Rear Turn Signal Mod for the 48 (and others)

The stock lengths of the rear signal standoffs are a bit excessive and I wanted to remedy that without destroying the original lines/concept of the bike. I saw on another thread where the OP simply removed the standoffs...I choose not to do that but put shorter standoffs (off of a softail)

Here is a shot of the new/changed standoff on the left and the original on the right:

And here is the completed shot:

The part# for the softail standoff is 69933-08

The turn signal on the 48 (unlike the Softails which uses a simple/plain bolt) are held on by a special stud than must be shortened by an inch and then use a die cutter to cut new threads on the end of the stud...

Here are some other shots of the bike in its current state:

I have never seen such a aggressive looking Sportster. It looks very fast just standing still. I would bet its a blast to ride...:s
 
Have to agree with the comments above. This has to be one of the best looking Sportys I have seen! Love the overall look!
