FRAME
Tail end
The original, aesthetically rather unpleasant plastic rear fender/license plate
assembly was replaced with a custom made tail end made from aluminum.
The new tail end utilizes the OEM tail light and includes mounting points for the
rear turn indicators.
Passenger seat storage case
Since the R9T does not offer any storage room I designed a medium sized
storage case which can be swapped with the OEM passenger seat.
I bought a used passenger seat, removed the seat cushion and attached the base
structure to the (reinforced) bottom of a NELSON storage case.
For aesthetic reasons the base is “surrounded” with a polished aluminum frame.
Since the mounting points of the original passenger seat and the storage case are
identical, both can be swapped easily.
Tank bag
Again, to address the shortage of luggage space, a BMW tank bag holder was
installed, allowing to attach a tank bag easily.
License plate holder
New, custom made aluminum license plate holder with carbon frame and LED license
plate lights, attached to the right side of the final drive.
Rear view mirrors
New handle bar rear view mirrors, replacing the (aesthetically oversized) OEM mirrors.
Helmet lock
Custom made aluminum holder for numbered helmet lock with stainless steel cable,
attached to the left frame.
Garage door opener
Custom made aluminum holder for garage door opener, attached to the left engine
intake cover.
12V connector
Additional, cigarette lighter style 12V connector attached to the left engine intake cover.
Turn indicators
In order to “complete” the redesigned tail end I replaced the OEM rear turn indicators
with shorter, but otherwise identical versions.
Reflectors
The original, now removed rear fender included reflectors. New reflectors were added
to the left and right side of the frame.
