Tail tidy

[Bigjaype]

So I spent the morning making up a new number plate/tail light and indicator for the classic

Can't fit it as I don't have bolts long enough yet...and the bike is going in tomorrow to sort out the fast idle issue that comes and goes. New TPS, I think?

I used my existing tail light as a template to make up a stainless steel blank to cover the hole and use as a mount for the new number plate holder/tail light.
Bent some aluminium to hold the indicators, which also have stop and tail lights. Enough space for the obligatory reflector. Can't wait to fit it but will have to wait until next weekend.

All done, front and rear!

I was going to take pics as I assembled everything but got caught up in the manufacture and fitting it slipped my mind.
I used the tailight base as a template, and formed a new base with the same curve. I reused the rubber trim from the tailight. I mounted the number plate holder onto the new base with bolts long enough to go through into the fender frame underneath. Attached a bracket to hold the indicators combo lights.

The good thing is, all stock items can be put back on. I used a deutsch plug for the wiring.

Interesting this is what I did. Very clean. Next project is Crash bars and foot pegs. Getting ready for R.A.A. east

A Douche Plug???
Zat surely must be for a Douche Cannon?

Seriously, gratitude for the pix.
I'd like to know more about how it mounts and then see if my non steroid size plate will cover.

If you feel like making a few more.. I'd be very interested in buying one.. I just don't have the time or the patience to try myself..

Please let me know if this is a possibility

I just now broke the news that I was going to KY to the wife unit - no problemas.
Main thing for me is to clear my calendar for the three weeks I need.
I do intend to spend more that just a couple days riding the area before I head back to WA.
Anxious to see how you have improved your twisties - obviously you have NOT improved your CRR!
