rear end ideas, tail tidy? (curvy) - SV650.org

18-09-10, 07:23 PM

Ive been toying with getting a tail tidy for my curvy as the standard chunky number plate light looks pants TBH.

Ive seen tail tidies on ebay etc, but havent seen a pic of the rear end of the bike to see what they look like fitted, and with the lights on.

Has anyone fitted or made one of their own and changed the rear light.

I recon a pointy rear light and a tail tidy of some sort (bought or fabricated) would neaten the back up a treat.

Thanks, Lee

Think mine is a powerbronze one.Number plate needs moving up to hide the bracket, but its a big improvement on the snow shovel.

Was black, but colour matched by my sprayman

No,number plate light is an Evo tech led item,

numberplate & indicator bracket is from a Ebay seller. Good quality item

thats the sort of thing that would do, of course I forgot I`ll need to deal with my standard indicators too.

Added to my watch list so I can get some ideas together. wanted to change the rear light if possible, may have to wait until I take it off the road for the winter so i can have a good look around the back of the bike to see what might work.

Not as clean as it was in the picture, as I haven't cleaned it since the AR in August

Plus it'll get dirty tomorrow as well

It'll get a clean this week

Put mine on earlier this year its a cheepo off ebay and the fits not bad but took a bit of fettling. looks better than the shovel it replaced. plate bracket is oxford plate mate.

got a link for that? just trying to get enough info to make my choice really.

Ive saved the link for the template for the undertray I found in some other topics, but from what ive read its a pain to get printed onto paper without grief.
