Default The TG needs a little rear end bling

This evening as I left work and walked out to the TG & it struck me as needing some kind of bling to highlight its rear end. I'm talking about the area below the tourpak & above the bumper. I'm looking for DIY ideas. I'd consider vinyl graphics maybe but there are no local shops so I'd need something I could do myself.

Not really, in a graphic, just something simple & decorative, probably white in color.

How about something that would enhance your safety, like a sign that reads WARNING! RIDER CHEWS TOBBACCO! That ought to keep the tailgaters away from you...

we added the HD mud flaps, chrome bummper, and a chrome V-Twin emblem to each fender about 2" above mud flaps. also being a XXX added the luggage rack and sissy bar. sets it off but not cluttered.

Do a google on "ice cream man from hell" and you will find the book cover, if that's what you were talking about. Might be offensive to some so I didn't post it, lol!

Never worked for me, will just pull in the crazies who will pull up next to you at 70 miles and hour and want to bum a chew!
