Default RE: HOW TO - under fifty bux tail lite relocate








Hi All,
This only works on the bikes with a PLASTIC license bracket. Cost: 2 hrs. plus some stainless nuts, bolts and washers.I jacked up the bike and removed the lower shock bolts so the wheel would drop down. Then CAREFULLY removed the wires from the little clips inside the tail lite and unbolted the lites. Using the lite brackets for a pattern I drilled 2 holes in each side of the license plate bracket. Next feed the wires back into the tail lite, rebolt the lites using the fender washers for backup inside the plastic license bracket. plug in the wires and check that they work.Thenreplace the tail lite lens. Fill in the unused holes in your struts with the allen bolts or whatever you prefer, maybe reflecters. SorryI could not upload pics. E-mail me I will send them.

Got a dipstick in the mail this afternoon,I have a good many old stainless steel blades
(flea market cheapos) floating around the desk drawers
so I opted for a stubby to begin my project.
I am planning to do more as I found it quite fun. I am going to make an assortment,
I want a longer one right off the bat but the stubby has its charm also.

I twisted and rolled out the stick, this one canme out quite easy.
Ground down the knife end, got her hot enuff to melt the plastic ball
and then poked it back in the hole.

Seems strong enuff to me but I am considering filling
the rubber seal up with steel epoxy (I love the stuff)
It will make it heftier and stronger too I imagine...

I ground the saw/shark teethe in the top of the blade just because it looks baDASS.
I am going to drill the indicator holes tommorow at work
and also fill the rubber gasket with steel.

Thanks for the cool ideas. Ill post more as soon as I make some.

Got your cap yet Battersby? Nice indexalso btw.


Good job Thomas. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Roncame up with a good one here,
and, his will be hard to beat.

I have a dipper to work with now,
but, it does not look promising.

The 06 up Dyna has a hard to deal with design.

I am making another one today I started yesterday, new way to do it... I dont know if it will work for you on an 06 dyna stick
the rubber comes off the sticks ater you get the indicator off, it just prys right out or it may twist on a newer model.
the rubber sealis quite thick at the top, almost an inch. I took a 5/8 paddlebit and drilled a hole about 5/8 deep it formed a very nice hole. very factory looking clean cut(I was surprised). then I ground some nubs on the blade tip where it enters the rubber to grab at the steel epoxy that I filled the rubber hole up with. makes like a hat for the top of the blade and noway will it loosen up. I think its stronger than the original...
attached a diagram...

second one.

1. Drill hole in rubber seal w 5/8 paddle bit
2. Grind blade to fit hole I made it into a T shape and I sharpened the tip...
3. Force sharpened tip thro rubber. (be damned careful here you could cut off your fingers on the razor sharp blade)
4. Twist blade 1 half turn so its out of the slot.
5. tape up blade level and square.
6. Fill top hole with epoxy.
7. replace metal cap.

Finished!

Almost...
All I have to do now is put the chrome cap back on, and grind the blood marks on it.
Tommorrow.

Under $50 and worth every singel penny of the $10 it costs!

Drag Specialties Polyurethene (sp?) Handlebar bushings. I installed a set of these, purchased from Dennis Kirk, to go along with my new 6" straight risers and the difference is night and day with the control and response of the handlebars now.


Another cheap mod...remove the stock fender strut covers if you want the black look;
