Hey all,

I was able to get out and put about a hundred miles on the scoot today...Came home, washed the truck - and decided to do a photo shoot.

Also, one of the stops I made today was @ a local bike/machine shop to have my custom license plate mount welded...I had an extra 'grab bar' laying around, so I hacked it up and made a template that I took in to have fabricated & welded. (need to get me a welder).

Anyway, I moved the plate from the top of the fender - down to the rear saddlebag mount. I also removed the top 'grab bar' (not sure what the technical name of the part is). I think it did a good job of 'cleaning-up' the back of the bike, and gives the a$$ a pretty unique look.

My wife didn't seem nearly as impressed as I was...

If I get a good response outta the plate mount - maybe I could make a few bucks on 'em.

The plate looks fine there, but that relocation brings up a question, how do you light the plate?
