lay down license plate for flht. Used a dremel to raise the holes in the bracket. Used a bench grinder to grind down the bolt heads until very thin and cut a screwdriver slot in them. Reinstalled and now I have a laydown license plate bracket for about 15 mins of work. No $$$$

Pic 3 - is a CD holder in my left side bag. It's one of the car visor holders that I cut the elastic straps off of, placed adhesive velcro on it and the insid of the bag, and stuck it on. It's removable if I need to and fits great! Also out of the way.
Pics 1 & 2 -are where I decided to mount myMP3 player(Creative Zen VisionM 30 gig). Used heavy duty velcro from WMT and ran a 6' aux audio cable up through my tank dash, down in front of the tank, zip tied to the main harness, and up in front of the neck to the stereo. Pretty clean and I like how it looks. Easy to use too.
I just bought my bike not too long ago, so I have not done much to it...yet.
I really like this thread. It needs to grow...keep'em comming!

I carefully pulled the reflectors of my bag latches, cleaned off the doulbe stick tape, sanded down the back side to remove the form marksand lightly painted them gloss black. I then reapplied them to the opposite side (since they are mirror image,) black out with double stick tape. Reflectors gone and it looks much better. Cost ZERO!

I don't know if this qualifies as a DIY but; take an old 5qt oil container, cut the side out and lay it down to use to drain your fluids...fits under the bike no problem

Hey Fast Eddie,
How well does the garage door opener work from under the dash? I have Craftsman opener, and they seem to be a little weak.
Thanks

For $89 I added two Polk Tweeters to my Hog Tunes and they make a WORLD of difference!!

How did you hook up the wires for the tweeters? Do they just tap into the Hogtune speaker wires?

Easy mod, and great sound.
