    Bike was purchased from Ballarat Victoria last month.
    Queensland import.
    No other history.
    Import country? Black frame?

    I 3D printed my own brackets for the aftermarket indicators. Absent on purchase.

    Not where I am at the moment. @GreyImport should have one laying around that he might be kind enough to take a pic and the dimensions for you to have a go.

    Thank you...can you tell me the overall length please? That's the only measurement I will need.
    Will 3D print one.

    You'll need to be creative on how you affix the printed unit to the fairing (unless you can 3D print rubber).

    The 'trumpet' end has a groove (A) that is quite tight when fitted to the fairing (B). The fact the original part is made of flexible rubber helps with fitment. The end that joins to the airbox (C) has a small lip to help seal it. Good luck with your 3D printing and I look forward to seeing the outcome.

    The duct is a guide for the airflow.

    I know both diameters B and C once length of A is known I will make a peice and mount directly to the fairing peice.
    Will make dia C a taper to help both locate and seal.

    That's the plan.

    Good luck with your 3D printing.
    You might like to consider printing in TPU which is a flexible material. Although I have never tried it.
    Trying to get the detail correct in the area highlighted (A) in franks note might be difficult with a 3D printer.
    You might be able to source a large grommet that will fit the hole and simple push a round tube into it.
    Let us know how you get on.

    Peter.

    Bit of sealant prior to fitting. Happy with that.
