looks good, what are you going to do for signals and how are you going to mount the plate?

^ thats what I was going to ask.

Custom fabricate some signal mounts in that untertail. Don't know where you plan on mounting the license plate tho...maybe on the side like the cruisers?

Otherwise...doing it right and making it look good will be a task. If you pull it off...major kudos




R6rupture you have really come a long ways from a few months/year ago havn't you?

I would include some kind of lip on the undertail, right under the exhaust. You could drill some holes and poke through some leds for signals. Could look pretty trick.

fender eliminator = replaces that big ugly ass fender that holds your license plate with a small contraption that moves your plate right next to your undertail

Undertail = the piece of plastic under your rear seat that gets dirt all over it from your tire. Most people will refer to an undertail as ONLY an afftermarket undertail...which usually looks better on your bike

In all honesty, that looks pretty bad. I would leave it the way it was...from the factory. That's my opinion.

Personally I would fab somethin out of sheetmetal which would be a hell of a lot easier to get a quality finish, also I'd make a lip around the pipe
Good luck and props for diy'in it
