might as well keep the fender with that barn door licence plate you have :)  you have to get rid of that can, it looks like clown shoes WAY too big

I dont like the R1 tailligth it looks unfinish in the bike. i like as much as i can factory style replacment parts !!  my liscence plate is way to big thats what i move down again bc they dont fit in the middle of the signals ! i will bend all the liscence plate so I could get a new one. the new plates here in PR are very small and will fit in the midle of the turn signals . and for the exaust mine was broken ... remember the video I show you Frankie!! my bike was sound like a fu ck ing landmower. so I found this can for 15 bucks and 20 bucks shipping ... was very cheap and the bike sounds awsome now, also ALL  the people that have seen my bike tells me that looks good . its not the same in pics as in personal vew !!

hey Ben2go are you going to Fly ???? why you still have those Boing 747 wings for turn signals  :laugh: :cookoo: you are in a big need of a fenderoctomy so taht taillight could get more attention than the Mack Flapers !!!!!

dam!!! that plate is a huge plasma screen ?

my plate is a car size plate but bikes plate are now smaller. they are a few inches less on lenght. so when I change the plate i will move it up to fill the space inbetween the signals

Wow!
Israeli plates are definitely big, too :icon_mrgreen:
Now I recall that German bike plates are also very big, I've just come back from my holidays in Croatia and saw some German-registered bikes there, that's why it came up to my mind. :thumb:
