1200 sport tail light/rear fender removal

[HoldenGC]

I would like to remove the rear mudguard off my 1200 sport to fit a tail tidy but all the manuals on line stop short of showing how to remove the tail section/number plate light. Any help would be appreciated as it appears I may need to remove lots of body work.

Careful, I just wanted to repair a faulty indicator on my Bellagio. So much needed to be removed I ended up with boxes of discarded spare parts, a retro café racer and a $5k hole in my bank account.

simply put its APITA. I think the first time it took me close to 1 hour to change a $1 globe; I suppose on a positive note, at least with such a design Guzzi is helping their service agents to make a quid.

Thanks folks, looks like I will have to set aside a rainy day and take my time, not that it rains much in NZ.

Let's see some pics of this Bellagio cafe!!!! We don't get it in the US so it's always great to see one, especially with mods.

You have to be careful taking bits off sport 1200's. Sometimes they fall to bits!

Thats what I'm afraid of!!!

Actually they're pretty easy. Not nearly as much shite on them as say a Norge. A bit fiddly and time consuming but not difficult. Grisos are even easier.

Here are some pics. I have used the original plastics and the only add on is the actual plate hanger. After market indicators used with the original number plate light fitted to to bottom part of the recycled inner fender. The pics of the guard cutting are by hhkiwi and then I just fumbled through the rest.
Not the greatest photos and sorry I don't have any progress shots.
