Whilst greasing up the rear suspension bearings, I thought I’d have a go at knocking up a little Cr#p deflector for the rear shock absorber.
Using the little rubber flappy thing that hangs over the rear tank mounting mountings! as my starting point, I got a suitable bit of plastic sheet, 3 number plate bolts and a hole punch . . . .

This is where the flappy bit normally sits

And this is where it hangs down into the rear wheel arch

My gash bit of plastic bolted to the flappy bit – job jobbed!

Haven’t tried it out yet. Just finished fitting a Scottoiler to the bike and am now waiting to borrow some vacuum gauges so’s I can check the carb balance – then its re-build and road test.
