Re: 2017 R1M from Manchester
Hi and welcome Chris, what a good choice of bike!. 
I've not seen a carbon tail tidy for the M, although the Carbon King makes one which is a copy of the original tail tidy which is pointless really. I have an Evotech silver version fitted on mine.
Have a look in my thread viewtopic.php?f=57&t=13844" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to see what carbon I've fitted on my 2016 M. Another member Chappo has a lot of carbon on his 2016 R1 too viewtopic.php?f=57&t=11847" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Here's how mine looks at the moment.

that looks awesome mate! carbon hugger is definitely on my list of things needed urgently.
As soon as i figure out how to post pics on here i'll get some up.
Chappo went pretty big on bringing his up didn't he, can't believe the size of that list before he even had the bike!

2 - In the "resize" drop down choose either 15" or 17" screen (15 is enough and fast too)
3 - Press "upload now" where it will ask you to type in a couple of words to confirm you are a human being and not an automated program.

Re: 2017 R1M from Manchester

The lights are pretty cool, but I don't mind the standard light tbh.

yea thats way smarter than the yamaha "tail tidy" I upgraded to, tidies the wiring up a treat doesn't it! if i go for the LED strips that replace the indicator stalks ( the links i posted on last thread ) i think ill have to get a custom plate bracket made.
anyone around manchester on here? going for a ride out tomorrow as weather is supposed to be scorching, I've also got a ride out planned on 20th
