      Pulled the trigger on the last L 136 at Self Edge. Thank you everyone for the guidance.

        I'm thinking of getting the Rizoma tail tidy for my Thruxton. It can be run in two configurations: With a rear light (top), or a licence plate light and a pair of multifunction indicators (bottom).

        I'd be using the US licence plate mount, which is a bit more compact, and not fitting the reflector.

        I'm trying to figure out a configuration. The options are:

        • Retain the rear light, and fit a set of Rizoma Clubs. This is the set up in the top photo.

        • Retain the rear light, and fit a set of Motogadget M-Blaze Pin indicators.

        • Retain the rear light, and fit a set of Watsen Design LEDs. I don't think that these are CE approved, and so there might be a legality issue.

        • Fit the licence plate light and a set of multifunction Rizoma Clubs. This is the set up in the second photo.

        • Fit the licence plate light and a set of Motogadget M-Blaze Edge multifunction indicators. These would probably be paired with a set of the Pins up front.

        The M-Blaze Pin is to the left, and the M-Blaze Edge is to the right in this photo.

        The Pins are pretty small. Here they are in situ on a Bonneville.

        This is a gloss black Watsen Design indicator. They're also available in a matte finish, which is what I'd go for.

        I'm thinking options 3, 4, or 5 at the moment, but am terribly undecided. Anyone got any ideas?

                I had a similar first world problem and opted for the vintage.  Mostly because the yenim is so dark.

                That said, I saw the yenim at SENY yesterday and it is really impressive.  Feels light but with character.  i can't rule out picking up a pair now (given that the jeans will never be made again) and rolling with them in future.

                  I like this one.  No significant logic, just think they look cooler.

                    This.  It's what I did.

                        Looking for some pants for work. I'm in a machine shop so they're gonna get abused. Torn between the 803blk, 816BW, and the 819. Any insight on these is appreciated

                          816BW, as in brown whipcords aka The WhipIts?.. Made to work in… High rise, massively comfy, and I've worn my pair hard since I got 'm two months ago, but haven't washed 'm once... I just wash off dust and such with a wet cloth and wear 'm again the next day...

                          By far the best work pants I've ever fondled, handled, or worn... Only downside: can be tricky to find a decent (colour) combo with... White and blue obv work so if you have enough of those, don't even doubt...

                                I looked at them when I placed my order…but I was so tempted by other gear I completely bypassed any work pants at all. I did buy some 708s, they're no longer pants though.

                                        The 18oz double indigo is fantastic denim. Loads of character and gets mad soft and comfy.

                                            Sold some stuff that was surplus to requirements and can buy something that Mrs Neph is going to hate and that a 44 year old man probably shouldn't be seen wearing. It's between this:

                                            And this:

                                            I tried the C3 on at Kanreki but @Graeme said I was going full viking and that ruined it for me (jk Graeme  😉 ).

                                            Truth is I'm torn. The C3 is a little over the top, but not as over the top as the IHV-28. The IHV-28 is absolutely glorious but the C3 maybe has a longer shelf life. And @Giles , saying buy both isn't an acceptable answer, but only because I can't  ::)
