Wasn't cheap, but it works well. Used it for the first time this past weekend and it passed muster for my needs. With the exception of purchasing the tour pack, I designed and fabricated the whole project during the Winter.Name:  20130617_162959.jpg

Ok so I am now on the hunt for some turn signals to replace the stock ones - want sleek but visible! Since I am going to be fixing the GD brake light mine as well get in while I am in and get this done too...Going to mooneyes website unless you all have some suggestions on where in Dallas Texas I can pick some up!

Looks great! Is it a permanent mount, or do you take it off when not on longer trips? If a full-time mount, have you thought of adding an additional brake-light on the pack for visibility?

Either way, outstanding job on fabbing up the mounts...looks VERY good

Any ideas on a diy fender bib. I hate my factory one but not too impressed with many aftermarket ones either.
