During the recent snows I pulled off the side plastic & started exploring beneath.
I took off the rear portion of the fender liner & removed the stalks, rear reflector, & license plate bracket.
Then, I marked off where to cut it using permanent marker- sraight back to just under the crease below the turn signal stalks & across the back. My Sears light bandsaw cut it easily.
I was going to shorten the stalks but there's a bolt running through. I'm thinking about replacing the rears with the 1" shorter front versions: 3 wire- both running lights & turn signals... & using LED replacement bulbs.
It's on centerstand, & not licensed yet so there's no plate. I took off the bungee brackets.
The license bracket could be attached higher, & the fender that's showing forward of the signal lights could be cut higher, though I don't want to weaken support for the stalk.
