relocated my rear indicators dyi brackets
Ok I had better do this in the small window i have of not being pissed, yep one of those weekends, 2 reasons for me relocating my indicators, 1 is of course they are so fuggin ugly 3 inches out in the breeze like a wing on a bloody plane so wanted to bring them in nice and neat.
2nd reason is i made a sissy bar that I can throw on in just a couple of minutes for when the better half or kids want to go for a squirt but getting at that back mounting bolt from inside of the guard was a pain so made up a bracket that hangs down from the rear bolt hole, welded to the inside mount and machined a nut that is also welded to that mount, similar to the one for the front bolt but mine is a bit beefier and stainless.
anyway it has done exactly what i wanted, just should have done it months ago had everything ready to go, will get some smaller bullets soon too.
seat is getting recovered will post pics when done should look OK, nice and low profile like a barebones but only cost $40 to get covered
not much comfort but ok for short cruises.....
oh yeah, made up some small oval shaped stainless covers to cover the hole where the indicator wires used to come through the strut cover...
have a good one guys

rear light is actually the standard one and I don't like it much,
I don't like how all the standard stuff sticks out so much but I guess its a saftey issue so they can get seen easily.
I have just ordered a smoke laydown one this morning, another thing I've been meaning to do for ages....

Funny, my blind butt was looking at your second photo and now I can see it is the stock with the cover off. Thought you had a smoked lens on it already. I should not do this late at night.
