A FE is not that hard of a thing to do, depending on how comfortable you are grinding and cutting stuff. Depends a lot on what model you are doing it on also. Try a search on the subjest and see what you come up with.

Search for Blue Fox's "Raccoon Tail" I believe it should be in the How To section.

here is what I did with part that can be purchased from your local hardware store..
I made a metal bracket out of sheet metal and painted it flat black with Krylon. I used a 1/4" drill bit for the holes.




Loosen the allen bolt holding the exhaust pipe clamp. Slip the zip-tie and the "Tab" between the exhaust pipe clamp and the pipe. Tighten and trim the Zip-tie.

I made my own using the stock fender, a belt sander and some paint. Though, I purchased a tag bracket instead of making my own........it only cost $30 bucks though.

unfortunately i dont have pics at this time but it was really simple, i took the  stock stuff off, and there should be a metal bracket that the plate and frame bolt to, it should have two legs off the top of it that have bolt pegs, bolt the plate to the bracket, there will be some excess  metal on either side of the plate that i cut flush with the plate for looks, i bent the legs on top of themselves so that the pegs were stickin straight up. I positioned it unter my battery box, i drilled two holes into the plastic battery box and re used the nuts from the old setup to secure it, all i had two buy is a led liscence plate light that bolts rite into one of the holes on the plate, (about 10 bucks). Ive had it on my bike for about 2 years and it works great. Ill try and get pics up soon.

That zip tie will not last long.....and you will probably have to buy a replacement plate, if thats the only thing connecting the plate to the exhaust clamp. When I first got my bike, I didnt even think about checking how tight the plate was fastened before I went out. Needless to say, I'm on my third liscense plate. After i got the second plate, I made sure to tighten the plate as much as possible and even threw on 4 zip ties and somehow the damn thing still came off.
