Correct me if I'm wrong...but the whole black tailight/license panel assembly should unbolt without removing the fender...

NO way I'd try it on the bike. I'd prefer to take off the plastic assembly and find a shop who will do it clean. I don't mind spending the $$ for it to be done right.

if you can get in there and take it off...was a super tight fit. I couldn't get in there with a wrench and take it off so I just did it mounted for now.

How about this:

Not sure if that does what you want or not. There's several different parts you have to buy it looks like. Not cheap either.

I would take the entire rear light off.. close up the entire hole with sheet metal following the fender lines and finish it off with a good paint job. Then I would convert my turn signals into running/brake and turn lights... This is just to keep the old school look.. For a more modern look. cover up the hole with sheet metal cut vertical sleeves and place LED lights (running/brake and turn lights), and remove your turn signals on the side.. just a couple of ideas..

I don't want to add the LED tri bar piece and it looks funky with the plate bracket removed anyway (from pics I've seen).

I just can't believe a company has not created a replacement tail light housing/panel with eliminated plate bracket. Seems like such an easy thing to do and plenty of people have asked this question before me.
Doesn't look "funky" to me; looks like it did when da guys started putting their front fenders on the rear in the way-back-when.
