Here's mine... 


You HAVE to get the foot peg and carrier powder coated black. and the exhaust hangers

zLoki

lol, yeah I know.  That and the fork.  But those require more than just a couple of bolts a day of not riding so I'm putting it off for now.

I'm mid-install on the Comp-Werks tail kit, and I'm finding that the two rearmost bolts on the big flat piece interfere with the taillight assembly when I'm trying to bolt it together... Did you guys use the plastic spacers?  Am I missing something?

Well it had to happen, first ticket for the plate using the comp werks.  This may be specific to California but I actually got the ticket for not having a red reflector.

I bent the plate a bit to make it more vertical.  Careful not to bend to far.  Then added the reflectors from the stock tail kit.  It's easy enough but I did not bolt it on, a couple of ties on the top and bottom, attaching it behind the plate will work.  Note the plate now only attaches via the bottom bolts, the signals on the top bolts.  Pic will be forthcoming. 

This is pretty stable and is easy enough to snap off after getting it looked at by the  [leo].

I'm thinking of getting some of those glass (or plastic) jewel reflector license plate mounting bolts:

Plastic: http://www.prestomart.com/viewitem.php/classiccargoodies/pd401440/License_Plate_Bolts__Red_Reflectors__Set_of_Four_

You think a couple of those would be a good enough (legal enough) cop-deterrent? or would they only be satisfied with something more like this:

I wonder what the actual law says...

I installed mine tonight, took about an hour, but had the old fender off already, love the look.

Now lets melt the snow.

Went to get the fix-it ticket cleared for not having reflectors and I had the small plastic ones (red) on all four holes of the plate.  The officer said that was enough - he signed off the ticket and off I went.  I've since taken two of them off (looks better) so maybe I'm in for another ticket but willing to chance it

BTW - I've switched to the DP version of the tail, with the CW, I was wearing way too much of the road.  Still get a bit with the DP one but it's MUCH better.

well i officially road the bike to work today. and was even stopped by the german cops  [leo] albeit for a random stop. I DID NOTHING WRONG. they did start to say the bike was too loud, but i said really... no.

but the looked at the R&G tidy tail and had no issues.

w7ck7d, nice photo, bike looks great!!

Do you have any trouble not having rear lights? or do you have em in the light?
