I've got a couple of quick observations about that bike (not knocking it in any way). I'm surprised that whomever owned it didn't take the time to relocate the front signals (as you want to do). The windshield comes with the relocation kit, to move them to the forks. Secondly- I like the chrome oil tank (not stock on the FXST). Nice looking scooter! Again, congrats!
