If its cable operated then you just plug in both ends of the cabel, if its electric, then you may be better off with Original clocks.





Bar end indicators, seen them never fitted them, 2 reasons:


one, the cabling has to go through the bars, which requiers drilling for exit holes, which is a PITA.


two, there the first things to break on impact with shed door, gate, wall, and the ground.


have seen them fitted well to radiator guards or a bracket (same area)

Lol, the Hornet is a streetfighter isn't it?

no...


misconception,


Streetfighters are bikes born from parts normally because the donor bike is an insurance Cat write off,


manufacturers have jumped on this wagon with branding, but a fightered GSXR is not the same as a hornet from the factory..


it seems nowadays that taking off a fairing and adding some tacky bling and a cheap headlight fairing makes a bike a "fighter".. it doesn't it just looks cheap. see the 02 Corsa's at a McDonalds near you, same style (ohh and O2 = Bolts ons)
