I'm in the same predicament. In blacking everything out on my Electra. The tip light is huge. I got a SG front fender on the bike now. I also bought SG rear fascia. I'm gonna have to pull the rear fender off and get my brother-in-law to fill the holes and paint it for me. I already have a taillight/plate holder that was expensive to buy. I just want a nice clean look.

Started out here

Got it to here

I agree hippie. I have those lights on my saddlebags wired as run/brake/turn, plus that Cycle Visions Eliminator taillight. The taillight flashes before it goes solid and is bright as all get out. I still have cagers try to ride up my tailpipe and kiss me. I don't think a little fender tip light is going to make that big of a difference. Once the SG rear fascia is installed I'll have the tribar light on there. That will keep them off my azz....

sure

I replaced mine with this one .....looks pretty good....and it covers ALL of the holes even the biggest one.....

I actually like the fender light & wish my RK had one. Instead, I have what you showed in the pic.

Actually, back in the day, I had a 1 million candle power beam mounted on the rear deck of my Ford Granada,facing rearward. When someone would get on my ***, a quick on-off flick of the beam was all it took to make them drop WAY back. Never once hadda fry anyone's cornea. Prolly get busted nowadays for something like that.

Ahhh...those were the days!
