Chopping the tail...

Has anyone any info about a replacement rear end (shorter) for the Tenere?

I've just picked mine up, and love everything about it apart from the elephant trunk rear end!

I read that Off-the-road might be developing a rear fender replacement (rather than cutting up the undoubtedly expensive Yamaha original) and I emailed them with regards to integrating the indicators into the individual rear light lenses - neat huh?

However, they inform me that it wouldn't be 'legal' in Europe?! (or at least were OTR are...) - although since when has that bothered bikers?!

Anyway, I've emailed Clear Alternatives in the US (I have one of their combined LED tail/indicator units on my Ducati Monster) to see if they would be interested in developing something for the Tenere. I know it's not a US model (yet), but reckon they would have a large market overseas...

It also happens that I'll be taking my Tenere over to Las Vegas in the next couple of months, so they would have something to work with...

What do you guys think?

Integrate the rear indicators into the twin tail lights, and attach the number plate to the panel below the lamps (which happens to be exactly the right size for a US numberplate btw.)... job done?
