Rear mudguard removal

[Tad]

Hello again, Thought I'd upload a couple of photos of my Ace since removing my rear mudguard. After removing it I was unsure what to use as a under seat tray, had a look in my garage and "hey presto" found that a paint roller tray is of a good size and right plastic for cutting and shaping. I also made some small brackets (not plastic) to support Number plate and light. What do you think?

Looks tidy!

Those enormous numberplates do tend to make a rear guard superfluous.

But I'm glad we don't have them in Oz.

Looks good, I've done something similar.

Word of warning looking to do the same with stock shocks, when riding it may bottom out and the tyre may hit the numberplate and/or the guard etc.

Looks much tidier, always thought of getting mine done but didn't want it to be a clear weather ride only. Would it have been easier to just cut the rear guard leaving just the section from 12 o'clock to 3 ?

Hi Haz, yes it would of been easier to saw the guard. But I might want to ride my bike at other times than between 12 'o' clock and 3 LOL.
It also makes it harder in the long run if I want to put it back on at a later date (you may see the join in my welding ). I can still use it in the rain as the under tray protects the electrics, although I don't plan on using it in wet weather as it's not a work vehicle or daily commuter. Didn't think you had bad weather over in Oz.
Oh Crazy, My No plate is smaller than it should be. There meant to be even more ENORMOUSER. Wish we used No plates that fitted size of M/c.
