ordered a numberplate,used the link that tom-e posted

whats the general consensus on how to attach it? ive always used plastic bolts/washers but tempted for a cleaner sticky pad method,provided it don't fall off

wazza300 · 25 Nov 2015 at 18:29

should be fine where I take it,hes not too fussy

have your lines come yet benji?

wazza300 · 25 Nov 2015 at 18:42

I think I might re route my rear line,im not sure if I have it the correct way

they don't come with any instructions as to which way round they go,the front are straight forward but the rear can be fitted either way round

wazza300 · 25 Nov 2015 at 19:37

yeah I think that end should be at the lever end,and the straight piece end at the caliper (or I could flip it over so it curves downwards? ill need to try it)

I tried to follow the original lines and hit the stop piece on the caliper,but it looks a bit odd

wazza300 · 26 Nov 2015 at 14:21

redone it now,tried every other combo and it was making it touch the exhaust,pretty much as i had it before only i went under the stop on the caliper rather than above

wazza300 · 26 Nov 2015 at 14:40

I'm not fussed tbh,its too new and clean for me,I'm used to old nails, its gonna be a mission keeping it clean and looked after

If its too heavy on petrol it will be up for sale

There's a boat load of jobs to do on my other bike aswell

plate arrived today,good quality...stuck it on with sticky pads

wazza300 · 27 Nov 2015 at 19:08

its illuminated well,but it seems to shine a lot of white light outwards aswell,i might unbolt the led light and bend the bracket up then angle down towards the numberplate more,so its not so dazzling from behind

got it from them

wazza300 · 27 Nov 2015 at 19:19

nope,some don't have them though,not sure but mine looks the same as this

wazza300 · 27 Nov 2015 at 20:00

benji has one fitted,maybe he can post some close up pics of it

wazza300 · 27 Nov 2015 at 21:46

Yeah,but look to see if its just the numberplate light or if there's also a black plastic shroud or cover over it aswell

I think mines missing but not sure

wazza300 · 27 Nov 2015 at 22:00

You can buy the whole light on eBay but its £12 and I only need the shroud,its too dazzling without it

I'll email them and the person I bought it off and ask for partial refund

Mine looks like the one in the bottom pic

wazza300 · 28 Nov 2015 at 15:05

yours is the same as mine benji,ive emailed r&g,see what they say,ive stuck a thin slither of black electrical tape over half on mine its reduced the glare from behind

wazza300 · 28 Nov 2015 at 15:21

same as mine

as for your loose light theres a rubber band type sleeve that it slots into,might be worth a check,its easy to undo,just pop the pushpins out and undo all the allen key bolts with the rider/pillion seat removed and the left/right rear plastic bodywork comes away

look on youtube on how to fit integrated tail light for zx6r 2011 and it shows you

wazza300 · 30 Nov 2015 at 18:42

great !!

cant wait to see the pics,they do look far better than bog standard/stock black rubber ones

wazza300 · 3 Dec 2015 at 13:48

got me a shroud,turns out it was missing one,they just push fit onto the numberplate light so are easily lost,might put a drop of glue on mine (its far better with it fitted,no dazzling white light from behind now)

also made me a ghetto reflector bracket out of some hacksawed damaged fairing panel

wazza300 · 3 Dec 2015 at 14:26

"Yes it should come with the shroud, if you would like to send me your address I can get one shipped out for you"

yeah they sent me one,whats up with my reflector? I don't like those tiny round ones they look like a zit that needs popping

wazza300 · 14 Dec 2015 at 17:58

time for me to extenda my fender,the zx10r 08-10 are a straight fit for the 09-11 zx6r for anyone wondering,dont listen to the "only fit this model" baloney

was hard to find one for a 2011 zx6r

wazza300 · 14 Dec 2015 at 18:18

self tappers,ill try and screw from underneath without poking through to the painted side

if I pull it off ill post up some pics

wazza300 · 14 Dec 2015 at 19:09

whats that scooby? I don't think I can self tap it without it going all the way through the mudguard,the plastic is just too thin,i could plastic weld it on

could Loctite glue it on but I just don't trust glues,some black tiny self tap screws you'd hardly notice and you could remove it easily if need be
