Next box.... a Bulldock Z1R tail tidy jigsaw puzzle in stainless steel. (No instructions!!)



Fred

If you find two hole that line up put a bolt in it....

If it looks like a crane take it to biots and start again.

There can't be too many permutations.

Nice one Gary

Lining the holes up- that's the plan! I'm sure it will bolt together when the plates cant be bent that way, so that should limit the permutations.



Fred

looking forward to seeing this Freddy

There's usually a picture on the box lid with jigsaws

True!

The pictures that come with 5 piece jigsaws usually involve Fireman Sam or Peppa Pig though....

I'll work it out.

After an hour or two's fiddling, The Bulldock tail tidy is fitted. Everything lines up nicely, a really well made bit of kit, it just needs fitting in a certain sequence or you are constantly disassembling and reassembling it.

The only downside is you lose the indicators, common sense really when you look at the standard number plate bracket arrangement but I can either fit some Z1000 indicators in the vestigial frame brackets or dispense with them completely for the full cafe racer look.

The rear end looks less cluttered and nicely skinny now but it definitely needs a smaller number plate. The old plate looks like a friggin air brake now. The back end will look even cooler when the extended PMC tail is fitted. Just waiting for some new tailpiece rubbers from ZPower as the old ones are hard and perished.

We want some pics mate

These plates are for next to nowt , i got one about a month ago and they're spot on .
I went for legal size to avoid any grief , Harris pipe is noisy enough

......................... WAITING

Sorry, had a crisis this morning, nipped out to take the photos and found a pool of petrol dripping off the bike. Fortunately, the stiff petrol tap was on my 'to do' list so I had a repair kit ready.

Anyway..here's the tail tidy fitted...

Thanks for waiting...

While I'm on, I was exploring the issue of indicators or no indicators and I think that my commute through the second city probably warrants substance over style. I've noticed that the front indicators fit rather nicely into the vestigial indicator mounts on the frame. Does anyone know where I can get another pair of front indicators from? Pattern are probably the best option.
