No, you do not need that vertical cover. It is just a cover. Under it is the mounting frame of the turn signals. (if we are talking about the same thing :) )
This cover was introduced with the chrome version of the Drifter.

So according to another post here, I don't need the part the signals are on though right?

That's what's holding the rear fender on...I suppose you could make some kind of internal framework, but remember how easy it is to remove the fender the way it is now.

Ok let's try this, it's black on here however, mine was chrome. It's the piece that the rear turn signals attach to and the bracket that piece is mounted to as well.

Since I don't own a drifter rear fender or its parts anymore, I'll see if I can source a photo of what I'm referring too. Brb!

I'm not sure what your refering to here either,THL?If your refering to the "bumper"that the rear tail lights also atatch to,I've seen plenty of Drifters without it.Gives that plain big fender look.If you Google Drifter images you'll see a few right off the bat without this.Olive of course the I've bike,has round tail light,right to the fender with smaller blinkers fixed to each side.

I'm not sure on the 800, but on the 1500 that bumper holds up the back of the fender, and I believe it does on the 800 too...

Well, it's more or less I'm not going to buy the rear chrome piece if its not needed. I think it's ugly/don't want to buy it if I don't have to.

Are you talking about the rear bumper assembly?  If so, just leave the bumperette's off and have the rest powdercoated.
