Pre-gen front turn signal hack

If your fronts are bashed or crashed or you just want to minimize... I've used this hack many times... less than $10 easy

Need:
*Pair of "eBay" universal signals
*old flat auto license plate (not stamped raised numbers---smooth style)
*4 small bolts/washers/nuts
*rattle can satin black spray paint
*tin snips/scissors
*Drill and couple correct size bits

Make a paper or cardboard template-- it will same for both sides but inverse...
Mark holes for plate bolts and signal hole/backing bolt from inside with sharpie
Cut, drill, paint....install!

Pics pretty obvious...

***very sturdy and cheap-- done it a dozen times.

Get as careful as fancy as you'd like...
I've also used thick plastic or pieces of old fairing to do same project and color matched it to bike...

Also to put a new and nearly free "male" end on your ebay signals that are just single or stranded wire...(if you dont have any of the fancy cool squeeze on kind laying aroud...) you can use an appropriately sized cotter pin...

nip it short
Spread it slightly to pinch wires in there
SOLDER IT!!!
heat shrink wrap

then squeeze it with needle nose to get it right size to go fit snug in "female" end of your bike's OEM turn signal harness and plug it in...!

Very innovative. I used a 3d printer to make the mounting plates you show here. All do the same job, although long term I like your way.
