Well I think it's a big plastic piece that also holds the red reflector. I can see you have the reflector on the left side, check your right side and see if you have one or not, I think it's all one piece plastic plate, with the turn signal wiring going along the top of the piece. I might try to make the gap on mine. Might be a passenger hazard though, jacket sleeve get caught in there or something

Could you look up inside the fender for me and tell me how the right turn signal wiring is routed? If it's still on some kind of plastic wire guide along the fender?

I did it in such a way that it still goes through the hole in the rear of the rear fender, but I pulled it tight enough that I made sure it would not touch the tire. I tried taking a picture to show but it doesn't come out. Basically what I did was go through the hole in the fender next to the tail light, so the wire is inside the tire well. Then I snaked it outside and over the top of the second fender bolt. Then back inside just by going under the fender, not through a hole or anything, and then I sent it back through the rear wire hole from the inside. By going over the top of that second fender bolt, it made me able to pull it tight as well as make sure it stayed away from the tire. Hope that's descriptive enough haha.

Update for all, got a few more things coming actually. I decided to go with DK customs speedo relocation to clean up the top of the handle bars as well as a set of their slip stream trap footpegs. Minor stuff, but lots of little things add up to a big difference. I'll make sure to put up lots of pictures so everyone can get an idea of if all that stuff will look good on their own bike.

Nope whatever is still there is gonna stay. It actually isn't too bad on the engine, especially since the 08 nightster have that weird gray color on the engine anyway. The really bad stuff was on all the tins which has been all taken care of now lol
