans. My scorpion can was scratched and wot not so I thought I might as well buy the cans while I'm at it.
I still have a rear carbon fibre huger with chain guard to go on and I already put my carbon swing arm cover on :)
I just hope my jets come soon

How are going to get on with an MOT with that setup? I have the single carbon can and i have my MOT this month. Was worried with the noise level thats all. MOT places seem to be cracking down on noisy silencers but there are no provisions to fit a baffle

Well my bike still has a few months mot left. I will take it to the person I bought it from he works in a bike shop and he said when the bike needs an mot he will do it for £20 lol
Not sure how much an mot is but cant be much more than that
Anyway back to the mot and silencer the bike is loud but it's not like so loud that u will get deaf. Gona try and find out how many decibels is the max for an mot and c how loud mine is

I have baffles being made at the moment for all the TYGA cans single and doubles they will be £14.95 each and all you will need to do is drill a small hole in the end cap to fit them with a bolt that scews in so they will be removable
