Here it is i just got it dont, For those of you that ask, yes the plate is mounted really low but i have it hinged and it rests on the hugger when the suspension colaps'es the plate folds back.
I dont have any pics of the light on because i need to buy a new battery for my bike but once i get the battery ill post pics of it on. It looks awesome and it has intergrated turn signals, For those of you that ask I made the Undertail myself and it took alot of customizing.

very very nice indeed,question:do you get away with the manner you fixed the licenceplate to the bike by the men of the law?

hahahah Um.... oh well i dont care,
I dont know about the plate idea i havent rode the bike yet im waiting for a new triple tree, i broke mine when polishing it.
so i cant tell ya, After looking at it more today i dont think i will so i may relocate it, I built a side mount that hangs from where the passenger pegs mount. Ill post more pics when i get it,.... closer to finished?

yes i know i know, the triple wasnt my fault though, I have manual and i set it to torque which is 17-19ft lbs and i set it to 18 and well it snapped. I think my Torque wrench is broken.

It's not the torque wrench but the setting! If I remember correctly the measurement for the triple isn't ft-lbs, but inch-lbs!!! Wycked told me that's how he broke his. I may be wrong, but I'd re-read the manual before you start to tighten another one and have it snap too!!

Yeah i read the manual cause i talked to wicked about it breaking. He said inch also but my manual says ft lbs i read it over and over again.
18ft lbs isnt much so i may just snug it next time. And im going to lift the front wheel off the ground when i do it so it wont have as much pressure on it.
