    Looks awesome, are those self-contained lights, that cover over the old holes, or did you do some bodywork?



    What I was looking at are LED bulbs that just go in the stock 1157 receptacle. Since the Vetter lights are only visible from directly behind, anyway, I thought those bulbs might work, except for the price.
    Nice day, if it doesn't rain...

        Just make sure the bike is the only thing that goes topless!

          When you pull the old round lights....simply connect the remaining holes into an oval with a small hand saw and the truck LEDs will fit perfectly.

          Han Solo - If you read this thread on my SuperTrickk exhaust mod then you'd know the story.

          Webb - The "Governor" goes topless frequently. But no one around here will see it.

                No no Webb...you're at the wrong website. That's XXXS11.com!

                Dell - I just found that thing in the trash and thought it looked cool!

                Seriously that is a Laminar Lip. It throws the slipstream up making it larger. So it allowed me to bob my windscreen. With the windscreen bobbed I can see right over it...not through it so when it's dirty or raining it doesn;t affect my vision. The lip raises the slipstream back up to where it would normally be with the full length windshield.

                Ok guys here's some shots after I got through playing today. I installed a backrest pad on the stock "sissy bar" and lights on the rear deck of the haard bags.

                  That lip thing is a cool idea, either way I am going to trim my windshield down. It's impossible to ride in bad weather if you have to look through it, and I don't like the glare from oncoming headlights, at night, if I have to look through it.

                  The windscreen is to deflect air, not look through!
                  Nice day, if it doesn't rain...

                    Exactly.

                    There are some guys that take their chopped windscreen to a plexiglass place and have the curve a lip on the top side. This will effectively do the same thing AND look better.
