After seeing that I been thinking..
 A few rusty taillight brackets  like that around. I think If you cut and sectioned  one and laid it forward a bit on the  top, like angle it.. May look really nice.

Rear light not that fat as other US bikes from K2?

 The big light makes the bike look fatter and shorter...
I wonder if the reflector has to be shortened. 
 I am thinking the new style bulbs may be shorter than the old ones.

Ok, I get it now, duh.
When I put my K3 together I found a K0 fender and light, they were much more compact and in my biased opinion, they look better.

K2 followed by K6 had the K1 style blinkers and rear light in Europe.
My K6 stock rear fender different with more and oval holes for mudflap. K1 has only 1 hole.
Edit: I agree with Frank, it look really good! Maybe a rear light cover is available somewhere and is it from another bike/Honda model?
