Dude, I tried to flip the tail light but the clear part that lights up the license plate is on the bottom.
If'n I flip it, it will aim up in the air.

What do you think? Am I missing something?

Also, I cut the she-ite out of that fender.

I am at work now. I may go over to my dad's (where I am keeping the bike) and lay down some paint on that tail.

More pics to come.

Oh yeah! Thems is new blinkers on the back there. Suh-weet!!!

I seem to remember reading that someone flipped the tail light and cut out the clear piece, also cutting a piece of matching size from the top. Switch the pieces and use superglue or something to put it back together.

Seems like it would be tough to get it to look good, but then you don't see the top or bottom of the lense much anyway. I've never been confident enough that I would get it right, so I've never tried it

flipped my tail light and covered the clear with red electrical tape. Works great, and no one would ever notice if I didn't tell.
