chaadster yes I absolutely hate how the rear tail drags when I'm wheeling it vertically through my cars in the garage! Both the rear and front tails have come off at least once - I'm on my last set of spare tails and nylon nuts. I'm assuming they've fixed the design with the newer versions. Functionally it won't matter much but it triggers the OCD in me when I lose a tail or screw. I will say I enjoy the bike much more with the fenders gone, but they've gotten me thru this past winter pretty well.
