yeah i hope you dont try stoppies with the horns.. the back of the bike will topple onto you if you go over the bars.. probably stabbing you fataly.. just a thought.

 

[liloldchevyvan]

liloldchevyman, what color paint did you use? Did you paint the rails too?

 

[liloldchevyvan]

nah, if you are super-uper careful you can actually make the horns, and by cutting away at the metal from underneath so to speak, you wont have to paint a thing. after we measured and cut our lengths, we used a high speed dremel and polishing bit(we just call them purple disks) and away we went. the luminum under the horns is gorgous and shiny. give me a day and i will get a pic of the underside.

Thats exactly what i did with mine. Cuts from the underside, then polished with a dremel look good and you cant even notice mine.

[liloldchevyvan]

rocco..yeah man, oxygen and i did what sounds like the same mod, and as long as you dont get into the metal, and work from the under side...no painting required, my tail and rails are still the factory silvers.

 

[oxygen151]

Exactly liloldchevyvan. Id post a pic but my bike is up at school right now under the cover for the winter months [sad]. I didnt even polish the underside of the cuts, i just smoothed them out and it almost looks the exact same color of the paint. Its hard to explain but you can definitely chop your tail without having to repaint. I also took the stock license plate light and mounted under the tail and then attatched my plate on the underside into the plastic. I have been surprised to not see anyone else that has done this. It worked out great and looks really good. I will get pics as soon as i get back to school.

PO did mine on my bike. Painted the rails and the tail black too. Came out pretty good

 

[oxygen151]

Well nevermind wardamneagle, you id the same thing with the license plate light. Good work, it looks good.

How long does it take to do the mod?

 

[CoastieRider]

about 45 min if you want to do the bull horn mod..

Speedkills, Are those the dunlop D616's on your bike? If they are how do you like em?...

 

[PorcelainRabbit]

[kc7zrb]

does the plate have to be lit on motorcycles? or depends on the state?
