    Anyone fitted one?

    I was supposed to have mine fitted at youles Manchester but whoever sent them it didn't supply the indicator brackets. So down to me to fit it, brackets arrived today, completely useless unless I want the indicators facing each other!!!

    No retaining nuts either that would secure the bolts that go through the tail tidy and fix it to the bloody bike

    Have to say my patience with this dealer well and truly shot through...

    Oh and how do you remove the front indicators to fit little ones?

    Anyone near the wirral fancy showing me tomorrow lol

    Are they really a bad dealership? I'll beat it in mind if I ever need them as they're one of three in a triangle to who's nearest me, Manchester, Shipley or Doncaster

    I am sure plenty of people will give them a thumbs up

    I just happen to be a bit miffed and none to happy with them.

    I am not telling people to avoid them but at this stage I am not recommending them.

    I have emailed them about the tail tidy issue and will give them the chance to respond.

    How they respond will directe in my final opinion of them.

    Hi gaz, I've put a tidy on mine, got it from square deals a newbonneville one I put some wiring instructions here . Putting it together here one thing to do is put rubber trim round the outside of the metal plate to protect the frame paintwork. Are you sure the brackets aren't under seat ones? Any help just ask.

    Problem solved

    The brackets attach to the shock mount/frame and NOT under seat or on the tidy itself.

    The dealer got back to me today and explained adding a pic

    It would have saved a lot of my time if this had been done from the start

    So now fitted and looking good

    YOULES would do them selves a favour if
    A. The prepared in advance of a job to ensure issues can where possible be corrected BEFORE the customer is in the shop.
    Prior planning prevents piss poor performance as the saying goes.
    B. Let the customer know how/what/where to fit something if it is left to the customer. Instructions would be helpful!!

    I don't think that is too much to ask?????

    Like I said I won't bad mouth them but I hope they learn from their mistakes. I am sure plenty of people have positive dealings with them.

    Hi Marcelo
    Is it easier to buy from USA or uk? There are plenty of online shops in USA and a few over here. I often use squaredeals for parts and TTP for tuning in uk.
    In the USA there is British custom And new bonnieville amongst many others
     
  9. Good morning Crispey. I believe that in both places have difficulties buying because the import policy in my country the charges absurd rates for imports. I have friends who travel a lot, so I can ask them to bring parts for me. If you can send me some options I'm grateful.

    Have bought a Motone fender eliminator with the alleged plug and play wiring.

    Only 3 wires from the LED Lucas style tail light which can only go into 3 wires but the brake light is permanently on?

    Run out of time to start messing about but any ideas those who have fitted one?
