JAXX the chop looks good man, but I think if you mount the plate on top it will look like it was tacked on. Is it possible to mount the plate off the side of the fender with t he top of the plate being even with the top of the fender and not get a ticket?

I love the first fender! Looks perfect for the bike as is. Those plate laws up there and European plates are just complete crap! I think it's a little overboard, and the laws are obviously made with no motorcycle rider input!

Thanks man, I will check out there website and have a look at it. I like RSD products, I am going to be running their grips and their V&H Tracker 2:1 exhaust.

That's an idea I hadn't contemplated. I will check in tomorrow with the DMV here and see if they can give me an answer on that. It would open up alot more options...

Thanks man, doing these cuts is fustrating and never seem to be able to get whats in my head to come out the same on the fender. Any encouragement keeps me motivated from walking away from this in fustration, lol... Thanks again..
