The tail lights are turn/brake/and tailights using a run/turn/brake controller from Kuryakin. Works really good

HE$$ Yeah, boy! That rocks. When I bobbed my rear, I was thinking of some point or something like you have done, but wasnt too sure, so I just hacked it straight off...looking at yours, I wish I'd have been more creative. You nailed it! Great work!

I have to admit I was going to hack it off straight across but somebody else came up with the point. I didnt even think of it until we taped it off both ways. If I didnt like the point, I could have cut it straight later. If I cut it straight firsty I couldnt add the point later

It would be cool if you cut a similar point into the front of the front fender.

The raised edge is black door edge molding for a car. It covers the unpainted edge until I decide to paint the fender

The point is good cause the fenders short but it still hides the view up under the fender. When you cut it straight accross you'd be able to see too much space between the tire and the fender at the rear view point.
It'd look really good if you lowered it and made that fender closer to the tire..but with those longer pipes you might not wanna do that.

I did and I do scrape when I lean the bike over, but it is not bad. BUT, My bike is flat blat and looks like a bruiser, not so shiny and nice, so I really dont mind. Each his own...AWESOME fender though!

Wendys are fine. When I ordered them they raised that concern and there are clearance issues like chain guard has to be cut to clear the frame and if you have the Freak kit on your bike you have to cut the one tool baox tab off or bend it out of the way. Other than that there have been no problems and I expected those when I ordered the shocks.
