Right, open up paint... its in programs, accessories...

Then once open select File -> open and paste in this address...

It will pull down the image and open it, now if you then select -> file -> print preview you should find it looks right.

Use the full address not the shortened version above... click it and copy it out of the address if you need to.

do I get a free one now??....

nah seriously ill be making one shortly...although laser cutting sounds good.....

not sure about that one mate, most people making thier own tail tidy would buy a rsend number plate baracket and mini indi's...dont think there is anything about for people to make there own...i may be wrong tho....

They look easy enough to make up....

Just of out interest what would people be willing to pay for the complete package..i.e tail tidy + number plate/indicator hanging bracket... would be able to make in stainless and or aluminum...

Just trying to gauge interest and possible prices.

depends how good a job u do.......

think u would be better askin this question in the talk and issues section probably get a better response.....

to be fair its probably not something ur gonna sell hundreds of straight away...
however people buying sv's all the time and id say a lot of them look at this as one of thier first mods as its makes a big difference to the look of the bike....

also ebay would be a good place to sell also.....

if u wanna make one (not the bracket i have an rsend one ready to be fitted) and send it too me id fit it straight away and u could use my bike to advertise it!!! just a thought...saves me messing around cutting and filing my own!!!

the thing is the metal can be bought for a fiver....a few metal blades and the template i gave u and thats about the only cost (plus £15-£20 bracket) so to do urself would cost about £20 - £25, so if u could sell the lot (the template part and the bracket) for about £35 - £45 id say ud get some takers....im guessing it would cost next to nothing for you to make anyway....
