Well looks legit to me, and what copper would know where their supposed to be! I wanted to do something similar years ago but ended up just buffing the rust off the oem stems then a quick spray with chrome paint, looks ok at 20 feet???? but looking at those I think I’m gunna do same one day. Nice job Jonesy.

Chrisso and i have ran them like that for the last 20 years, me with oem and chrisso with led, must be ok as they havent drawn attention ...and i think they might just sit within the rules?

ADR rules require minimum distance of 75 mm to edge of headlight...as well as 180 mm minimum apart from each other on the front set.
May be something some  law enforcement officer may exercise their descretion on.

Nothing against modern gear but in my opinion the led mini indicators didn't suit the XS , much prefer the original style - regards Kev
