Na mate just cut the original subframe just behind were the rear pegs go and then bolted it to the frame at the front were the battery box bolts eitherside of the tank mount and gotta mount some brackets at the back of the riders saddle to mount it up there as well.

Cheers for the comments of approval people

Went out to get a taillight today but started snowing so got in a bad mood and went home having only baught a licence plate hanger lol





Probly the best licence plate bracket i've ever owned usually they only sit in one place but this one is adjustable to what possition you want .... almost tempting to put a motor on it to flip it up hey ? lol but shant be doing it as its a £1000 fine and can cause the bike to be Q Plated (bike blackmarked as legitaness of the bike and its ownership being unsure)

Give it a go mate just buy some dirty cheap bodywork off ebay and some felt tip pens to mark bodywork and frame for choping, drilling etc and make sure you got a few days spare to do it, it should only take a few hours but for years i kept ****ing things up because i was trying to get them ready for work the next day so not letting things dry long enough / cutting and drilling things in the wrong place because was trying to do it in the dark etc but as soon as i learnt to take my time things started comming together

Got the taillights in today

Gotting as much wireing in the tail as possible at the moment rather than haveing it around the battery box which you can see were the tail doesnt cover the front of the subframe.

That is incredibly sexy man. Only thing I would worry about would be that my legs would be too cramped. Looks like the seat is much lower than the stocker but the pegs are in the same place...

Are the indicators very visible from the rear at 20 feet or so? Looks great, just not sure how well the indicators would be seen by following motorists.
