Could you build/design your own tail tidy?

Of course no one builds one for a TRX. Would it be that hard to build or design one for yourself? Ideas?

Yep. My rear is cut down and my light and number plate are mounted on a piece of 3mm (I think) sheet.

Started off by making a cardboard template and then got it cut to size - cost me a few beers.

Nothing to see really - it is just a flat piece of sheet (broadly square) with holes drilled out for the mounts and for the rear light. if you want indicators, just add 'ears' and bend them ninety degrees.

That said, my rear mudguard is completely removed.

A long long time ago, it looked like this

i think he was referring more to a TRX tail rather than changing his whole tail section over like we have.

..... As Pete say's; knocking up a tail tidy isn't too difficult (I made one for my original rear end) Only problem is having to cut away so much of the original undertray to do it - which makes putting it back to standard impossible.
