DIY fender eliminator ~


  

Proeve -> DIY fender eliminator ~ (5/9/2006 1:27:16 AM)

Bits of different sizes
Cut off wheel
1 piece of flat 1/8" thick by 3/4"X36" Aluminum, can buy this at home depot for $4.00

This one was made for a 06 600rr. I was not thinking when I was doing this, I should have taken photos as I was doing this but I will post some pic up when I get my other pc back up and running.

Take off the bitch seat
Take off the stud seat
Switch those around if you are a female, lol
Take off the back tail fairing; be careful it is on there tight.
Take off loser fender/mud-flap
Remove the plate holder from old mud flap
I also took off that grey piece that was around the tail pipe as well.

Cut off a piece of rod 16” long.
Make a mark that 3.5” from both ends.
The center should be 9” long
Bend on the line.
Round over the ends so that they will fit. You’ll see when you get it torn down,
Drill holes in the ends so you can bolt it back into the last set of holes.
I used the old stock plate holder; I just removed it from the stock mud flap.
Cut off the center plate support.
Center old plate holder on to new fender eliminator and drill holes
Flatten out old plate holder so it will be more flatten out.
Bolt every thing back together.


Normal fender eliminator is between $80 to $150 off the net.

Home made fender eliminator $4
Time spent 4hr
Spending time with your bike making it look nicer priceless.

check out the photos..

I've been looking at some fender eliminators, but they all seem way too expensive for what they actually are. That's awesome that you made your own and saved yourself so much $$$. You got me thinkin' about makin' my own now.

ok ok ill redo the post, tomorrow, with more photos.. but if you take off the seats and the back fairing you'll understand more about what I am saying.

Just whipped up my own little FE last night. Man that fender setup is a bitch and a half. It took a good 4 hrs due to the lack of tools, or having to search for them....Drill dying on me etc.

I'll post pics in a bit.


Proeve -> RE: DIY fender eliminator (5/25/2006 1:26:43 AM)
