Another SD R tail tidy

Saw one of these number plate hangers on the back of a new R6 and thought it might look better than the plastic affair on the rear of the SD R seat.



So I scored a new one on ebay for £15. It came with the indicators but I decided to use the standard SD ones.

Stripped it down and cut 'n' shut the number plate hanger from this:



...to this:



Cut and bend the hanger from this:



To this....make a mounting plate, some spacers and powdercoat satin black.



Assemble it...here it is with the old SD R hanger...



....and fit it to the bike.



I like the way it looks 'stock' not just another pressed steel accessory, wheather or not I prefer it to the standard one I'm not sure yet. I'll give it time to grow on me, and If I change my mind then I've not done anything permanent to prevent me from returning it to as it was. We shall see

That looks great Dr F. Subtly different with less plastic involved. Start a production line of fitting kits??

A good idea - I'm going to copy your bag technique. Your photo looks like you just lifted up the SD's skirt and took a picture of its poop hole! And you still refuse the touring screen!?!

Mine has it's own sleeping bag......

heres mine, machined out 4 coller's for the 4 screws holding the old plate hanger and tiged on 4 support rod's for strength,powdercoated and Viola ![img][img]http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd223/wayoverthetop/DSC_0248.jpg[/img]

Also did the touring windshield.....lol[/img]

Finally! Let's see more of this Yellow SuperDuke!

Awesome touring screen.

I know this is tacky, a bit like me but it works and took no time and cost nearly nothing,

unless yer some kind of stickler for perfection this is clean and easy.

Wallah....plumbers tape, but I had ran out of countersunk screws, the turn signals are the tag bracket.

of course I am off topic with overthetop, DrF was referring to the SDR not the SD. 2 completely different applications, sorry Dr.F

Joe........you got us all beat ! We spend time and $ on making somethin work perfectly.............you just make it work ! and for under a buck ! My hats of to ya .
