Looks good. Did you have to plug any holes? Those bags still look great. Do they taper in at the bottom at all? Just wondering how they clear the rear axle nuts.

Doghair, clean clean. Doesn't look like you went with the LED license plate frame, did you? If not??

Thank you.

The hooded led frame is in ups hell, maybe this week.

There were two leftover holes under the housing. Dab o' silicone will keep everything sub-safe.

The bags don't taper, they clear no problem. Even though these are temporary (duals and deep bags someday), I like them. I can fit a jacket or half helmet in one easily.

That is my next addition. It looks so much cleaner than stock.

All done. The shipping gods smiled upon me today, all six leds lit up, it fit like a glove on the mount, and I didn't break anything. Crimped power off the old plate bulb and left it operational, any running light is a good light.

Very happy with the look. No bleed over from the running lights thanks to the hoods and the light blue is a nice contrast to the red lights (pic=no justice). I really do not miss that white spotlight out the top of the stock housing.

The mfr of the frame is Radiantz, decent quality from what I can see, we'll see how long those surface mount leds take a pounding.

Some days are just better than others.
