I just finished my tail chop on my 06 xb12Ss long and it turned out great! I whacked off the end of the original, bolted it underneath, and used it for the license plate and turn signals and license plate light. I swapped the front and rear turn signals and made a bracket similar to crissy above but narrowed. It did a good job of sucking the turn signals in alot. I'm trying to figure out posting pics. Sorry. P. S. ALWAYS hate to hear about a rider down...
