It's gonna be located in the same spot as yours but I'm also gonna have the ignition switch built into it...and I'm thinking maybe a small plate for the NYS inspection sticker. IMO, that's the perfect place for the license plate.

Man, you really did a kick *** job on it. Congrats!
Wow thanks for all the compliments guys, I usually expect some neg feedback and non so far? Where are you guys?! Guess I'm doing something right. Ergo, just do it, I doubt u will ride 2 up very often! Lol I like the ignition idea! I love where te plate is... I used to actually pay for tolls but I have been so broke lately... Now I just drop my foot in front of the plate! Hahah. Thanks for the compliments can't wait to see yours done bro

Looks sick man, a few very similar ideas to what I'm currently working on. I was brainstorming how to mount the fender, and it's nice to see one of them done before I actually pull the trigger on it. The bike looks super clean, and I love homemade, do-it-yourself mods.

You said your friend made your pipes? They look a lot like the SikPipes I was looking at. Would he be willing to make another set?

Man it seems like nobody reads any of the description I post with the pics. (no offense to you I have just had a lot of questions from people where the info is posted) I can try and take better photos of how the fender was cut. And for the struts I had my friend make them for me, I knew what I wanted and just had him make it. If you look in the 3rd pic in the post you can see how the fender was cut
