sorry baph but sum1 was gonna point this out!!! LOL

Hehe, yeah sorry for the confusion. Nicked the photo to save me hunting down the camera and heading out to the garage. If it's just an LED that won't interfere with the alarm when I move it then great, I can just swap the tidy in without messing up my datatool! Ta for the advice

On other news, my Blue Flame Evo was pointed out to me by the mechanic who did my chain and sprockets recently to be falling apart. It's very wobbly at the point where the can joins to the pipework, seems to have 4 cracks at 45, 135, 225, 315 degrees, in an 'x' formation. Oh joy...sigh.

how long u had that on the bike!!??

does it not have a lifetime warranty?

Hmmm, not sure tbh, I bought the bike 2nd hand with 3k miles on it and the first owner had put the can on so not sure where the documentation for it is. But it's been on for 4 years/18,500 miles now, nearly all without the baffle in (don't know if that increases vibration as a by-product of getting louder).

Heard some people have had problems with Blue Flames before, but seemed to be rivets popping and packing coming out which aint the problem here. Will give them a ring.

Tried swapping over the tidy last night, no problem at all, though I lost the light so I'm finishing it off this morning. Wire to that alarm blinking light seems to have come off though so I'll have to work out how to redo it, with solder perhaps, or just leave the light as a dummy thing.
