"My. That sort of looks familiar"

I assume that I'm copying! Sorry, but then imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

Rear chrome bits all off. I continue to be amazed at how easily even exposed nuts/bolts come undone on a 18 YO bike - either whenever anything has been dismantled in past threads have been given a coat of copper grease or it really has never been out in the wet!

Now to figure out a way to mount the flashers direct to the fender.....

I don't care if your idea is similar...they'd never be the same anyway Tongue

You haven't seen my scoot? I've had the fender like that for a couple years with the signals in the fender rail holes. But recently, I started mounting a rack, changed the license plate mount, and moved the signals again.

Besides, it's really not as much a copying or a flattering thing...it's just a cool idea Grin

hammered my "fender" on a tree stump

LOL. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do...

You should have seen me using our Dodge truck so that I could put a nice slow radius in a piece of 1/2" square steel stock. My spouse thought I was nuts, but it worked Tongue

"with the signals in the fender rail holes."

A clue as to HOW would be good! I'd like to keep the stock ones, but the only neat method that comes to mind is to thread the mounting studs and bolt up from inside - and I don't have a die set. Otherwise I'll have to buy new front and rear - got to match, obviously!

A certain charm about Vroom's job, but I wouldn't get more than half a mile before being busted and given a good "thumpin'"! "Failing to comply with Construction and Use Regs? Should know better at YOUR age grandad. In the car..."

I have new signals for the rear...haven't found front ones that I like yet.

Want a hint? They are ALL over this forum Tongue

Here's one from yesterday...
