Rear fender eliminated, Custom rear light, flushmount signals, and new color!

Hey guys, I recently got my bikes registration renewed and have been fiddling with it.

I plastidipped the hawk a new color again, a teal this time because like, why not?

and I spent a whole lot of time fabricating a new bracket for the rear light I bought. You can see the general shape of it in the picture, but later on I'll probably post a video of the brakes and turn signals. They are bright!

what do yall think?

I like it as I'm partial to shades of blue and/or green. Not seeing the turn signals, though. Are they intrigated with the tail light?

The teal looks really good.

I am going to guess that the rear light is one of those twin round light setups with the run, brake, and turn integrated into each side.

Not a fan of the color, but to each their own. Question though.. did you remove the old plasti-dip? And if so how difficult was it? And how well does it hold up on plastic that flexes? I have it on my turbine rims and it's been extremely durable, mud runs and a hundred pressure washes the last 6yrs, but that also makes me believe it won't just "peel" off as the manufacturer claims.

The last plastidip pealed right off in large strips. it wasnt too hard at all once started. It holds up really well to flex and vibration. The only parts that scratched off on my white bike were the hand guards and a couple small scratches on the side. very durable for being peelabls and so easily replaced.

yes it is an integrated turn signal Inside the the twin light, but I wasnt happy with the visibility from the side and from the back. So under the rear rack I added 2 6 inch yellow led strips aswell as the integrated. That way it also shows a clear indication from the brake light. It's very visible from the back even in higher up vehicles, until they're really close. you can see the edge if the strip a little bit

Charcoal Gray, but yeah, I can't believe the plasti-dip has held up this long. Must be good stuff, especially sticking to alloy rims.
