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.

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.
