I love your blinkers and mirror set up. I think I am going to steal this idea if you don't mind!

I ride a Hypermotard on the street so I am very accustomed to a wide set up.

LOL, you're welcome to it...i'm not the patent holder on this set-up

To be honest...it took a while to appreciate - i hated how it widened the bike, hits your hand (when first installed) as you lift off the bar, and generally gets a nudge from people trying to squeeze between bikes (you can flip the mirrors fully left and right so they contact the bar end, giving your hand/glove more space if u need it...i did)

After a few rides though the overall functionality took over, and i left them installed on my 2013r for 2 seasons - and, it was no debate when the 2015 showed up...i just put them on - if you can come to terms with the nit-pic issues i described, you wont believe your eyes literally, when you see what you get for visibility, along with zero vibration - single best addition for me after DQS

I forgot to shoot a pic of the tail....i gave it a full buzz cut and flush mounted the blinkers with the New Rage Cycles unit - the one that has the led's along its edges, and flush mounts up to the tail under the subframe...and while commonly this install will tuck the plate back towards the exhaust loop, i installed mine closer to the end of the tail (behind the flush mount blinkers, but forward of the exhaust loop by 6" or more), so it almost appears to be in the more conventional position

Can you post photos of the tail with the relocated license plate bracket? Been contemplating in moving mine which is right at the exhaust loop.

...sure...i had these on my phone already....they aren't great....but you can get the idea...just in case you're not familiar, the rear blinkers are LED's embedded in the white strip between the plate and rear tail light - there is also another LED used for the plate light, directly above NEW YORK (required in NY)

the plate, while appearing to be hanging out in the middle of nowhere...is exactly what i want - personal choice, opposed to up by the exhaust loop

Did you drill holes on the bottom plate with the lights or the bracket for the license plate? Or both?
