Just thought I'd show everyone my latest project, I replaced the standard rear light bracket with a Zodiac (modified) number plate bracket. I like the look because it brings the standard indicators in closer, it is a nice chrome finish, and it can still pass registration as is. What i did was make a stainless plate (polished) to fit the standard mounts and gasket, then drilled/tapped the plate to mount the new bracket. I also had to drill and cut the bracket to fit the indicators. Then last job was to trim the top to fit the Australian number plate. About 3or4 hours work but well worth it. What do you think? http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=1822

I have a similar set up, the lights look way better narrowed up. Also like your bar risers, what length are they?

Cheers guys,
Yes, having the indicator lights in closer is the best improvement in my opinion. I had thought about chopping the fender and using the Bonneville brake light but decided to opt for this set-up. I'm happy with it for now, I just need to do a few more miles before I have an excuse to relace/modify something else!
The risers are 6inch tall, they work well for me as I'm 6'3.
