I've been building a bike rack over the last couple of weeks to haul my eMTB around. Finally got all parts and it's time to test it.

Minor upgrade…
Nice
. Any issues with the fit @Alistair31, like modifying the shields etc., or was it a straightforward OEM off, new kit on?

Thank you. I've built it from scratch using 3D printed parts and off the shelf aluminium square tube, bolts, nuts.

Yes I did, with some off the shelf parts and some ingenuity

They definitely do here. They got lots of tourists visiting Gower this Summer. When I'm riding more again I want to look into SeaSuckers.Just remember width, or…
There might be an issue with the rear lights, some police get antsy about obscuring brakes, indicators and tail lights.
Are you supposed to peel that metallic layer off? I thought you needed it to reflect the vibration back into the rubber? Correct me if I’m wrong.Added some sound deadening to the rear quarters to help with those longer journeys! Doors already done. Hoping it'll help for the 6hr Scotland trip soon
Don't think so, it's a single side adhesive and the metallic sheets help with the resonance. You overlay that with the foam to then get a dB reduction too. Have done the same on the gt86 before it and did help considerably
Which foam did you use? I think I might have to add some too.Don't think so, it's a single side adhesive and the metallic sheets help with the resonance. You overlay that with the foam to then get a dB reduction too. Have done the same on the gt86 before it and did help considerably
Fitted a glossy CF Cover (from AE Night Kids Store) to the heat switch panel. Tomorrow I’m expecting their gearstick bezel panel to arrive, when I’ll be fitting that too. Perfect finish and fit, but we’ll see if their fake 3M tape holds fast or if I have to replace it with genuine PT1100… 
Link doesnt work anymore but it was just an amazon special pack of closed cell foam sound deadening sheets. There'll be better out there but has definitely made a difference.

AP racing brake rotors with OEM PP Brembo callipers? Ain't the Brembo OEM thinner than APs?

Do you have one of those elbow rest pads? I've been tempted a few times but have resisted as I'm not sure how it will look, but comfort would be improved.
