Ok, so I bought this fender eliminator off ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-2008-CBR-600-RR-600RR-HONDA-FENDER-ELIMINATOR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6755QQihZ024QQitemZ370065426511QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Now, the link might not work once the auction is over. Onto the short story. Basically your suppose remove both seats, the rear taillight assembly, remove two screws that hold the servo motor in place and replace them with the ones in the package and thats were it all went bad. I was able to remove the left screw no problem but the right screw didnt go as planned. You really have to baby these screws because in giving the right one a little nudge I broke the case that holds the servo motor and then I gave it another nudge because I still needed it to come off and that broke the surrounding area. The following link demonstrates were I stand at the current moment. The pics were too big so there on a seperate site. FYI - there is also a third problem chile screw underneath the gas tank in the middle. Let my misfortune be a lesson to all.

Ouch! That sucks.
Seems like a lot of work for that FE.

I couldn''t tell exactly what was going on there, but is the piece that broke off, plastic? Like a flange for the screw? If you have a soldering gun, you can do some pretty strong plastic welds with stuff like that. I''ve done it on fairings and fenders before, and with enough patience you can have a part as strong as new. Hope this helps.
