Well it's a nice look. You did a great job, but I need to stay legal. LOL. So I'll probably have to buy a kit...

You could always do this mod then add a light. Something like this:

License Plate Light

or this:Lite Bolt

I took my stock license plate holder trimmed it up, bent it, enlarged the hole & mounted it to my lower shock bolt. Out here we don't have to have it lit.

Look at topfuel's bike in the "post a pic of your sporty" sticky. It's on the last 2 pages.
Thanks for the props!

The funny thing is, is that I made that braket from a front bumper mounting bracket off of a dodge ram. I was going to throw the bracket away and then I got to looking at it and saw that is was a real thick gauge metal and there was a slotted hole on it that was big enough for the shock bolt. I think it turned out pretty good. I used a plasma cutter to cut what I needed and cleaned it up and painted it. Added a few lights, trim and whala!
