I'm torn, but enough about me passing out behind a dumpster last night...

I'm trying to decide if my bike needs a tail tidy. I actually don't mind the stock plate holder with the lights and reflectors, but I appreciated the look fender elimnators gave my sportbikes, back in the day.

My bike.

I want all the lights and reflectors that I can get on the rear end of my bike. I've never understood taking them off and running tiny little turn signals and such. If it's a dedicated track bike, yes. But for riding on the road I want all the help I can get to get the attention of cars behind me. I have an extra Whelen brake/tail/turn light bar and a set of Hyperlites added to the rear of mine.
 
I don't let any fools get up on my backside so I don't need no stinkin flectors!!! Rip that crap off and make it look awesomer!!!!
 
Take that fender off. Youll smile more when you look at the bike.

How about when dudes take their mirrors off?
Boggles my mind.
 
First thing I would do if I owned THAT motorcycle. But, I haven't always made the best decisions...
 
Ima have to take that for a spin, you know.. so I can get the full experience in stock trim first.
Then again, after the mod to fully understand my feelings about this decision.
 
What @SPST said. I’ve spent $1000 on light upgrades and additions on a new bike.

I’ve got a friend who was completely run over at a stop light from behind twenty years ago and lived to tell about it, but he don't walk so good anymore.
