Looked at making/getting one made, but since i have the problem of no garage (bikes parked throughout the house), or even the tools needed to do anything other than basic maint, i went on the hunt for one !
Found this one on ebay for $79 us

Beauty Nodrog, see what ya mean by sharp price now, ouch some of them were over the top lol, that last link looks similar to the one i was looking at and sim priced !
Money spent on this bike is slowly creeping up lol, Just got it out of the shop (close to a grand later), put it in thinking 1st service, but got em to go over it and they found heaps of dodgy workmanship, wrong bolts holding front axle in (lucky the two threads they were holding with, never let go on the ride down from aucks) to the wiring loom being all mixed up (no idea why) !
Going and looking good now, just the ugly fender to sus And revinning (hope that goes smoothlyas its an insurance job), will put up with the scrape on the case and chips in the paint !

Pay attention S3 owners considering an eliminator. If you're gonna ride on a wet road you'll get shit all up your back and over the tail of the bike because of where the body stops vs where the tyre ends. Hence why the stock one is so long and skinny!

At least then you'll get something that fits the NZ licence plate. Don't buy one from the UK as your plate will not fit between the cans.
That first link of nodrogs with the "Clear Alternatives" package is a sharp price and not a bad option!
The second link with the "Mad Doctor" will not work either with our plates. That exhaust shown sits a little higher than stock and still our plates won't fit. I know, I have one.
Here's an old pic with the integrated tailight and home made eliminator from my bike. It fits better now!

If you do get a tail tidy and you want to get rid of the old stock unit, I am in the market for one. I need to get my bike legal while I wait for some parts from the US.

Well bikes back at home after a week of revinning hoop jumping and i sat down and started designing a tail tidy of my own ! One that fits ind. num pl. light and reflector !
Now all i need is a friendly engineer who will cut/drill/fold/weld it up for me like yesterday so i can have it on b4 the duck this weekend !
Question i have is alloy or steel ? Which would handle any vibration there might be better ?
Thinkin steel, as black is my preferred colour though know i could polish the alloy up to look like chrome it aint really my bling !

Haha painted stainless adhesion might be an issue later though, it just dont seem right to have bling hangin out your arse does it !

Dont want to use too heavy guage steel, as i'm using the two back bolts that screw into the carbon tail, thats left after the rubbish is unbolted, is that where yours is mounted or ya gone forwards to the formost two bolts ?

Nice !
Did you buy the intergrated light and how much ? Thought about it but want to have it all done this week lol so might all change yet !
Saw one with the plate right in under and yeah looks good !
Dont suppose you did a comparison at all tween the stock exhast system and the mivv with dyno or anything ?
Bloody obvious by the colour ive got the headers already that the 3-1/1-2 pipe is a bottle neck and has to effect performance so will be changing that lot at some stage too !

i cant remember how much the tail light cost as i ordered it with a bunch of other stuff.

there are dyno charts availiable here http://www.thespeedtriple.com/Forums/index.php

i just had the arrow 3-1 map installed for now, and it runs mint apart from being abit rich at idle, i will be getting a full custom map done when the warrenty runs out and after a few more mods. the Mivv cost me $530 landed compared to the $3k ish they want for the arrow system, and looks and sounds far better i reckon :drool:
