    Has anyone run a fenderless 32 with the rear frame horn covers still on it? I started looking but could not find any pictures. Wondering if it would look smoother or just stupid. If you have a picture post it up.

    I don't have any photos but I tried them on my roadster. I didn't like the look. It was cleaner without them. They just kind of hung down and looked out of place since there wasn't a fender to attach to.

    I just took mine off as they, in my opinion, look a little bulky, and will fill up with dirt from the tyres flicking stuff up.
    I am still on the fence as to whether they should be on or off and I think the main determinator is how and where you position the tail lights, and what type they are.
    I considered mounting the lights shown, on top of the frame horn covers with separate stands.
    Although what I really wanted was ‘50 Pontiac tail lights in the rear panel, but they would catch on the rumble seat lid.

    I did it on a high end OT highboy. We did quite a bit of trimming and fitting to get them to look good.

    Do you recall that little mod on hiboys ( maybe fiberglass) years back where a corner extender was added on, I can't find any photos but I recall that it sort of rolled over the frame horn, filling that empty space.
    Probably a "streerod" thing!

    Did you make that filler panel above the gas tank?

    Other options to fill the gap…….. I know that you didn’t ask, but others may be interested !
    (Will delete if you want).

    We modified the tank to fill the gap between it and the body.
