1. didnt know what mine were ( rear) ,as cheap from ebay but thanks to a search here ( and a link to a website explaining how to work out the required resistance ( (13.5Vx13.5V) ÷(10W-new W) ),my LED's work a treat ( assumed about 1W , therefore needed 22 Ohm 10W ceramic resistor).Oh, I didnt realise that the resistor goes between the +ve and -ve , not in the +ve only
2.evotech tail tidy: beautifully made, thought the bit for the indicators might need a mounting hole re-drill........wrong.
3.I've got the LeoVince system, and it worked fine with that.

Please post after a few hundred miles how it's doing. Some said theirs broke after a short while. I want to order one for myself, just waiting to see if anymore are breaking first.

Yeah; I got confused between the two, R&G and Evo Tech.

From what I gathered; it's the R&G Tidy Tail that always breaks? I ordered a Rizoma kit so we'll see how that works.

Not sure now. I didn't know 2 different company's made it. The one I want is EvoTech sold on ebay shipped from the United Kingdom. It's called Tail Tidy - Fender Eliminator on ebay. I'm using the stock exhaust at least for another year. I "thought" this was the one with breaking problems. Now I have to find out for sure, because my wife was going to order one for my birthday in two weeks....

looks like the R&G one was the one that may break- a few broke, some lasted well.I'd be surprised if this one broke-looks pretty robust.I was really surprised how well made it was, well packaged , good instructions etc.
Only thing I disagreed on was the need to remove side panels- I didnt need to .
