Author Message   Smit3833 Posted on Sunday, April 18, 2010 - 09:08 pm:        Well I got sick of the stock fender and finally got rid of it. Put in a smoked integrated turn signal LED tail light, additional flush mounted turn signals, tucked the license plate nice and deep and gave it an LED plate light under the tail. I used the EBR plate plug to fill in the gap.   03fatboy Posted on Sunday, April 18, 2010 - 09:10 pm:        Looks awesome!   Smit3833 Posted on Sunday, April 18, 2010 - 09:13 pm:        When I'm riding the bike the bottom of the plate rests on the tire huger.   Thedavyboy Posted on Monday, April 19, 2010 - 08:37 am:        Looks clean !   Boogiman1981 Posted on Monday, April 19, 2010 - 09:55 am:        how is it currently secured?   Jules Posted on Monday, April 19, 2010 - 10:15 am:        When I'm riding the bike the bottom of the plate rests on the tire huger Is it hinged then? Otherwise the first big bump you go over will either wreck the hugger or the plate. Guess there's no pillion going on your bike then LOL Looks very neat though   Kirb Posted on Monday, April 19, 2010 - 11:26 am:        How big of a guy are you? What is your rear tire pressure? You may want to bump up your tire pressure as you have the tell-tale signs of the pirelli blue halo.   Skntpig Posted on Monday, April 19, 2010 - 11:35 am:        What if you put it so it follows the tail. Does it make it more or less visible (legal) if it is at the same basic angle but pointed in vs out.   Myotherbike Posted on Monday, April 19, 2010 - 11:39 am:        Kirb, I have the 'Blue Halo' effect on my tires too. The tires are inflated to the suggested PSI per the manual. Maybe I should bump up my pressure a little. I am probably 265 with all my gear on.   Kirb Posted on Monday, April 19, 2010 - 11:42 am:        Another guy on here said he upped his pressure to 40psi rear and the problem went away...I think he talked to the rep or factory. I guess the sidewall flexes too much, gets too hot, and causes the situation you see in the photo.   Smit3833 Posted on Monday, April 19, 2010 - 01:48 pm:        Whats the 'Blue Halo' your talking about? I can see 'it' now that I'm looking for it, but what does it mean? Side effects? BTW I'm about 5'8" & 165# in gear.   Vinb Posted on Monday, April 19, 2010 - 03:19 pm:        I got that blue halo but as far as I can tell it was just from sitting all winter. Cuz its gone now.   Fresnobuell Posted on Monday, April 19, 2010 - 04:18 pm:        Cool you are about guaranteeing no one behind you will see those turn signals.   Brumbear Posted on Monday, April 19, 2010 - 04:33 pm:        I was getting it bad talked to pirelli they said up the pressure I went to 41 rear 39 front no problems so far
