I was wondering if anyone can show what you had to do to get your bike plated. In new hampshire I think all i need is a horn,headlight, tail light ,break light. I may be able to just put a folding mirror on and wire up a horn. I was looking on the sicass site and it was going to cost 275$ or so to get the whole set up,blinkers,lisc plate light,flasher etc. I really dont want to hack into my new bikes wiring harness and possibly create an electic problem esp since i have no kick starter. any help appriciated! :mrgreen:

The money for the Sicass kit is well worth it. I installed their kit on my FE450 last month, and all went smoothly. there is no "hacking" involved, all the peices are plug and play, going directly into the existing wiring harness. You will not cut a single wire. I had them add a key switch to the package (for my own peice of mind) I went with the front turn signals intergrated intothe handguards, a very clean install. The directions are well written and include pictures. Using their kit all I will have to do is add a mirror. Good luck
I also went the SicAss approach. I probably could have done it myself for less money IF I knew what I was doing - but I didn't. I was very pleased with the SicAss kit. I also got a keyed switch. The main kit includes the front and rear wiring harnesses that plug into the existing main harness.
I used the standard front blinkers and they mount right up. The headlight/front fender brace has mounting holes already in place.
I had three challenges with the installation:
1) The rear plate light was a little tricky because the rear fender is V-shaped. The double sided tape didn't work, so I ended up taping it to the top of the tail light. I also had to add some length to the rear blinker wires so that I could route them out of the way of the rear tire if I bottom out.
2) The horn. It took quite a while to settle on a good location for the horn. The instructions suggest mounting it to the headlight, but I didn't feel good about mounting something that heavy to the screws in plastic. I ended up mounting it to my radiator guard.
3) The key switch. There is virtually no room to install the key - anywhere. So I ended up making a mini dash board that holds my key switch, grip heater switch (and indicator LED), and my home made map switch. I am not 100% satisfied with it, but it seems to work.
I took a lot of photos along the way and ended up doing most things at least twice before I was happy. My photos are here:

When I bought my FE450 I was not planning on getting it plated - but then I learned how close it was - it comes with front/rear brake lights, hi/low beam headlight, horn button and harness. All I had to do was add the horn, blinkers, plate holder & light, and a mirror. I am very pleased with the result.
Oh, and I modified the headlight so that I could aim it done to hit the road. The stock design lights up the trees. There are instructions on KTMtalk on how to make the mods.

thanks dee,joe I will probably go for the sicass set up if i dont pass muster with just a horn wired up and a mirror. I hear my state is easy with the inspction stickers but i suppose who is giving the inspection..............
