tail tuck

[Blathian]

whats the easiest way to do a nice looking tail tuck without spending a bunch of money? for now was just going to cut the plastic that hangs below the plate : )

Chop it off just below the bottom mount hole.

thats sick phat! can u please explain to this noob how to do that! and any model numbers ect for rear blinkers??? that would rule!
thanks
oh yeah what did u do with your front blinkers? mine are on black post, (stock 2005) thinking about cutting them off, and putting ones on handguards or flush mount in tank side plastic or whatever you call it : )

I trimmed the rear mudflap all the way up to the brake lamp, then I moved the whole thing in to make it almost flush with the fender.
I cut and re-welded the license plate bracket so that it is at 90 deg to the fender.
the turn signals are 02 or 03 BMW front fender repeaters, they have them for $12 or $13 each, and they come in clear and amber. they just clip into the fender sheet metal, so I made a "V" bracket out of sheet metal and riveted it in place. the lenses just clip into the "V" bracket.

my front turn signals are mounted on the hand guards, and I eliminated all the stock front light and bar set, and run an Acerbis front headlamp with a HID bulb.
