Default DIY Mods

Sure does save a lot of money, and one of my favourite easy DIY for a bike is the number plate hanger...

Show us pictures of your home made creations!

Didn't bother, the brake light is bright enough and I've never been pulled up about it.

not that easy and I wouldnt bother again to be honest, had to make up light mount brackets, undertray and tail tidy.

It needs infills either side of the tail light, and they need to be filled in as when it rains lots of spray ends up under the seat, especially as I no longer have the snow plough.

Im hoping to fit a complete pointy seat unit and subframe in the near future as I think it would look neater. It was simply a what if idea that I got carried away with.

Cost me about £25 all in I think.

I wanted to fit some neat aftermarket indicators to my naked pointy but the hole left by the oem ones is a large oval shape. OK, I could have bought some indicator spacers but they look too much like an afterthought for me so.........
Decided to scrounge some carbon sheet from a friend who works with fast cars.. (cheers Andy) and made these babies .......
