Very cool man.
The turn signals and horn combo on the downtubes is something I've never seen before. It looks slightly out of place in my opinion but you've done a great job customising everything and anything unique has my thumbs up.

I did think about that a little,but I wanted to keep the forks uncluttered as much as possible.I'm gonna be powdering the trees here shortly,with some black apes,and losing the front fender.

Yeah that one shot does make it look a little "bug like".Not sure if it will stay that way forever....just jonesing to mod really,and get those lights off the bars.May lose the horn,or relocate again when I go with apes.It never really ends anyway,right?Thanks for the props.

If you really want to clean them up right swap those stock turn signals for smaller led. They have this small bullet-shaped ones for example. Even if you decide to keep them in the downtube (which I still don't think is a good place, esthetically or functionally) at least they won't be as noticible. Just my 2 cents..

Hmm...maybe I shoulda put this in the cheap DIY mods thread.Wasn't really looking to buy new lights,just see what I could get away with with what I had.Not really a fan of the bullet LED's.I'll find something I like better I'm sure,but for now they'll do.Rather spend my money on my apes first.Thanks tho'
