So does the little led put any light down on the road??
It's actually pretty bright. I'm not usually around my bikes right now once it starts to get dark out but I'll get a pic to show what it looks like when I get a chance.

Since I went to the DME subframe, and removed the passenger pegs, I needed to come up with a new license plate solution. I didnt mind the plate off to the side but I prefer them centered on the tail. First I tried a cheap universal billet piece from ebay, and I actually liked it a lot but it doesnt fit now that my bike is lowered. So then, I made myself a Competition Werkes style tail tidy. Well that lasted about a day. It was kind of flimsy and I lost it this morning on my way home. Retraced my path and could not find the plate anywhere, so that was fun...

Ended up reusing the bike side mount and adding some thin rod and cut a new plate side mount. Welded it up and I'm kinda pleased with how it looks. It's a little crude and I'm not a good welder, but all things considered, I don't think it's too bad. Sandblasted it and Cerakote black this afternoon. I'll get some pics of the completed piece on the bike once I get it mounted for good.

For the first time, that seems like an excellent pass....well done you....
Thanks! I still have some tweaks I want to make to the bike, and my launch needs some work. That’s where I’m losing the most time. Just going to keep going faster!

Absolutely! She was SUPER nervous for my first pass (she makes herself sick from worrying about things) but once she saw what I was running compared to the other Busas there, which all had way more drag modifications than me, and some 1441 bikes, she was all into it
