And YES I AM aware that my shop is a total disaster. See the hole in the flooring. I had a fire from a propane heater that almost burned the place down. The insulation is done and the wood is almost all painted grey now, but everything has to be moved one more time before the floor will be done. I WILL get it all organized again after that. I hate working in it the way it is now but I had two bikes to finish and the scooter work to do before my cus can get on with the rest of the restoration of the shop.
I think this will count as a "Bang for the Buck" modification since I had the bar end mirrors sitting in a box for years and this turned out to be a good use for them. The black plastic inserts to fill the holes that were left when I took the stock mirrors off only cost 88 cents for a pair of them at Lowes.
To me the mirrors and the rear fender were the two things that just looked out of place on such a nice overall design like the Elite. I'm happy with both of the changes.
I think the look from the front is very different with the "TV antenna" stock mirrors gone.
I was hoping it would come out good. The next thing I'm going to do is go to the local shop that does stickers and wraps at very reasonable prices. They do all the logos on the delivery trucks and police cars around here. They can produce any kind of sticker that you can find a pattern for. Maybe I'll do some kind of "Tribal" design on the front and something smaller but in the same pattern on each side of the headlight.
