I was gonna pull the rear fender strut covers and paint/coat em black. I was thinking though - since the struts themselves are black can I just ditch the covers? will the shocks mount right back up? what about the rear signals? any mods required?

 

I don't think you will have a problem since that's how the new street bob come.

 

Pulled mine off from my 06 and have yet to look back. Actually sold the chrome covers.. worked out great!

 

cool - do the turnsignals just mount back in the same place?

 

you should ask: fatbobber08, he has done this to his fat bob and it looks awesome. he has photos in his album. check it out!! I'm doing it to my fat bob.

I had my covers off for a while

 

Yeah man, they mount in the same location.. I actually relocated my signals, and took off those UGLY chrome stalks seperating the signals and struts.. those things stuck out so bad and were just downright hideous.
