I've done a few mods on my bike, but I don't think anything cleaned up the lines of the bike as much as this did.

Def one of the best low cost mods to the Lux for sure. I made the plate bracket out of 22ga stainless and bought the tomb stone light. Easy install to.

Looks well cool!
When you move the plate down below, does it mean you have unused holes where the bracket used to be.

I made my own plate mount, but used the Taillight assembly from them. I think it really cleans up the rear fender as well.

No, the lisence plate mounts to the top of the stock tombstone light. When you do the lower bracket for the plate it mounts under (behind) the new tombstone light. No holes. The new light doesnt have the mount or light on top.

I did the softbrake along with the Radiantz w/o removing the fender. I don't have small hands either. Just need the right tools to get to everything. Tailight will have to come off again to connect in the wiring.
