so i decided to make an FE, i went to home depot with a fellow biker and walked around. found a piece in the lumber section that looked like it may work. grabbed that and then 2 small L brackers for the turn signals. i came home tore it all down and went to work.
i mocked it up once to get hole locations. i used the holes under the tail as to set it in more. for the tag i stole the piece off the current fender, i then used the studs that stick out of that to mark for holes. i took the L brackets and bottled them to the middle piece, the stolen bracket on top and the L brackets behind. I used spacers as necessary that were from the original.
i then took it all apart and painted it. put it all back together with some aftermarket turn signals and mounted an led light to the plastic under the exhaust for tag light.
i can give more detailed steps as needed but i need to find the rest of the mock up pieces to take pics of them. for now here are some pics when done and the mock pieces i could find.
total cost of parts from home depot= 10 dollars.:thumbup:
i know the wires need to be cleaned up but i have not gotten a chance to get the conduit, and the price is a little high since i did it twice once for mocking and once to put on bike. i had the lights and paint sitting around already. i hope this can help someone that wants to make a cheap FE. :rockon:
