Any pictures with this on the bike from a distance?

Hand made from a 6 inch by in inch piece of machinable ABS and the main bracket was a 6 inch by 1 inch piece of 6061 aluminum.

Looks solid Thumbs Up I have a similar idea for the FEK on my STD using the RS grab rail and deleting the stock chrome fender..

Where in the east bay are you? I'm in SF but work in Palo Alto

They're certainly on the rare side, I know another person that owns a '14 STD with a Yoshi pipe but thats it. Would be cool to link up sometime Beer

What bulbs do you plan on using on your light setup?

What bulbs do you plan on using on your light setup? The only issues you will have is the dealer doesn’t have any info on a bike not sold in the U.S. market,I found that out when I put the spoke wheels on my bike. I everything it the rims,spokes,there’s and tubes came from Samurider in Japan,the RS was never sold here so you won’t be able to find anything out about parts,at some point I’d like to have an RS seat so that will have to come from Samurider as well. Send me your email and I can give you some info on how to get the parts. This taillight I’m putting together has 2 bulbs,I want them as bright as possible so I’ll look into options when the time comes.

Lol sh*t when it comes to stealerships, sometimes their parts dept. are clueless even for USDM bikes ROFL

I was honestly surprised I was able to order an RS part(black grabrail) and have the order fulfilled within the same week. As it turns out, I was told I snagged the last one Honda had in inventory on this side of the pond, if it weren't for that it would've been back ordered from Japan and probably would've taken weeks for me to get it.

For my setup, I plan on fabbing up 2 brackets:
One for the rear frame mount & turn signals, then do away with the chrome fender and another one for the license plate, with an aluminum shield/liner of sorts to keep the dirt from splashing all over the place

Going to PM you- happy to bounce ideas, neighbor Thumbs Up
