Fender Eliminator Kit, version 3
4
Like most of you, as soon as I got Speedy home, the rear fender garbage came off. First solution was the Skyking kit.
Then later I installed the Motofab kit which raised the plate another 1-2 inches, plus pushed it further back under the fender an inch or so. Looked really good, but..........
This is the latest version. I love the look of completely opening up the rear to expose the tire. (No, I am not putting on a single exhaust...) :evil:
I ordered up these Universal LED Light Bars from Signal Dynamics and mounted them to the side of the fender. They are dual filament bulbs, so while I had everything open, I tapped them into the rear running light, so they light up a light amber orange while just riding and then change to a VERY bright orange when the turn signal is applied.
I then took my old Skyking kit, flipped it upside down, cut off one of the bends, and used the blinker mounts to fit PERFECTLY on the old passenger footpeg holes.
I mounted it in the upper of the two holes, so the plate is clearly visible from behind. There is also an LED light there to illuminate the license plate.
Whaddya think?

Plugging the empty holes with black bolts does make a difference.

Hey Curmud,
Yep, even with my fat arse (175 lb)
on it, still plenty of clearance.
With it mounted to the lower mounts, it was a little too close, plus I don't wanna be hassled by the law since they couldn't really see it. But sitting in a car/truck behind the bike, the plate is clearly visible.
