cbr74's no cost VN900 license plate mod

[cbr74]

Found a fellow member who graciously sold me their MeanStreak rear signals for a bargain price. Here's a rough chop of what it will look like:

Nice work, it's much cleaner.

Idaho huh? I've spent a ton of time terrorizing Latah County and Lewiston...

Heres the cleaned up rear of my Meanstreak, I removed the bulb holder from the number plate lamp, scrapped the lamp and fitted it in the overhang of the fender, we must have a plate lamp and a reflector here in the UK, the reflector is now fitted to the backrest, Steve.

I just added a stick on reflector right below the chrome plate on the sissy bar and it looks and works great!

I am new to the forum. I would like to know if can buy the chrome grills that are on your turn signals or do I need to buy the entire light. You said those came off a mean streak. What year and size bike? Can those be bought at a dealer or do have to find them from an individual that has a mean streak? You said that Rebekah might have a set that came off the front of her bike. I do not know how to get in contact with her. Can you please help me. I do have a 900 LT. Will thoes fit on it? Thanks

Just to check I went to the motorcycle laws by state sight to see what Missouri's laws are. Heck, I don't have to HAVE a brake light, turn signals, lotta N/A's in the columns. I have a Darkside sticker on my fender you could just barely see. Then I put my Iron Butt tag backer on and forgot that it totally covered my sticker. I think I'll take care of that this weekend!

What's a "darkside sticker" ?

I did the cbr74 plate mod today. I have got to say it is amazing what a small change like this can do for the look of the bike. I love that I can now see the bottom of the fender.

That was a long list of mods ago. I've since gone to an integrated tail in the rear and Nesstech signals up front. Hence, I have the whole set of stock signals from my 900 just collecting dust. The chrome grills are a separate piece, I can't remember the brand at the moment. Anyway, for $50 shipped U.S., you can have all 4 signals including the chrome grills. Just keep in mind the connectors have been cut off.

Just let me know.
