The slot that's cut out is to fit a l.e.d strip light that incorporates tail and brake light also indicators. Obviously the main lights will be down on the mudguards.

I did that with the forks of my 400 Superdream - it had been standing in the open for two years. Exciting seeing them coming back to what they should be!
I used a paint on lacquer afterwards - many coats! Lasted for years.
