The TG needs a little rear end bling
 
This evening as I left work and walked out to the TG & it struck me as needing some kind of bling to highlight its rear end. I'm talking about the area below the tourpak & above the bumper. I'm looking for DIY ideas. I'd consider vinyl graphics maybe but there are no local shops so I'd need something I could do myself.

Pin stripping? Air brush?

Not really, in a graphic, just something simple & decorative, probably white in color.

How about something that would enhance your safety, like a sign that reads WARNING! RIDER CHEWS TOBBACCO! That ought to keep the tailgaters away from you...:icon_idea1:

we added the HD mud flaps, chrome bummper, and a chrome V-Twin emblem to each fender about 2" above mud flaps. also being a XXX added the luggage rack and sissy bar. sets it off but not cluttered.

Mine is white and all the nuts that I ride with want me to put a Red Cross or an Ice Cream sign on it.

Do a google on "ice cream man from hell" and you will find the book cover, if that's what you were talking about. Might be offensive to some so I didn't post it, lol!

I added chrome tail light collars. Added a little shiny to the back!

I think you can also add chrome frame work around the tour pak lights.

I added the chrome to the tour pac lights. here's a pic.

Then I also added the HD script emblems to the side. They were tank emblems from a road king.

Nice touch! I like that script! How did you mount them?

BTW, has anyone tried to mount the 2011 "Tri-Glide" script on the front fender instead of "Ultra Classic"?

Looks like the tank badges off a Street Glide, if so, double sided tape....

They are mounted with the tape that came with them. The only problem I had was that they are curved for tank mounting, but they are plastic so they will bend flat.
Iv'e purchased the Triglide script but havent put them on yet. I'm thinking of puting them on the side covers.

I got the idea from Larry but went with a smaller straight line scrip (P/N 61774-51T) and mounted them on the side of the Tour-Pak (perfect fit, looks like it belongs there). They are through bolted so they aren’t going to fall off. Double sided tape is a problem in our 100* + heat.

I used some chrome lettering for my advertisement. However, you can say what you want and do it in chrome, instead of settling for whats already written in vinyl.
