haha i think so. I originally asked because I thought I had seen some without those lights, but thought I read that you needed them, and I couldnt find a place to remount the one that was already on my bike (didnt want to have to buy anything ). But I ended up figuring out a way and putting the light back up, just to be safe. I can post some pics of what i did if you guys want. Nothing special but it looks alot better i think.
