First pic. The square looking tabs at the very back are for reflectors or signal lights.

 

Second . Are where the stock stinger pipes mount up.

 

Hack them all off. As well as the fender mounts just below them.

 

Buncha other ones to hack off all over the frame. Cdi mount, tors box mount ect and a bunch of others.

I was planning on running full rear fenders but while cutting off the rest of the unused brackets I noticed that the tabs for the rear fenders are cracked at the bottom welds. So now im not sure if ill just cut those off aswell and run race cuts or weld them up. Bottom Pic shows a cracked weld for the rear fender tab.

Welded the rear brackets today. I used a stick welder because thats all I had access too and wow that was tricky. Used a 6013 1/16 rod at 45 amps and practiced on some scrap metal first until I felt confident I could do the brackets without burning through. Turned out OK.
