    Was going to make my own for but realised it wasn't that much more to buy THIS as it came with tail light and more importantly a plug'n'play wiring harness. I made a couple of mods to it, one was to put THIS round it to protect the frame's paint, it made quite a snug fit, glued ,messily, with evo stick, snipping off the excess at bends with scissors. don't forget to cut it about 2" too long to allow for pressing into bends etc.

    The next thing was I didn't like the way these tail tidys hid the stop light under the seat so to make it more visible I fashioned an extension piece from THIS. The holes didn't quite match up with the tail tidy but they needed widening anyway ,no.8 metal drill bit, and if you slightly offset the holes they'll line up.

    so bolted it together using rubber shower washers as a bit of padding/shock absorber and attached it to the bike

    replaced old indicators with Shin Yo Arizonas on underseat relocation brackets also bought plug'n'play indicator harness all from Squaredeals. The harnesses seem to be newbonneville ones.
    So now I can resort back to original spec in about 3/4 hour or less.
    The wiring wasn't as straight forward as I thought it would be, but I have created another thread for that.
