I decided that the taillight sticks out too far out for my taste. So, I decided to do my own taillight mod. It wasn't too bad, just a little cutting, fitting, welding and some paint and it looks so much cleaner in my opinion:

Looks good! But watch out for your license plate hitting your rear tire. Maybe angle it out a little more or put it on your swingarm.

I did have to bend it out just a little, but with suspension travel it looks like I may have to do a little more bending.
