The turn signals, tail/stop light, license plate and plate light all mount on the tail of the rear fender/siderails. Any bobbing of the tail will require relocating, replacing, or removing all of these. The run/stop light kit I added to my turn signals would allow you to lose the stock run/stop light. Or if your state does not require them you could lose the turn signals and just run a single run/stop/license lamp. Your possibilities are limited only by imagination and state vehicle code.

I remember when I was toying with the idea 6 months ago. Torque showed me the trailor fender selection at Northern Tool I believe. There were a couple of options and they didnt look too bad if ya painted them. I like the chrome gn400 look but I wish it was a little longer.

check ebaymotors for a gn400 and good luck

I looked at the fenders at the Northern Tool store this past week, and have about decided to get one. They are made of decent steel and are low priced as well.
