Cant wait to see the end result.
I'm sure your next one will be great! Look forward to knowing what you're thinking.

Some updates
Been debating where to hang the license plate. First choice was underneath the tail light. I could do this, but it would be at such an angle that it wouldn't be visible from the rear. Next choice was a vertical mount.
Purchased a generic mount, machined a washer and bushing. Also, got a longer used shaft which needed to be cut down and rethreaded.

Wasn't 100% sold on the vertical mount, and after some feedback from others... it'll go on the wall of shame.
Third option is less "chopper-sinister", and more modern ninja. Very simple.

Sometimes I wonder if my head is screwed on. Forgot the battery hold down brackets. A little metal work, grinding & welding.

While I was at it; decided to relocate the turn signals to the frame vs the seat cowl. Boxed in the license plate bracket too.

Sanded things down, and reprimed for painting (hopefully today)
