Not chrome, stainless steel. It already had some “texture”. The bartenders friend has almost no grit/abrasive. It didn’t take a lot of elbow grease so I assume there is some chemical reaction also.
And a big thankee from me, because I have stainless 2-1's, and they blued at the junction. I recall that Blueaway or other products for this were ,expensive,
A cold beer cheer for this man!

Reason: autocorrect screwed
License plate bracket mod.
Young son wanted a laydown bracket, but had a zero budget to work with.
So, he simply removed the rear stiffener and reflector, pushed the rest of the holder over, and accidentally trapped the phillips screws. We eyeballed the screw locations, started with a pilot drill and worked up to the screw head size to get them out and make it serviceable. Lighting was accomplished with these ebay license plate LED bolts wired to the empty socket inside the taillight normally reserved for the FL style rear fender red tip light. Vibration worries shouldn't be an issue with the cast metal Emgo frame around the plate that also covers the new mount screw access holes. I blacked out the top of the tail light with some flat black vinyl, but I think the bottom needs to be done also. When I do my Low Rider, I'll tape off the rear lens and mist some black inside to reduce the red edges seen from the outside. Total investment = $15.
Sorry for the big pics, I don't know how to shrink them from saved album pics.
No radio required or desired. 2004 883 cleaned, serviced, lightly modified to taste and ready to ride, spring 2018. It's a great machine.

Is that a NOS bottle being used as a catch for the breather bolts to intimidate/impress anyone looking at it?
If it is, I think that's an awesome idea!, I'll put that one up there with leaving your empty pistol holster attached to the bike, Might as well let 'em know!

It's just some bottle that I had in the garage - it's a fake - no idea what it was originally used for. He even added some NOS solenoids for a Holley plate system that I had hanging around, just peeking out from under the tank after this pic was taken. The vintage NOS and Screamin' Eagle stickers are from years of accumulating stuff, and when I ran the squeeze on my stock Ninja 900 in the 80's . Either way, I think it sure is a cool scoot for a 17 year old kid's first street bike (that he bought, cleaned and serviced himself, BTW). The hula girl bobble on the tank gets more attention than the bottle, though, LOL!

Yeah, I noticed the hula girl right off the bat, too. Does look good, though. Thanks for sharing the info.
