High level Scorpions

Post by stevieVTR »

Does anyone have a pair of these. If so, did you need to relocate the indicators or fit mini indicators? Also, will I need to use silicon gasket sealant when I fit them?
Any help welcome!

Stevie i've got Scorpions H/L on my VTR. Yes you will need to fit mini indicators, I fitted Motrax. A good tip someone gave me is to line the body of indicator behind the bulb with silver paper or baking foil, I used some foil type sticky tape I happened to already have, as these indicators don't have any reflectors, it definitely makes the mini indicators brighter. I suppose it might be an option to find indicators with reflectors, let us know if you do,
cheers Chris.

Stevie,

I have scorpion hi levels on mine and managed to retain the original indicators. The pipe rise just below the indicators and don't interfere at all.

Hope this helps.

I`m going to fit them on Saturday so I`ll see how I get on. I can always get some mini Motrax if I have to. Thanks

I have the low set of Scorpions and would love a high rise set.
Does anyone have a photo of the high set as I'd like to know what they look like.

Daryl,

There's a photo of my storm with the hi levels on in the show off section, page 2 I think.

Fitted these babies yesterday but didn`t have time to test them. I don`t think my neighbour was too impressed this morning.....I`ve since taken the baffles out and they are loud!! :twisted:
