Default Finished "Betty Bones"

After a year, I've finished my bones. She is now "Betty Bones" Before you ask, the bags were hanging in my brothers shed for years. Have no idea what they were for. Drilled one hole, and refinished them.

Hey I like that. Don't see the bags in the racks like that too often. I like the signal relocation too. Good job.

Looks good - very unique! How did you relocate the front signals - they look great!!! Need more pics too especially the front end.

I added more pics in my garage. Front signals, drilled and taped 5/16-18, installed stud. Some may think that wrong, but it's been that way for a year with no problems.

I'm sorry but it doesn't do anything for me. But that doesn't mean a thing since you are the only that has to like it. And if you do , then I would say job well done.

I've had a crush on Betty Boop for 60 or more years. This is my tribute to her. "Boop boop ado"

Hey thanks for the pics, you have made some cool mods to your bike. How did you invert the mirrors? Are they still the stock mirrors? Did you have to relocate any monting bits - drill holes etc? Do you find the mirrors are still effective/safe from the lower angle? I want to do this mod but have not been able to find anyone who did it with the original equipment. Thanks for any details. Anyy close up pics of the mirror relocation or the signal work?
