Not sure if this is your yellow, but at that price it'd still be cheap if you had to have it sprayed. Retains the stock number plate light, and has proper visible indicators. Also fits without cutting up any existing parts of the bike unlike most of them, and retains a good luggage space. Not the nicest looking of the undertrays, but the most practical IMO.

Looks like this fitted:

The only thing is, it's more fragile than the stock one- I'd recommend using some rubber washers at the fixing points, and more foam under the battery- mine cracked at the front lugs during a bit of unsceduled ofroading, then a while after I went over a big speedbump at a frankly stupid pace with a toolkit, spare battery and chain in the underseat- bang, out the bottom they went :) I think to be fair almost any undertray will be flimsier.

Northwind...Are those wheels anodised or some other finish? They look superb on your bike mate! :wink:

Powdercoated... Looks nice, eh? The best is yet to come :)
