Hi bazaa. Sure you have already looked but eBay is good for parts new & used. R & G rad guard fits well. Not sure about the fuelling mod? I have no problem at all with the fuelling it's a combination of punchy engine, very light throttle and firm suspension. It's a modern curse of emissions. There's many many threads on here dealing with it and lots you can do to manage it.

These are the LED's I put in mine.

These have the control circuit integrated into the bulb, which is good when fitting into the Tourer as there is nowhere to stash a control box.

AND, yes that price is for a pair!

ECU reflash...are you experiencing throttle snatch?   If so, there is a process to address that without software updates.  ECU Soft Reset and throttle play adjustment takes care of it for the most part.

Have you had any overheating/cut out issues with these ??

None.

Also have the same but with the external control circuit on my Blackbird.

When I first fitted them into the Tourer I didn't think they were as good as in the BIRD but these can be easily rotated within the fixing
and once I turned them 90 degrees they were good.
(The main beam seems to have more side reflector so by turning 90 it aimed the LED's at the reflectors.)

So for the dipped.....should I have the LED chips Horizontal or Vertical ??

I set them so the LED chips were facing the sides and felt there was a further improvement.

Sorry, I've just re read what I put above and where I put main, maybe, it should have been dipped.

The High beam reflector is circular so I don't think it makes a lot of difference
