Here is a pic with the factory bumper off and turn signals temporarily zip tied on. This is my daily driver at least until the nice weather comes. Then the motorcycle comes out.

Here are some updated pix...Installed...







I still have to decide on what to do with my turn signals. I really like the smooth/clean look, so I don't know if I want to add surface mount 2" rounds to the front of it. We'll see.

Nice work on the bumper! I want to build something similar, except a place for a winch. For the turn signals, you could convert the front side marker lights into functional blinkers to keep that clean look. That's what I'm planning to do with mine, using LED's inside the factory housing. Good work!

Why don't you do the side marker - turn signal mod? It's pretty cheap and easy.

Think that is what I'm going to do. Choice is to add a separate light or replace the one with a dual filament one, right?

Good looking bumper. For turn signals, why not use the ones you've got and recess them into the bumper underneath the headlights? I think that'd look pimp.

I don't remember the length. I think it was 16 gauge wire.

Thanks. You have to use the photobucket full website, not the mobile, and you just copy it the same way as you do on a pc.
