Yes rear fender will be removed this weekend. LED strip will be delivered tomorrow the only item I don't have covered yet is the light for the license plate but I'm sure ill come up with something. Pics will follow.
Nice, what color LEDs are you going with? Looking forward to seeing the photos. I really want to lower my bike so the gap between my seat and rear tire isn't so large. It bothers me every time I see it.

Smoke color strip with all red LEDs. I wanted rid if the dogs ass but didn't like the gap from fender to tire and refuse to lower cause I ride it like I stole it.
The ones I have seen with the rear fender removed look horrible IMO. I'm not into the motocross look on my vrod. Hopefully yours looks nice so I can copy it lol.
Mock up done. Gotta heat and bend the led strip, drill a hole to hide the wires, mount the plate and figure out how to hide the bolt hole by the shock that sticks out. Also have to fabricate a clip for the passenger seat. All before 4 when I leave for work
Let me know what you come up with. I still have the holes as well. You never know when you might want to use those holes.
I was thinking about putting diamond plate under the seat, and above the wheel. W/ green LED accent.

I dunno nasty03 I know what your aiming for, but it seems like there's somethings missing.
I know, maybe fill that gap with a guard, to stop all the road grime hitting u or your passenger in the back,that would also
solve the problem of redundant holes.
Alls I can say is I am by no way done just not sure what direction I'm gonna take with it. Might move the plate up under the led strip or make a small "fender" under the light.
Having the riding blues tonight, tomorrow is supposed to be mid 60's, but I wont be able to ride as I have been committed to installing a garage door opener for the parents. Sunday, well I work 3rd so I will be sleeping and then it is dropping back down into the low 40's. Mother Nature is a cruel woman!!!
