I sure would like to know. I'll be using that method to make me one.

Edit*** Same goes for a helmet...I ride to my college classes and I keep my helmet in my backpack but since there are no helmet locks what do you guys do?
I keep my registration, insurance card, and phone in the Boom Audio Tank Pouch. It's not so good for answering the phone, but I can at least see when someone's calling when I'm riding.

I put them all in a zip lock bag and tuck them under the cloth on the inside of my helmet. Where ever the bike goes, the hekmet has to go with it in NY.

Finished up some mods on the bike last week. I want to get a new mount for the headlight and change-up the rear fender.

How did you get the reflectors off the rear fender? Do they come off like the others? I haven't messed with mine yet because they are "sunken" in and I wasn't sure if they were just held on with 3M or not.

Looks great!

How does the ride feel with those handle bars?

The ride is fine for me, I wasn't sure what to expect when I first flipped them. I've ridden probably 600 mile since the flip and they feel great. I feel a lot more stable in turns with the bars this way. Only slight discomfort if I'm stopped at a light for a long time and I don't put it in Neutral.

They are held on with 3M. I used my wife's blow dryer and a very small screw driver to get them off. I actually pushed them out "away" from the bike by inserting the screw driver into the back of the reflector. There is a small hole in the back, if you use a flashlight and shine it on the outside of the reflector, you can see the light come through the back where the hole is. It took a lot of pressure on the screwdriver and heat from the blow dryer but I was able to get them off without scratching the "housing".
