My latest mod...

Well, I've been needing to find a way to get my hard bags closer to my bike. The Kuryakyn License Plate mount turn signals just stuck out too far and would hit the bags. So I searched for awhile to find a solution, and wound up ordering a Badlands License Plate frame with built-in LED turn signals & plate light, and Dan (pepsX) helped me modify the stock license plate bracket on my fender.
I swear...Dan was like a kid in a candy store cutting and beating the heck out of my
orange
fender!
Anyway, he came through and did a heck of a job. I had my daughter paint it
black
('cause that's where black belongs...behind chrome or orange).
Here's the finished product. I was worried these turn signals wouldn't be bright, but they are freakin' bright. This is a high-quality product that fit the bill for my application. As usual, I took "a few" pics:
Modified Bracket vs. Stock Bracket
Modified Bracket
Backing Plate with Various Holes Drilled for Wiring
