I used the 2017 (rs model) grab bar for a cleaner look.

Hey there CBH your bike looks very cool. I'm curious about what your requirements (law) are for a red tail & stop light / registration plate illumination / turn signals.CBhooligan_imp said:

That looks fantastic, nice work. Did the 2017 bar mount right up or was modification required?

Nice one... Looks really good.
I used the '17 plastic part of the rear fender for a cleaner look too.
If you look at a '17 compared to previous models the plastic part of the rear fender fits closer to the frame and gives more space around the rear wheel. It's about an 1" to 2" but visually it looks far neater to me. It's a straight fit but you have to make a small cut out for the seat lock. The part costs about £60 in the UK. Not inexpensive but worth it if your a pedantic, nit picker ;-)

By law, the registration plate has to be visible, tail light, stop light and turn signals are mandatory , something the LED strip complies with. Fenders are not required. California Highway patrol are very sympathetic towards vintage looking motorcycles .
good idea!camoto_imp said:

Indeed! But that would mean the rider would have to carry water. :dodgy:

Heh, um, sorry Daniel ... not sure what PB meant by the "eavesdrop".
The rear end is so simple that the license plate can be folded under the seat, maybe with a pull wire, maybe just reach back by hand. Some riders actually do this on sport bikes. This helps them avoid being scanned by cameras on electronic toll highways. This is not suggested, but some nevertheless do it. 407 toll rate can be as high as over $0.50 Cdn per km (~ $0.60 US per mile) which I think makes it the most expensive non-bridge, non-tunnel toll highway in the world.
