ORIGINAL: Rainier

heres my little hack job. its alright. put my license plate inside the fender. perfect spot for it.
that's nicee i never thought about putting the blinker's where you got them.... do you get much trouble about the tag placement? do you have tag lights on it? i went to homedepot and bought a piece of metal of some kind and just drilled it to fit, then bolted it through the trunk, if you hack alll the back plastic stuff off, you'll find a little rectangular piece that cant be cut off, i put my after market blinkers in the side's of that

I have the 96 model but I plan to do the 97-98 solo tail convertion with a sharkskins tail, and I found this site http://www.flyncycle.comand they have a sweeeeeeeet integrated LED tail and turn signal for the 98 model, you should check em out. But I must say you guys did a really good job on your bikes

Thanks. If you want to mount it like I did in the first pic, take a hacksaw and cut where the 'line' goes across (in between the turn-signals). Make sure the line is perfectly straight before you cut. You can use a file to clean up the cut when your're finished. Pull your seat and mount the license plate light underneath the tool tray. There a small hole underneath the tool tray close to where the turn signal is mounted. You can run the wires through there.

If you want to mount it like the second pic, you'll have to remove the rear reflector and cut a hole just big enough for the back of the license plate light. I also had to dremmel out where the mounting screws go.

Not sure about where you are, but here in TX the license plate has to be lit and you must have a reflector on the rear. That's why I have the cheesy circle ones.

I have a piece of diamond plate bent up unter my tail, and I have led arrows glued into the sides of my light. My plate is also bolted under the fender on the black plastic, which is actually part of the seat. I havent had any problems with it. I got pulled over and the cop never said anything about it.
