ive done 6 miles on the MT so that seemed about the right time to attack it with a grinder-after all its pissed down with rain all effin day............bound to go down a storm when i load up some pics........:)
im off up the pub first cos i need a beer or 3 and a wetherspoon curry

anyway, the tail tidy on my new toy looks very twee but i dont do vertical number plates cos i think it looks cack. back on with the stock tail, complete with seat lock cover and then out with the grinder, followed by the welder.....took about 20 mins to cobble up a free tail tidy


........however if id took 22 mins i might have welded it straight.:rolleyes: corrected it by drilling the number plate to match :)
anyway this lot is going in the suitcase destined for other places and theres quite a bit more chopping gone on tonight....

i was right about the faff bit........took a few hours with the DREMMEL to get to where i wanted. i could do with another tail mount now to make a better panel, this 1 was slightly overtrimmed but im just being picky, ITS FOOKIN MINT.
