wannaride- it looks like your exhaust is installed incorrectly. Thespacer is not suppose to be between the mounting bracket. Its suppose to be on the inside. Look at the instructions on the Yoshimura site. I did it the same way you did but thought something just wasn't right. Let me know what you think.

The Paint matches up pretty well...its more white than the pearl on my bike, but becuase its an "undertail" the light doesnt hit it too much, so it appears a little darker anyway from the shadow.
The hardest part was getting the stupid little tabs in!..the holes didnt line up, so you really have to pull the two sides of your tail together...and WD40 the rivets..lol that was the only hard part for me.
deerslider- did you get the same one? when you do get and need some help pm me! and ill help ya!

Well the one i bought uses 18 LED lights, whereas most only use about 12-14..but yeah there actually pretty bright, a lot brighter than i thought the only thing im going to change is that the running light and brake light, theres not too much of a difference, at least if you were in a car their wouldnt be to the naked eye there is. buti bought a light bar/strip to install on the back as another brake light.
Hand signals are a good idea with any undertail kit, you can ask most riders..
when i get out of work tonight ill post some pics up with the turn signals if i can catch them with the cam

Well i took the cable off the lock stuck the lock thru the outside of the crappy kit put the cable back on the lock zipped tied the cable to the frame so when u turn the key it doesnt take the whole lock with it it gives it a tighter turn.As far as the lock goes ,thering that goes around the lock from the inside that holds it from popping off the kit i just squize tighend it.

i went to honda and ordered the lock plate, and it works perfect, like it was never moved.
You just have to be patient and get the right parts to make it work. I didnt zip tie anything.
