Default need some advice on my 88 hurricane 1000

whats going on i'm new to cbr forum i have a 88 hurricane 1000 that i built from the frame up its not completely done yet still need some more parts for it

i was thinkin about doing some mods to it one thing i wanted to do was change the rear wheel and put a bigger one on like a 190

two i wanted to do away with the licence plate holder and turning signals and mount the turning signals in the rear tail light and mount the licence plate under neath the rear fairing

three i wanted to do away with the front cowl altogether and mount two HIDS on the front and figure out some were to mount the front turning signals

thats pritty much it now i don't know if any of this can be done but i would really appreciate any input or “help” if anybody has any thanks

The tail light sold in Mexico has integral blinkers. Looks much better IMHO.See attached.
Don't go bigger than a 180 rear tyre, or the handling will suffer.
I'd leave the front blinkers alone - they are part of a stressed section of the fairing and removing them may cause the fairing to break at speed - not a good thing.
