Thanks man! Still working on it but two more kids later and a job that is almost 2 hours away from home has really slowed down the process.

LOL. Yeah. Unlike most folks, I don't mind being seen in the dark.

Tuche'

Last night I relocated my turn signals off the bars. Had an epic adventure for what should have been a 30min job.

I certainly understand that. I've got 3 myself (oldest 9, youngest 2) and work 50 hours a week as machinist and I run a swimming pool business on the side, so working on my bike happens late at night, an hour or two at a time. I put 6000 miles on it from Sept to March, and I may have ridden 1000 miles since Mar. I may be the only guy in the world that puts more miles on my bike in winter! -lol

Turn signals look great!

I really think that I am one of the few people who isn't bothered by the reflectors. I also have the ones that are on the stock tag bracket as well! I thought about removing the ones off the forks but only because the last time I washed my bike I felt one coming lose on its own. But all joking aside, I ride ALOT and under any time/condition so I like having as many little things that make me just that much safer/visible. Especially since I ride a motorcycle whose paint absorbs almost every bit of light and doesn't even cast specular highlights! If the reflectors do fall off I don't think I will bother remounting them but until then as you say, I will continue to rock them!

I was looking at pics of yours a while back. I really liked it and almost considered doing it myself. But I'm still young and like the modern custom look. Overall I think you did a great job and kept it simple, which makes it look killer.

Not talking smack, it's usually the last thing I notice. For some reason to me they stood out on your bike.

I still have the red reflectors on the back, hidden under the swing arm, and the little red ones on my license plate. The ones on the front came loose on the top so I pulled them off and cleaned it up. But after doing it and looking at it now, it'd be the first thing I did.
