Howdy folks,
So i got tired of the strictly 80's look, and got tired of worrying about my shoddy signal brackets, and instead decided to swap things to something more reliable, sturdy, modern, and trim. edit: forgot to mention I also relocated my horns to the side orientation just under the headlight. now they sound to the left and right to alert people who don't check their blind spots, it's also a bit neater and more trim around the headlight.
mods: returned to the stock seat, swapped signals for smaller Aluminum casing signals from K&S, swapped tail light for smaller metal cased tail light, swapped MIZ tail from short rear fender from Samurider, swapped to 2017 style grab rail in Black, using a modified homemade bracket, which also houses the rear signals.
and here's a shot of the little bracket....it's very low profile. you almost can't tell it's there. i'm impressed with myself.
i gotta say, seeing it together, this seems like the way Honda should have set this bike up from stock. the '17 grab rail is just SO much better. the shorter rear fender and smaller lights are a big plus too. I think i found the aesthetic sweet spot for this bike.
