Hey MDFF

just thought you wanted to see some photos of how I installed my "fender eliminator".

Before - (when the damm thing keeps falling off.)

AFTER - reinforced to the frame of the bike

Hey I also got tired of the 'big ugly' and I winded up with eliminating the fender all together and mounting the plate on the swingarm.

Thats exactly what I'd like to do.. can you give me some more information? More importantly, what size is the swingarm bolt hole I need to buy? I looked at those on ebay and theres GSX-R, CBR1000RR, etc.. no 1000F. I'm sure the F carries over the same size bolt hole as some other brands, I'm just not sure which one.

1000FFreakyFast/renxwar, first thing I'd be doing is finding out if that is even legal!!

No way you'd get away with that in Australia. For starters it's not orientated the right way up and secondly it's hidden from the left side of the bike, great for avioding speed cameras and all but an on the spot defect and a hefty fine at the least.

Edit: oh and don't forget there would be no number plate light either.
