Was messing about today and decided to add a few tabs for turn signals that don't need long mounting studs.  That metal is thin.  I could have done a bit more
on the weld up, but it could have got way worse, holes etc.   Its VERY strong as is.   

Just took a night ride. All lights work properly.  Thats a treat. 


Passes the 5 ft test.  This is going to be so much easier w/turn signal choices. I believe I can use the stays from the DT series w/this. 


Ok, I use one of those auto-darkening shields.  Somehow I lost track of my line.  surprise. 
 
 

I'm just curious.  One of the things I love about the early bikes is that they didn't come with turn signals and none are required.  Just wondering why you want to add them?

The turn signals are temporary.   I prefer the bike without them too.  

The original owner originally had a Calif license plate for the bike.  She wanted to keep it.  Later, she ended up "OFF HIGHWAY" vehicle somehow and when I got my title, it was an "OFF HIGHWAY" vehicle.  I was told by DMV to bring it to CHP for an inspection to make it eligible for a license plate.      

Called CHP, made appt, everything sounds like a go.  I mentioned the turn signals and he said, motorcycles require turn signals.  Keep in mind, he also said, he is the one that will be inspecting the bike.  I didn't want to challenge him on the issue, even though I thought he was wrong,  so just decided to add a pair for the inspection.

So the plan is to meet inspection requirements, chrome an unmodified rack, then further mod this one for my DT360, then its time to hit the streets w/CT1.
