LMAO. Yeah, dad got a bit carried away on the pics and I was too lazy to filter, so there ya go.
The rear wheel (and new shocks!!!) should be on this weekend and I'll answer your question then.
Also, I put in my order for a set of clear Lockhart Phillips series 1 mini stalks now that I'm relatively satisfied with the new taillight housing.

In theory, yes. Mine didn't fit worth a crap though and needed some serious refitting to be presentable at all, so I don't think it's the same one--or it's an early casting before all the kinks were worked out..

I didn't quite get the idea of it. Could you please post another 2 dozen pictures. On a serious note did you use the stock holes on a stock fender for mounting.

Hey, don't look at me--dad took those pictures!
We used an existing hole in the fender for the top. Two more will need drilled for the bottom. I don't care because my rear fender is tweaked anyway (although it cleaned up better than I figured it would).

Bahahahahahaha. It was much easier to just select all -> upload -> generate code and I was too lazy to do otherwise. I have noted my indiscretions for next time.

Mmmm, I sure hope not..
I agree. I copied this and blew it up and you can see the from about the 10 o'clock position backward to to 2 o'clock (the end) it appears not to be completely home. Chase it around with a screwdriver and tapper to make sure. You may want to put you clutch tool back on. You could also turn it around and put it in the other way. Sometime they remember how it was originally and seat better.KEV-C said:

Hmm. I see what you're saying. I'll double-check tonight. Thanks for the heads-up.

It's fully seated, but we haven't adjusted the clutch at all yet. We'll probably get that done tomorrow.. that is, if I can get my Infiniti fixed first. POS. :\

Are the shocks longer than stock. Maybe the angle, but the rear fender looks like it sits higher in relation to the tire. I really do like the tail light. You could have the extra holes filled with stainless weld and a chrome shop could grind and buff it out. They can usually roll the ripples or dents out easily as well and it's usually pretty cheap.

They're a tiny bit longer, it seems, than the junk ones I replaced. They're pretty close though. Haven't decided what to do about the holes in the fender just yet.
