No weld frame change

[MisterCinders]

Can you maybe take a rubber mallet and take a few whacks at that flat cross piece, flattening it down lower so it fits under you pan?

I might try that first. If it doesn't work, I can run a post across the bolt holes as a substitute spacer.

Got my seat mounted and will need to cut the frame back.

Before I do that, I am mulling over how best to relocate the turn signals and license plate. I like the idea of attaching the signals to the frame with a bracket like this one:

Has anyone used this product? I need to check the dimension of the frame tube at the rear (bike is not here at work), unless someone has that at their fingertips. I think it is 7/8".

For turn signal brackets when I did my cafe I simply cut two pieces of flat alu stock 1" wide and approx 3" long. Drilled a hole large enough for the flat stock to take the place of a spacer behind the top shock mount and the other end I drilled a hole to run my turn sig stalk through. Worked like a charm. I used an aftermarket side mount license plate holder complete with brake/tail light I picked up at FlyNCycle.com. Easy peasy and it looked pretty good.
