The holes were drilled for the fender struts and the gromet for the wire harness pass-through. The fender is designed to use the original fender rails. I did not know this originally and I made my own rails.  Not a big deal because this allows me to swap the fenders back and forth without needing to remove the fender rails.  This was particularly useful when I painted the bike and I wanted to continue riding.

This is the fender bracket for attaching the Fender struts.  I later welded a 6mm screw to hold the rear portion of the seat on.

  The half moon tail/brake light is from Custom Dynamics.  It shows up pretty good.

Originally, I painted the fender with Color-rite Illusion Red to match the rest of the original stock color.  I used a non-catylized clear (rattle-can).  For the most part, everything looked fine except the finish was not very durable.

The one thing that I will be addressing is the fact that during wet weather, the wheel splash makes it on my back due to the shortness of the fender.  I plan to fabricate a plate that is under the tail light, is horizontal and extends out about 4 additional inches.
