Maybe interesting to some...
I had a conversation with someone who also adapted the Duke 390 (2017 - 2023) tail tidy to his 801; and also kept the stock exhaust and the stock indicators.
Even after a longer trip and some hard riding in the twisties, the indicator at his bike did not melt.
The difference is, that he did no riding with higher rpms over a longer period of time; that's what I did (on the highway at about 160 - 170km/h) when my indicator started melting.
Finally, if riding with high rpms for extended periods is not part of your riding, the indicator might not be a problem to you.

... No, I don't have the dyno results.To me it's more kind of a design "weakness" from Husqvarna.
What surprises me more is that so far no manufacturer of tail tidies has succeeded in developing a truly attractive and technically fully functional tail tidy.
If the indicator is placed at the right position (high enough), it also works with the stock exhaust and also the stock indicators; maybe even without a heat shield at the indicator.
The adapted 1290 tail tidy works absolutely fine; maybe it would also work even without the added heat shield.

With the Top Block Racing tail tidy it ended like this after some km on german highway, with throttle fully opened, even with the protector
The solution is to buy mini turn signals that fit deeper into the exhaust.
Remember that they need resistance to work, otherwise the error will appear on the display.
I recommend the Rizoma EE164H

That would indeed be very nice!!
Problem would be that the tail light would have to be even wider as according to the European requirements it needs to be at least 180mm between the indicators.

They are some aftermarket Duke tail tidies that are adapted to the 801.
Here some links to the various versions:
Duke 390 / 2017-2023
Duke 390 / 2024+
Super Duke R 1290

I hadn't thought of this and it is obvious! I have some m-blaze Motogadget ones I may try. Will need to investigate the resistors and would like to get proper KTM/Husky terminals to make them plug and play if possibleThe solution is to buy mini turn signals that fit deeper into the exhaust.
