DIY: Pregen Fender Chop/Flush mount turn signal mod

I am starting this thread as a dyi for anyone with a pregen 250 who wants to do a fender chop. I know, you are probably saying, but the older 250s don't have big fenders. Granted the engineers did make it look stylish, I think it still leaves a little to be desired.
This mod goes hand in hand with turning the rear fish bulb turn signals into flush mounts.

Here is what the back end looks like to start:



First I am going to turn the rear signals into flush mounts.

Then I am going to make a custom fiberglass fender which will serve 3 purposes:
1) Hold the license plate
2) Be large enough storage under the seat to hold the owners manual, registration/insurance, a roll of tape, flashlight, disc lock, and a bottle of water (maybe 2). AND Keep it all dry.
3) Look better.


I am going to update this thread in about three weeks with some more photos, progress, etc. I plan to finish this mod by mid february (I go to school full time, so that is my first priority). If you have any questions, feel free to ask away If you have any comments/ideas, I'm more than willing to hear them.
