just wondered if this is off another gpz, quite fancy getting something almost standard looking but without it sticking out from the body work like the original

That's a common mod where the bracket is simply shortened.

Ginger Bear has done it recently.

I have one already done, badly, i have to say, (not by me) and with indicator mounts needing repair, but you can have it for a fiver plus postage

ive got an original one here, never realised they could be modded, i havent got a paypal account at the moment?

The rear mudguard I had fitted was a 'period' accessory made in glass fibre, that moves the tail light forward, probably 'all the rage' 30 years ago.

If you still have an uncut original rear mudguard, DON'T cut it. They are worth a small fortune these days, one sold recently on ebay for £150+

no havent got the original mudguard, i meant bracket

so this bracket is shortened? the part with 4 bolts to the subframe?





thats mud not rust by the way

bumping this back up, any ideas on how i cut the bracket?

make a bracket ..just a flat one and fasten in to the two threads on the end of frame tubes ..big green bus ..is the man to talk too as he had some made

thats an idea, i didnt want to cut this one down if i could help it, so pretty much a u-shape out of ally then?

If you just take that bracket off you will see 2 x M8 threads in the rear of the seat rails. Just get a bit of flat on there and mount your lamp.

It's almost as if that's what Kawasaki wanted you to do in the first place.

so literally on the end of the round tubing then? ah ok i thought you'd have to bolt onto where the existing 4 bolts/bracket are? that sounds easy

now a silly question, what happens with the rear bodywork? mines held in place by a bracket with a slotted square rubber mount?

u make a little bit ta put the rubber in

ah ok thanks, im sure itll become clear when i start
