Installed a BRKT tail tidy with led plate bolts. A Motodynamic led tailight with intergrated sequential turn singals. Cleaned up the look of my Scrambler

Under $200. But I'm changing it again. Just not happy with having a plate near the tail light. I change the plate position under the seat and still not happy. So I ordered a Swingarm plate mount. I like the look of a clean tail.Lookin good...better than my zip-ties on my FTP. What'd that run you all in ~$200ish ?

I've had an anchoring for one of those but the position is illegal here in Sydney. I have seen a couple fitted running on the streets but at the price of the Rizoma stuff I didn't want to take the chance and plumbed for the standard tail tidy sticking the plate where you don't like itInstalled my Rizoma outside plate bracket. Super happy with it.

Fit a stainless domed Allen (cap head) bolt to fill the holes....Incidentally, What has everyone done to tidy up the screw holes in the swing arm once the old mud scraper is removed?
What's that exhaust? Looks terrific.

I used an A2 stainless as that's what I have in stock but as it's just to fill the hole and not under any stress then any stainless will do.Thanks Hui, I shall search some out. For us mechanical dunces can you elude to a 'spec', thread, length, unall that?![]()
Sorry, I didn't read your request properly. I'm away from the bikes until next week and can't remember the exact size and length but zooming in on my own photo it looks like the vertical one is 8mm and the horizontal one 6mm standard pitch (not fine)I used an A2 stainless as that's what I have in stock but as it's just to fill the hole and not under any stress then any stainless will do.
A2 / 304 is a marine grade stainless and very corrosion resistant with good stress properties.
A4 / 316 is a higher grade and harder, some may say although better corrosion resistant etc. it's more prone to cracking.
Usually it's only a real problem when stainless to stainless but always coat the threads with anti-seize to help prevent galling as stainless is particularly bad for it.

The length, as it's really just a plug then 10mm long or so would be OK
Got to local hardware store. Find shorter length screws for the swingarm factory plate mounting. Helps seals the treads from getting damaged....Incidentally, What has everyone done to tidy up the screw holes in the swing arm once the old mud scraper is removed?
