Re: My Suzi T500 Project
That's some awesome work. One Q I have though, is about the trapped fuel in that area of the tank bottom / sides above the welded edge. I mean it's not a problem near as I can see, aside from the fact the tank would be difficult to drain/dry fully and you might end up with residue / sediment in that thin cavity.

Re: My Suzi T500 Project
Two locations come to mind, first right at the break line (just past the shock mount) on the undertail, mount the plate bracket vertical. This would keep the tail very clean looking. Some States allow that, I've seen sportbikes that look illegal? You could also easily mount a small light on the underside as well. Second would be more conventional, the same angle as the undertail but opposite, down sloping almost as the end of a fender. Top edge would start about 1.5" before the trailing edge of the tail again so a light could be mounted flush (like the turnsignals) but pointed downward. Aluminum plate, with large holes.
Cheers, 50gary
