Tidying up the back end

[Philoz]

Hey everyone,

Has anyone fitted after market pipes and a tail tidy to their bike? If so, what do you do about the piece of shaped plastic that extends down between the pipes - Leave in place or cut off? Also, what have you used for mounting the tail tidy, as the bolt holes go with the stock exhaust?

So far I've fitted after market pipes, shortened the mudflap and raised the number plate up, to clean up the back end of my bike. I am considering an integrated LED light assembly so I can get rid of the indicators on stalks, which would mean just hanging the rear number plate off a tail tidy.

Cheers, Phil (first post)

Bump bump! Lots of views but no replies. I may have to craft some aluminium this weekend and make my own custom bracket

Most everyone does this...here is my FAZR6 fender eliminator kit...

Some people make their own.

Use the search function or just look around to find tons of threads on exhaust options etc. etc. etc.

Cheers mate,

Hey, is your bike your house? Or has your garage got a wood lined floor...

Hi mate, I installed Leo Vince pipes on mine and they are designed to fit with the plastic in place. Also fitted a nice evotech tail tidy to finish it off.

Yeah that would be an advantage. I suppose I could get the original bolt hole plate welded onto my exhausts.... but I don't think so. This weekend and a meccano kit should see me right! I'll try and post pics of the result. Phil

Here's a better shot from the rear Mate ... good luck

Tidied it up

Cheers for the advice. I decided to go with a custom bracket in the end, coming down between the pipes and connecting to the original plastic bitty.

Australia seems a good place to have a numberplate as they're so small here -bit more convenient than the A4 sized thing I used to have in the UK!

How much time to you spend doing the work?

It was a wet Saturday afternoon, mug of PG in hand, tinkering with the bike - the time flew by!! I don't know how much time, but could probably make the brackets in an hour, now that I've done it once. Still not seen a proper manufactured bracket that extends down between custom pipes yet...

Looks great ... nice cans ... please excuse the pun

I cannot remember the brand name of the eliminator kit i got but i modified it and it turned out really cool. I took the eliminator mount - what the licence plate bolts to- flipped it upside down and mounted it as close to the front of the "mudflap" as i could without having and clearence issues. in my opinion it really cleans up the back of the bike and the plate is still perfectly visible from behind. i'll try and get some pics up this week.
