I'd really like to see what others have done as well. The stock setup is really lame....

I'm sure there are a few who have done it. Got to remember there will be some holes in your fender afterwards....

I found plugs at the harware store that look pretty nice. I just hated to put the bracket back on after seeing it with a cleaner fender.

Hope this helps...

I had been looking for a side mount plate with no luck. When the Slim came out I was looking at it and found that I liked the plate mount that it had. Priced it out at the dealer and said "Ouch" close to $300, but it was still the one I wanted. So I kept my eyes open on the forum here and found a guy that had removed his for another style of mount. Purchased it from him, just needed a couple of other parts to make it complete. I was able to use the extra power connection inside the taillight to get power for the plate light. Next is the lay down smoked LED taillight

As far as the holes on the fender go, I am using a challenge coin holder from Motordog69. I have one on my air-cleaner and liked it so I got one to cover the fender. Once I find the coin I want it will be complete.

Pics below...
First one shows the new mount and the coin holder:


This one shows the fender closer in...


Finally, this is the coin holder on my air cleaner

Once again the Cycle Visions Eliminator. It comes with a cover for the holes and puts everything in one sleek piece with leds. It is extremely bright and flashes 3 times when you hit your brakes as well.

The cyclevision solution is awesome..... but $359 is just a bit ridiculous. Just don't think I can do that. I can't imagine that there is not a similar solution for a reasonable cost.

I called Dr. V-Twin and got it for 309 shipped and yeah that is a big hit but for the brightness, safety, install ease, and no more lights to burn out it is so worth it. I also like how the turn run lights are red but the blinkers flash orange. Always remember, you get what you pay for..... $.02
