Tailight & Hose Options? Removing Rack...

[Mtn-Track]

What are you guys doing with the stock T/L and hose covers when removing the rear rack? Aftermarket, custom mount, or....?

I just picked up an '07 SE with 700mi and the rack needs to go. Thanks.

I just go the one for the short track and put on mine...looks clean....

Thanks. Did you do anything for the hoses or just leave them exposed?

I ditched my stock rack and installed a parker rack. I just left the hoses exposed. That was 2 yrs ago and 3000kms of tree riding and no problems. If your worried about the hoses getting torn open you can replace with braided steel lines. I dont think its needed though.

Thanks for the replies! The OEM rack is history tonight but I won't be replacing it with anything.

I removed my stock rack and left the hoses exposed. I left the plastic that sits on the top of the tunnel. It's held on with the Yamaha tie down rings that screw into the top of the tunnel. I got a small led tail light from SLP and mounted it on the plastic piece just above the snow flap. The plastic piece on top of the tunnel covers the wires to the tail light.

Exactly!

Now THAT works!

Thanks Gents!

So this is what I ended up with. Used the stock light that is now mounted to the tunnel, through the plastic, using the original screws....
