    IT looks very simple and it is.....
    very cheap too...
    All Home Depot
    $8.00 18 x 24 22guage piece of Sheet Metal
    $6.90 4ft Pre-drilled Angle Iron (Steel Piece)(you can get shorter piece but they break when you bend them out and not very strong)
    $3.00 - $6.00 Jig Saw Bits
    Dollar Store:
    $1.00 Black Sharpie
    $1.00 Standard 12in Ruler

    You will use the stock light (you need to break it down all the way like you have to change the bulb)(Two screws in back will be reused)

    You will reuse the stock Fender bolts and screws.

    1. you will cut a 5in x 6 1/2in square
    2. mark where you need the holes for your plate
    3. make sure your angle iron holes line up also
    4. first bend your angle iron to the angle you want (see pic)
    5. after bent you can cut out the center of one side for the piece to fit up to the bottom of bike. (you can use a dremmel or jig saw( better lines with sharp jig saw blade))
    6. cut your pieces
    7. drill your holes
    8. for the bends, you need a bench vice: bend the sheet at the top of the plate bend about 130 degrees one way, then flip it over move up 1/4in and bend back 90 degrees for the light to sit staight up( i will post a pic of the angle shortly
    9. put licence on and the bolt to the bike after


    if you are not sure about this use a thinner sheet of medal that bend easy and try it your self to see if it right for you. I had the back fender already off to do this.

    A+ for creativity but id rather just pay the extra $10 to buy a ready made one that comes with a led light.
