I use nevr dull, cleans that satin finish nicely. Apply it and then buff out with a soft cloth.

I agree Dave. Nevr-Dull works awesome on all metals!! Plus it is so easy to use.

Hey Earl, the license plate bracket I'm using is a Cycle Visions Eliminator. Here's the link.....

It's a little pricey, but I was fortunate to get mine at the local dealership on the 75% off rack. Was chrome, but a little HD satin spray paint was all it needed!

the light is a $7 dollar trailer light from supercheap you could get one from home depot and then just cut 3 small strips of rebar and welded them around the light run the wiring and soldered and heat wraped all up it cost about $20

If you want a full drawing let me know i will do one up but it will really depend on the light you buy just sit your light above your plate and trace around it and then fab it up ,its better than paying $180 dollarsfor a custom one
Cool thanks man. I wanted to see how it was mounted to the axle. Not sure if I feel comfortable taking that nut off or not.

As long as you use a trouque wrench to do it up again there is no issues set to spec in book you should bechecking the nut reaulay anyway even though it has a sir clip on it

Here some with the sissy bar fitted adds a bit of depth i think getting the look slowly still need the forward controls and a few more ideas to add yet.

Are those HD street slammer bars?

I'm really torn between 4" pull back risers, 16" apes, or the street slammers.
