theres a job i never want to do again . IMG_1347 by henri briggs, on Flickr . usually putting a headset on is a 5 minute job ,but this one with the bigger loom was a nightmare . IMG_1348 by henri briggs, on Flickr . 3/4 of hour persuading lots of wires through a very small gap ,without damaging them ,or scratching new paint .H

That's an awfully crowded looking headset. And also a smallie with blinkers looks so wrong to me
Must be nice to thread on the speedo cable.

Headset looks fine, plenty of space in there. No i dont like indicators on a smallie but thats what they have so i would have kept them
