Just wondering if someone had that awful experience of it flying open at speed.

Yes....... twice. You'd have though I'd have learnt the first time. rolleyes

First time was at about 60mph, and was very scary as the open shell felt like it was lifting the rear wheels off the ground. Needed a new shell and 4 new lights.

Second time was under hard acceleration from rest, so very minor damage that I repaired myself.

FYI...the stock LEDs in the circuit are blinkers.

Wow. Those are some pretty scary stories. I'll be ordering the kit soon as I'm approaching that 1/2 century mark and ... what was I talking about??
Thanks,
