Where did you get or make the carbon fiber brake light border?

Also, what are you going to do with the hole where the license plate goes?

It's really not tough. More intimidating than anything.
-Regarding these lights, I'm working on a plan-B. These look great from directly behind, but get lost quickly from almost any angle. I like the cool look, but need to improve my safety. Plan-B is already in the works. I'll post more pics when done!

You're gonna like those mirrors - I have an early Kury version of those . . . cleaner and gives a better rear view than the stocks . . .Plus the lights are great!

hmmm, some signal mirrors and then ditch the front signals ugly bar. I wonder if there is any law / spec that the signals have to be at a certain height. I would actually think could be better visibility to other drivers having the signals farther away from the headlight

Not sure about your state law, but up here it only specifies they have to be minimum distance from the headlight, nothing about a max distance, I am guessing that is to stop the headlight from overpowering the turn signal light and making it invisible.

Since the very beginning I've been messing with my machine. But this weekend things have come together quite nicely. (that doesn't mean "Finished" )

the (almost) original look experimenting with potential exhaust ideas:

If you decide to do the same or similar, making a lic plate bracket was amazingly easy!

With OE removed:


My new hand fashioned bracket:


Side-emitting LED strips for turn signals. Will eventually be paired with a run/turn/brake module:
What mufflers are those? Look like a set of d&d's I had on my Interceptor a few years back.

will have to investigate. I was more concerned that maybe there may be a height spec that the mirror would exceed
