Cleaning Up the Big Stock Tailsection
The new tail light/license plate holder/turn signals.
US DOT mandates that we all ride motorcycles with over-sized taillights, floppy turn signals on wobbly stalks, and license plate holders that get caught in the rear wheel as suspension gets compressed, leading to a mess of dangling broken plastic and wires.
Fortunately, the European government doesnt. And you can buy the Euro spec license plate holder on eBay (4 left at http://www.ebay.com/itm/Husaberg-FE-FS-570-LED-Taillight-Tail-Light-Brake-Stop-/200730675992?hash=item2ebc7b0b18&item=200730675992&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr). After that you buy some sweet little smoked lens LED turn signals (http://sicassracing.com/store/turn_signals/led/smoke_lens_led_flat_mount_ktm) and you are set with a low profile, slick solution to keep your plate from getting flung into the woods should you ever run into a bump on your enduro bike.
Big ol license plate holder, including nice large reflectors,mega big light and turn signals, with a strange bend that makes catching
the plate with the wheel all but inevitable.
Euro-spec license plate holder. Its slim, tucked in. So Euro.
