I love it. Did you have to rewire the rear signals to work as the tail light or does it do that from the factory (I don't look at mine when I'm riding)? Also, how was it riding with no front fender before you did the rear fender? All of my buddies say don't remove the front fender but I really want to.

BRAKE LIGHT MOD
Well, i wanted the turn signals to be brake lights so i purchased the run/turn/brake kit from my local harley dealership. it was all plug-n-play so i connected everything and took apart the rear brake light assembly so that i could use the circuit board and i placed all of the excess wire under the seat.
WHEELS
I used regular flat black spray paint and alot of green tape
fenders or no fenders???
I had alot of people tell me that i was going to regret taking mine away the first time it rains but i really didn't care. the fenders do not protect you from the rain or random water from "cages" that wash their windsheilds while on the freeway. i think the bike looks better without them but that's my opinion.
