Thanks. There's not really much to write up, but I'll find out what tools, etc. we used (I don't have a clue, something that hooked up to the air tank) and I can put up a pretty crappy before pic tonight after work.

 

Oh okay cool. I didn't know if it was intentional or it was some way to hide it.

I've trimmed my tail some but want to cut more away. Thanks for inspiring.

 

Awesome bike. Just bought the same one myself. Just wondering where you got the integrated tail-light? It makes it look really clean. Thanks.

 

I got it here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LED-I...Q5fAccessories

 

Below are before and after pics. I use the term "we" loosely here, my boyfriend and his dad did most of the work, I loosed and tightened a few bolts.

We used an angle grinder to cut just under where the reflecter is on the fender. Then, for the license plate holder we picked up a square of aluminum from Lowe's and cut it just smaller than the plate, with a tab on the top that we bent back to bolt into the tray where the taillight wires sit. The tab had to be a little bit thinner than the plate to fit into the plastic, but we cut it big enough to put three bolts through. We used a different grinder to smooth the corners of the metal and spray painted the front of it black (which you can't see since the plate covers it). I did take a pic of the finished piece before we put it back on the bike, but it's a really bad cell phone pic and you can't really tell what you're looking at anyway.

So heres the before and after, if anyone wants more detailed pics PM me and I can try to take some...
