I got an Omars tail section, it mounts in the front thru the tank post and two bolts in the flat bar. I lined the frame with foam rubber where the fiberglass makes contact , use rubber washers under and over the mounting holes. Don't over tighten the bolts. I also use a trailer plug in for the taillight and turn signals wires to make it easier to remove the tail section.

Cheers buddy, good idea with the trailer plug.
