What is the measurement of the gap between the dB killer and the overall hole of the exhaust?

Looks like a plastic composite? That would be cheeky for the £200 price they charge. Would also make it less durable.

A web-find of the "new" version of the Duke 390 2024+ tail tidy, that is now also "produced from strong composite" instead of aluminum...

FYI: I got a notice that the Evotech tail tidy is now available.

One caveat about the Evotech is their exhaust heat guard fits the Euro turn signals which are smaller (and brighter) than the USA signals. The exhaust heat guard does not fit the USA DOT signals.

@CurveRider what do you think of the composite-material; does it seem high-quality and sturdy?

It looks really good. I think you should buy some Euro-spec turn signals, much prettier!

LOVE your licence plate!

Yes, it is sturdy, rigid and seems well engineered--the tag plate is aluminum. I’ve no complaints except the heat guard I previously mentioned which I should have anticipated.

Thanks. I'm forced to research replacement turn signals now that I've partially melted one. The Euro signals do look good and I'm looking at smaller ones also. It gets a bit involved and confusing with PNP or splice issues, resistors or load equalizers, etc. I'd rather have short signals than use a heat shield but I am open to solutions.

Thanks for the feedback.
Personally, I think I still prefer the look of the 390 and 1290 tail tidies adapted to fit the 801; and I generally prefer aluminum over composite materials anyway.
However, if stability and build quality are fine, I would also choose this one over the other off-the-shelf solutions.

You could try the MotoGadget M Blaze lights... They are very bright and tiny

Does anyone know where I can buy the Euro "shorter-than-USA" turn signals (#'s 21014025100 & 21014026100) and maybe the correct resistors?

Fowlers parts? They should ship worldwide

Thanks but "Not In Stock" @ Fowler's which is what I'm seeing at the few other Euro sources I'm aware of from the USA.
