The first thing to do is to flush the system with fresh Castrol GTLMA dot 4 brake fluid. The symptom is probably caused by contaminated brake fluid. After braking the fluid gets hot, boils, and "fights" back to cause the pedal to rise. After cooling things get back to normal until you use the brakes again and reheat the fluid.If you have a 5 speed also do the clutch system. On your second question I think you need to have the fender just so you have the marker light besides you would be very dangerous to pedestrians and in the rain you would throw up alot of spray making it hard to see.You might also throw small rocks.
