Tail Tidy Reflector (Bodgerific) - SV650.org

DarrenSV650S · 02-10-06, 08:05 PM

Got myself a hamicad tail tidy recently which Im very chuffed with

Thought I better stick a reflector on to keep in the polis good books

I was thinking of putting one of those sticky ones on to the plate but thought it would look a bit naff.
So I took the old one from my snow plough, drilled a small hole in the number plate light, and screwed it in, job done :P
I think it looks pretty decent, doesnt stand out too much, and means I wont get any unwanted attention

Think I need to do something like that for MOT, took the old one off the snowplough and put it somewhere "safe", tis all but lost. Been looking in various car parts places for something similar to no avail.

But the way you've done yours, you not worried about water getting in to the plate light unit through the screw hole? Lots of water gets thrown up there once the snowploughs off?

Bit of shower sealant might be a good idea....

Thought most people put the OEM reflector there...

now I never thought of putting it there

think I get one of those double sided sticky pads to put one on for the MOT, (in 2 years time)

Thanks for the idea!
