Default question about universal rear fender kit

can anyone verify that this "ANATO" ED Rear Fender w/ LED Tail Light kit will fit on my '83 xl600r? I found it here:

and I want to be sure that it will bolt up before I buy it.

I think theyre closed on sundays, I plan on calling back tomorrow but thought I would post up this question in case anybody could give me a response before then

edit: after doing some looking around online I found that the universal ones do not utilize the factory hole for the tail light/license plate bracket, now im wondering how it will look if I have the universal one that mounts under the fender leaving that factory hole open. Im having a lot of trouble tracking a factory bracket or even a made for this bike replacement bracket online so it looks like a universal kit is the only way to go. Can anybody shed some light on this for me?

just an update in case anyone else has this question in the future...
I went with the acerbis dual-sport tail light kit from http://www.motostrano.com/brtali.html where you can find a few different ones. The one I went with fits almost perfectly with the shape of the factory rear fender. Im really pleased with how it turned out and only needed a minimal amount of persuasion to make it fit. I will post a pic in the near future to show you how it sits and looks almost like a factory part. This is a plus especially with this bike since it is next to impossible to get your hands on the original part from Honda.
