Tea Tray and rear light

[NewMon]

In a double whammy, the mounting points for the rear light have broken, one on the light, the other on the tea tray. I don't think epoxy is going to help here, so looking for replacement parts. Can anyone help please?

I see that my request has coincided with another members. It's a triple whammy!

The Beer tray is ABS so I am going to try to repair it with Acetone and some ABS slurry - it's quite a clean break. I'm looking for the best quality LED rear light unit I can get - ideally, looking exactly like the stock part - anyone got a recommendation?

There's a few different ones here:-

I've got the 35 LED clear version.

Did you get a tea tray?
I have the entire rear end off a 2002
All the plastic components .

Thanks to everyone who responded. I have been hitting the 'new posts' button regularly but not seeing updates on this thread (or emails, which is odd because other threads are working). Anyway, I looked at getting a new tray and light (possibly LED) and eventually decided to try and fix the tray and buy a new light unit with the old style bulb. I got that for a tenner and glued the snapped mounting point back to on with superglue, reinforced with ABS slurry (ABS dissolved in Acetone). So far it all seems to have been successful after a shakedown ride.

There are obviously at least two designs of tray, one with 4 bolts attached and the other with 4 'nuts' embedded and 1 central bolt. Mine is of the latter style. The rearmost 2 nuts are to attach the numberplate light and the others are use to attach to the frame and the number plate holder. This made getting a 'new' one more complicated. I am tempted to try to get a replacement for the inevitable time when the fix fails.

Drumnagorrach, what mounts are on the part you've got?

A side note: All my bulbs are original, none of them have blown since 2001 and 27K miles. I think this is great, and as I do the gentle restore on my '40th' monster, I will be keeping it original including incandescent bulbs.

Here's a thought . This could be a tail chop restoration kit, I could easily chop the back of my knackered frame and include it with the plastic bits . It could then be welded back on ,or I could weld in two stubs and you could drill the chopped frame and bolt it back together.
Anyroad NewMon , these is the bits ,there is also the hugger and under seat panel.

Shame, that is also the 'other type' with 4 bolts - It may fit but I think would make the numberplate mounting difficult. I can see also that the number plate light is different.

I'm interested in the hugger though - in case I can't restore the carbon fibre one that I have.

I like to think of mine as a carbon coffee tray, possibly espresso sized:

I think they all look hideous :mand:

As an engineer ,all I see is a triumph of style over design.
even the original allows road crap to be deposited allover my back.
Whats needed here is a jolly good back mudguard,sort of thing fitted to a Sunbeam S7.

[squarehead]

But where would I put my coffee?

As a Ducati owner I obviously spend many hours with the bike on the paddock stand, and virtually no time riding in the rain. (I thought my warranty was void if I rode in the wet)

'57 Sunbeam mudguards don't sound very practical at all in this sitution.....

Hi I am a fairly new member on here having recently bought a monster which is in desperate need of a rear end mine has been cut at the start of the grab handles have been looking for a while on here and just noticed that you have a rear end if it is still available could you let me know how much etc that would be great
Thanks

I will have you know sir, that the Sumbeam S7 had a large and robust rear mudguard ,fashioned from the finest British steel, lovingly painted with the finest lead rich paint .
It had a hinge to allow the rear wheel to be removed as the mudguard almost reached to the ground . But all was not functionality, it had a fine sweep to its lines and a stylish flare as it terminated ,close to the ground.

Sir, is the S7 Sunbeam mudguard like this? Just look at the hinge on that :eyepopping:!

Suddenly my carbon fetish makes sense, looks like it weighs as much as my complete bike..... I reckon a handy prop made from say 1&1/2" thick wall steel tube (for safety) would allow the swingy bit to be positioned as a espresso support device.....

Ahh a thing of beauty, look at the curvature and the inset valence,all leading to the understated flair, JUST AS IT CLEARS THE GROUND.
