My nighster's in the shop for the winter now and anything that can be sprayed has been sent off for a custom paint job!

2009, and both fenders rotting along the edges, so I've gone aftermarket with a fibreglass front, but an excellent piece of steel kit for the rear!!

I got it sent over from J&P Cycles (http://www.jpcycles.com).

The kit includes a rear light (although I'm tucking some extra leds under the fender edge as well) and details for anyone interested are:

Part# 710-392 (FENDER REAR BOBBER W/TAILLIGHT)

If you go to Advance Auto Parts, in the section where the truck lighting is, there is a round tail light with a clear lenses on the bottom for tag illumination. It's about $8.00 and can be mounted right to a tag bracket. I use them all of the time for bobbers.
