An excellent job in hiding away the electrics.
Thats where I'm up to now.

You dont need a lot of depth to be fair my little ally under tray is only about 40mm deep and has everything in it except for the regulator which you can see bolted to the outside, the battery is up in the seat hump

Thank you , the seat was off fleabay and advertised as a BMW cafe racer seat but the dimensions just suited the trx virtually no trimming required! I then had the cover custom made with the 70's style press studs which are practical as the seat unit bolts are hidden under it, i didn't want any fixings showing :wink:

I like it - bit off the usual beaten track - but that's a good thing

Looking good,
when you look at the side profile the front guard profile has a line which matches the tank lines.The rear guard looks to need a profile change to me perhaps similar to the cans.
The exhausts are fantastic ,first time i have seen them on a trx ?did you make them up

thanks lads.

The pipes are Dan Moto pipes. Bloodly loud. Had to put in a proximal baffle. Even then it sets off alarms.

I typically ride without the rear guard. But agree, the lines aren't perfect... yet.
