Did you make a bracket to hold the rear light and turn signals?
My bracket was a little over the top...had I made it today I would
have used a thinner piece of metal...and not made the bracket
so wide. I got the idea from Saigon5 and I think his bracket was
perfect!

Edit: I'll add a photo for you :-D This was before I got the MT undertray.

The MT undertray is great! I can't remember exactly what the price inc shipping to Sweden was but it was somewhere around €175 i.e. 120 quid. Worth every penny if you ask me.

This is what the bike looks like with it on.

We'd need to see how you have it rigged up. How heavy are you and do you have the suspension set really soft? One solution is to not have the plate angled down too much. This is a pic of how I had it set up before I did the mt undertray and I had the same problem as well. I was using too flexible of a material and the plate would flex down and be grabbed by the tire.

I am thinking of doing the TBS locking single seat and cowl conversion for my legend, as detailed in other strings on the forum. Can anyone direct me to a good place to purchase all the necessary parts, seat, cowl, etc.

Thanks.
