Homemade tail tidy with a twist - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Decided to fabricate my own tail tidy, with a twist, Yip, just flip the license plate up under the seat when you need to speed.

Fortunately our cops don’t worry much about bikes, as we are too difficult to catch.

Unmanned speed cameras everywhere, and as you can see our plates are huge

Pretty cool. How did you make it? Have any other pictures of the process?

How about a mild spring on it that keeps it in the down position until you go over 65 mph then the airflow stretches the spring and it flies straight?

Regrets, no pictures of in the making. Will post a picture of the end product when it returns from powder coating. Very easy to make.
