The other day I set about trying to strip some the excess materials from the rear of the bike and start thinking about relocation of some of the electrical parts to move everything 'on board' and be less likely to be damaged in the event of a crash.

First I removed the heat shield from between the exhaust and the tail section. It looked clumsy and dumb, and I can't remember anyone else running one on one of these. With this off I set about fabbing some new brackets to carry the weight of the exhaust.

Pulled out some aluminium strip and started mocking up



Seemed to work so did the same on the other side then rounded the edges off.





This is more a workshop experiment at this stage rather than a final product. I figure at the very least I should rubber mount these to give them a little room to move and prevent them snapping. Is that likely to happen? Should I perhaps just replace with some springs?

Was good fun being back in the shed scratching my head. Oh how I missed it!
