Numberplate light .

Always thought the number-plate light and reflector looked to large ,so pulled it all apart and reinstalled without spacer.
Before

After

The spacer removed ,all comes apart not cutting.

You realise that this is probably against some obscure ADR and that you can be thrown in jail in most States of this fine Country. Other than that it looks better and might try it myself. Mark.

But Officer it was like that when i bought it ,honest .
I think you would have to be unlucky .With every second bike having no rear guard at
all ,no reflector, tiny indercators i'm calling this O.K.
The exhaust on the other hand !

Ended up removing large rubber backing pad .Cut a smaller one with a piece of push bike inner tube.Looks a bit neater
By the response of this mod .it looks like i'm on my own though.

Gus you have upset the weight balance now.
It will be much harder to lift the front wheel with less weight hanging over the rear axle.

I reckon it looks alright.

Why not go 1 step further. ditch the rear light, move the plate up and cut a hole in the bottom of the brake light, insert a clear bit of perspex and then it'll be really neat. They used to do this modification on GPX/ZZR's to tidy up the rear end

That IS cleaver .If i ever cut down the rear guard i might have a go at that .Dont like cutting things though esp. the way its been raining up here .

My question is Gus, whats the chop with the "exfoliating" cloth over the number plate...don't you have mspaint...

MsPaint ????? I have no idea why we hide the number plate .I asked once and no-one else knew either . Probably enables you to lie about your top
speed without fear of channel 7 turning up .

If anyone does this number plate mod replace the 5w bulb with a 10w bulb $2.30 before puting it back together
$2.30 ,blew the budget on this one .
