  Well here it is, Kinda dissapointed at the quality of the plastic base. Also the kit came with the euro plate frame so I had to do some drilling and chopping. I didnt send it back because of desperation of waiting so long for this kit.

Where did you order this from and was the installation of the part that mounts to the bike itself easy? Thanks

This is the DP kit ordered from the dealer. The installation was was basicly a parts swap with the addition of some extra long screws,spacers and brackets etc.. The instructions where poor/dark photo copies which slowed the build. If I had to do it over again, I  would wait for the aftermarket for something less expensive or better quality.

what's funny is that a few threads popped up today about aftermarket versions.

I would like to have plate in front of the rear light and to make it possible to tilt it so it stays deep inside the bike, tilted in the opposite direction (in Croatia we dont have troubles with police if done so)

Then find some smaller tail light with integrated blinkers and I am on horse  waytogo

I agree 100%
 It looks good installed, but for me knowing what I recieved for my money vs. the aftermarket kits that just came out.
Oh well, enough complaining, I'll just enjoy it! Grin
