Dammit, you've got me derailing, sorry st220_mike
Oh what a surprise
Nice bike Mike. Ignore Miss YC's derailing antics.. you'll soon learn she does that far too much

Hello and welcome.

It looks like your screen is a double bubble screen nice bronze tint to it stops glare in the summer.

The picture of your bike looks like you may have a standard can on it but you have writing on the can... if that´s the case it´s likely to be after market but I can’t make it out from the picture.

Don’t worry about cleaning it too much in the winter you only need to make sure the salt is washed off so as not to erode stuff... just enjoy riding it

Yes, it's an ART can, and it sounds awesome! I was really thinking about the number plate holder thing being standard? It looks a bit bulky to me and wondered if there is a smaller tail tidy for it?

Yeah that is the standard snow shovel... Unfortunately there is no simple bolt on/bolt off tail tidy for the curvy. You have to cut the snow shovel. Have a search for Undertrays or Wideboy's thread about how he made his own (give me a sec and I'll get you that link)

[EDIT]: Here's Wideboy's thread. Hope that helps

No worries. That's the great thing about this site.. Get told something useful and then pass it on to others in a similar position
There's also this site which gives a step by step method with pics of each stage

It's an ART can by the look of it.
