Ok so today I decided to chop the ugly rear tail section that comes on stock buell lightnings. I didn't take any before pictures so if you wanna see what I'm talkin about just google image search "buell lightning" and take a look at the ridiculous tail on that thing.
A good garage session always starts with good beer.

Here's the culprit! The center tail section after I de-wired it and got it off the bike.

I'm not sure the best way to cut aluminum, but the angle grinder worked out.

Now I had to shave it down to look somewhat presentable because its goin back on a pretty good lookin bike.

Here it is installed on the bike with the brake light and signals hooked up.

I also had to make a quick license plate mounting bracket but failed to get pictures of it. Anyway, I think the small booty looks better than the big one..
