I liked the look of the newer bikes, except the rear end.didnt like the old style square tail light like my 01 dyna has.a gap on both sides of the fender .wished the tail lights were put there .but,that's what makes the world go round........

You guys are kidding me right? These bikes have been out for 3 years now. The holes in the back are so you can add saddlebag guard rails if you want them. They are no longer on the bikes like they use to be. See the install instructions.

I noticed in Daytona that a lot of the new tour bikes have two large cutouts in the rear. I finally asked someone and they said that's the way they come? If you want a filler strip you have to buy one.
I am outraged. It looks like ****. It looks unfinished. I would never buy a bike that looked like that.
Ok I am done.
