I bought a zx12 tail lt to try out next.
this is how it looks now.



I think your looks good. I'm just trying to point out the short comings of the tag up under the lt. I think it looks better up tight but it is more form than function, if u know what I mean.
By the way, how do u get muti pic in 1 post ,like u did above?
you 2 are killing me!!! :laugh:

Well, I finally got the head light all completed... Minus the wiring of course...

Same as tank Dupli-Color spray can gloss black with 2 part clear coat. Wet sand in between paint and clear coats with 1 week flash/cure time. Then wet sand clear coat and buff out with rubbing compound.

You'll also note an addition where I replaced the front brake distribution and brake switch... I found a new item at JP cycles where the switch is in the banjo bolt that is attached to the master cylinder....

"How did u cut out the letters in the alum plate? "

Drill/dremel, hack saw blade and small files (flat and round)... No joke, this is how I did it! ;)
