Rocker tail light
I installed side mount license plate holder and now the original (center) tail light looks just stoopid. Anyone changed that to something else?
I'm gonna keep the original fender for now and I was thinking of installing Sparto-style (as on Street bob) tail light. Or do you guys have other great ideas?
European models have tail and brake light on the same lamp on fender and turn signals are just turn signals. I also don't want to put the tail light to the side with license plate.

I was thinking those also, but I'm gonna keep the original fender and I think that all those covers (for example Kuryakyn License Plate Mounting Hole Cover) are ugly and don't make the bike look any better than keeping the original tail light...
Did you need to make any changes to bikes electrical system or did you just join the wires to original wires?

The only thing is, if you use 4 LED turn signals, then you have to use a resistor.
What do you think of closing the holes with some chrome screws or these allen hole plugs? A friend of mine did it, looks not bad.

I used a chrome emblem meant for a Ford Harley truck and a plug button chrome for a 1/2 inch hole to cover the holes left.
The emblem isn't a perfect match for the tank emblems but looks close enough for me.

No, you don't have to make any changes to the electrical system, just connecting the original wires.

to connect to the original wires did you connect under the fender or under the seat?
whats the easiest way to find the wires under the seat I'm going to remove the seat to install a load equalizer thanks.

OK
thanks.
Cool looking bike
Do you have more pictures? I'm trying to figure out what you did I found the wiring diagram of the fender and I can re-route the middle channel and make a connector like you did see pic.
