Got one. Comes fast. Attaches easily. Hasn't rained since I fitted it so don't know if it works. Stainless steel support bracket doesn't really suit the style of the bike if you look hard, but who does? Don't notice it now, but the rear shock's not so dirty. Nice peace of work; go for it.
Piece & love to all

Sorry
a)not a site sponsor (yet) so photos can't be posted.
b)I haven't reached the dizzy heights of digital camera ownership yet. Not even a mobile phone. No wonder I bought such a dinosaur of a bike

See if it works

I bought one and it just didn't work out. It rubbed on the swingarm and clattered off the undertray, despite adjusting the suspension etc. I spoke with Norman who did suggest a couple of mods. But when this failed to have any benefit, i.e. it still banged the undertray, he promptly asked me to return it for my money back. I didn't even have to ask. The product was poor, but the service couldn't be better.

All I can add, is the service I have had from nippynormans has been beyond superb.
I hope other vendors realise when the feast is over & the famine is a reality, their service will be judged on history. Without naming names, you ( & we) know who you are......

I bought one a few months ago and also had to modify it to make it fit as it rubbed against the tyre. A few minutes with a file and an extra spacer nut on the brake caliper fitting solved the problem. It does its job, but I was unhappy with the trouble it took to adapt it. Good luck with whatever you fit.
