Here's my rendition of a quick tail tidy. i used the stock plastic bits for a template and cut out this aluminium piece where needed.
drilled the holes , filed out the radius's where needed ( 2 ) put the amount of bend i wanted and that's about it. My license plate bracket is an after market bit of black metal with sliding bits to mount signals on which i've done ( mini's ), but the license bracket simply bolts up to the tail tidy plate and i've put a rubber strip in between the two for added vibration control.... the gromet is to route the signal and license light wires under the plate so they're not visible and hanging there ...
pretty easy and quick.
Johnny ------------- Oh ! the aluminium piece cost me 5 bucks .

Think you need to cut the plastic tail of & put your side panels back on
but tidy looks good & a lot cheaper that one from the stealers

I've had it off before when I chopped the bill off. Wasn't easy then, but not impossible ...
I have a mini clear LED to go on but will need to remove more from the underseat tray and fab something up to get it to sit just under the seat, same as the SDR with double seat that was in the Gallery.

I think the no underseat farings look works on your duke, cause there are no pillion pegs... it gives it a nice striped down look and will be very cool all black...
I know what you mean about the farings i cut 2 inches of one on a sport bike and my head was getting ripped off at speeds
