Rear Fender Mod
I have been wanting to modify the inner rear fender and move the license plate up directly underneath the taillight. I looked around but didn't see any mods that kept the stock turn signals.
So on a whim last night, I decided to go at it. It was really pretty easy. I removed the whole inner fender and removed the light for the license plate. I used a Dremel with a plastic cutting blade to chop off the fender just below the blinkers. Then, I cut the housing for the taillight so it was flush with the rest of the fender, thus leaving a rectangular hole where the light used to be. Drilled a few holes for the plate and voilą. Cheap, looks decent, and I got to keep my stock signals. I ordered a set of Custom Dynamics Tag Bolts to illuminate my plate. Will wire them with the stock wires for the original light. Just thought I'd share.ImageUploadedByMO Free1352588795.871191.jpgImageUploadedByMO Free1352588807.233172.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Motorcycle.com Free App |

I went all the way, but it was done within a week of me getting the bike.
Nice mod and still have the turn signals.....I am sure it is one of the first of a long list of things you will do...this bike likes being 'attended to'...

It was one of my first mods. Looks good! I recently went to an integrated tail light and side mount plate. Having trouble with the Clear Alternative tail light (bought before reading the sound advice of the brotherhood), but overall I am very happy with the mod.
I still dig the look of yours, which keeps the original signals, though. I forgot how big the stock setup was, as depicted in your before pic! No wonder most of us chopped that thing - after the water heater that is!  Happy modding! Sent from my iPhone using Motorcycle.com App |
