Which Tail Tidy for Watsen's LEDs?
Which tail tidy did/would you use for Watsen's rear turn signals? I pretty much just need a license plate mount and LED light for it.

Make your own?
If you can get away with having one of those small US reg plates mounted far in underneath the tail that looks gr8! I donīt really understand why some install watsens leds and then they keep a big ugly plate holder sticking out at the rear? Most "so called" tail tidies are still too big IMO...

I used the R&G Tail Tidy kit and cut off the side markers. The kit also comes with an LED light for the license plate. It looks great IMO.

the bracket for the stock turn signal just unbolts and the cover plate fills the ugly inderside where stock number leaves and come in body colours aswell

Watsen LED. All you then need to do is go to your local hardware store, buy a piece of Aluminum angle, cut it to size, mark and drill four holes to mount to to the bike and the plate and paint it. Plug the third hole with a rubber grommet and you are set. Very easy and looks good too.

that sound like what I might just do after buying new turn signals front and back. I need to catch a break somewhere!
