There are probably already pics of this somewhere, but thought I'd post mine up too on my '08. At first the tail light seems like it won't fit, but you just have to force it in and the result isn't bad. Like they say, "it'll leave a small gap but it's worth it for the look," and I would agree with that [until someone actually makes a quality perfect fit tail light]. And as far as getting the seat/cover to fit I didn't have any real problems. I found that if I just push down on the tip of the tail fairing it makes it a lot easier. As for brightness, the only thing that's really not visible during the day is the running light, but when it's light out that doesn't matter anyways. Haven't mounted the tag bracket yet since I haven't gotten my plate yet anyways.
