Looks like a really good fix but the my only concern is when you drop the bike. The metal piece can put pressure and crack the fender vs the turn signal giving in and snapping...
just my 2 cents and I have shorty signals.

 

My concerns too. I guess I will find out the next time my bike takes a nap while out riding.

 

What signals did you install? What mod did you do to shorten the tail section/plate holder?.....thread?
Thanks, G.

 

I got my signals at Cycle Gear for like $18.

 

wonder if you could just put a down turned end pipe in the end of the exhaust to direct the air from hitting the light? lots of guys do this to the 4 stroke sleds so you can carry a jerry can on the back.
Nice work tho, looks good.
