Hey! That big ugly license light and that big ugly rear fender finally got to me. After looking at other memberā€™s bikes that had rear work done to them, I just had to do something.

I shortened the fender and hid the original license light up under the seat cowl.

I was able to keep my aftermarket helmet holders also. It took about an hour and finnal cost was $0.00

I like the new look. What do you think?

I agree, it sure looks good.

 

Hey TimBucTwo, that's cool. Question, where did those helmet locks come from? I don't think they were stock, were they? That's a 94?

 

Upon reading the thread title, I thought this would be about full face helmets and dark tinted visors. Alas, it's not. Carry on.

 

i was thinking about doing the same thing i just never got around to it..

 

R1000- Thanks

Illushum- The Helmet Guardian that I have I cut down. I hacksawed the ends and rounded the corners with a file. Re-painted the ends and re-drill for the lock to fit. Before I cut it down it had my stock fender flying all over the place. Don't get chrome. My brother's chrome is peeling off.

dad- Shut uuuuuup! Hey! I just wanted to see how many hits I could get with a catchy title.

Stinky-Way to easy of a job. I took a hacksaw and laied it against the turn signal using it as a guide and cut. I used a 1"hole saw and a smaller drill bit to make my three holes for the light. I pulled the light apart and used a 90 degree philips to turn the screw heads. You have to bent the ground tab 90 degrees for clearance. No washers needed. I did leave some fender behind the plate.

EDIT: spelling of corse. Also: No I do not sleep with my trusty hacksaw under my pillow.

Stinky93071, its way easy to do. Here's a pic of how mine looked after doing it.

Illushun,
The back end looks good!
On a side note, would you mind telling me what type of exhaust you have on your bike?
I looked at your gallery and couldn't read the name.
Thanks so much!!

 

Hey folks!
What about placing a hugger under the tail.. Is this possible?

Thanks!

 

Hmmm! Extra weight. Hmmm!

Don't see the piont in it. Just cut off what Honda put there and it is still basicly stock and doing the job, but shorter.
