Well I bit the bullet and was board Sunday and I decided to give it a shot. I have another badwebber hooking me up with another stock piece so here are 2 pics of what I did. I painted and clear coated it myself.. I have never done anything like this before so let me know what you think? Here is the link of Pics see what you think. http://www.ctcn.net/~rmanley/ |

Looks nice and clean. Well done, a good job. How did you mount the License Plate? The indicators look a bit 'bent', due to the original surface angle. Any thoughts on getting them straighter? |

I made a License plate bracket.. The Turnsignals are droppy.. I may get new signals to help that but everyone around here as actually liked ti because they droop the same.. |

Look nice... I cannot wait until I get to attempt to do the same thing... kind of nervous about it though. |

Looks nice. My personal taste would be to go with smaller signals now. |

Those are all nice.. I wish I would have been able to see where the turn signals were at before I did it.. But heh I am happy with it and that's whats important right? Thanks for the comments.. Now I just need to find a place with some sweet looking turn signals.. |

Robby - the bike looks great! DarkHorseMoto has license plate relocating kits that come complete with instructions and stainless steel hardware.
