Default Need help on a fender design

My rear fender blank will be here next week and I need some help. Can I see pics of some custom rear fenders that everyone likes. Please post as may pics as you have. I have some basic ideas, long tail, no tail light (Turn signals work as tail light so I am going to take advantage). Thanks for all your help.

I already chopped my stock fender, cut right at the end of the struts to delete the tail light mounting holes.

Joe, are those your turn sigs right behind the struts, if so what kind and how bright are they. I am wanting to set up optional saddlebags and am limited on options. I like the fender idea (2 into 1) but I am trying to get rid of that contour groove that goes along the fender, I just want a rounded fender. Thanks for your help, I hope you don't mind, but I will probably drop you a line for other advice. It seems like your pretty experienced with anything that can be done to the bike. Killer bike too.
