The stock ones were either black or white, so you could just add those in black and not have to do anything to repaint your front end. my2cents
except this way, its going to be fiberglassed onto the front fairing to become one piece. then comes the bondo and alot of sanding. that was marks consern.
ill see if I can make it mountable like the stock ones that screw in.itll be a challange, but hey. :shocker

LOL....you're are too funny man.....I think you should do a Electrical Tape Riding Jacket write up!

back on topic, that cardboard looks cool and it wouldn't take much to fiberglass that bad boy into the fairing.
