    but you're right, if that's the law.. but I think they have better things to do somehow
    Hey guys, anyone looking at cutting gaurds, make sure you leave enough of a spurr to allow for fine tuning for detail. The one above is correct in my opinion as it also leave enough of a tail to protect the tail light from stones. It is also easy to sand and leave a proffesional finish ready for a plate bracket.

    Thought I would post a followup. Went for a ride on my day off (friday) and ended up getting the plate slammed by the rear-wheel and folded back (a couple of times). Lost my Rego at one stage. Ened up spending the day at work making a new bracket. So now the plate is mounted MUCH higher and the rear is MUCH tidier as a result. Just have to tidy the hacksaw job and seal off the 'cavity' I created by cutting the tail off. Will post a pic soon.

    So question: Juice, does your tailight get shit all over it from the water flicking up off the wheel on a wet day?

    yeah, pretty much, but then it's just water. If you've gone thru a particulally dirty stretch, just wipe it off while it's still wet, or get a damp cloth every so often and wipe it clean. It's not often I have to do that, mainly thru the winter, but the weather has really picked up lately, so I don't think I'll need to do any additional washing than what I'd normally do anyway. Plus, the light still shines thru ok..
