I have to do something with the ass end of my bike. I have talked with the local dealer and they say they have kits that will cost me around 200 dollars and then have to install it myself. I need some info guys on how to make this thing work. If it is worth it to pay the money then I will, but all I want is a good looking taillight fixture. Give me some ideas. This is my first bike, so I dont want to tear something up without knowing what it is that i am doing.

Search fender eliminator in the upper right. There is a ton of ideas that are very cheap.

Good luck!

Check this out, I have one on order which should be here in a few days. I tried to link it but to no avail....just cut and paste it to your browser.

It's a simple solution for $50.

Damn... that's an expensive price for a pair of blinkers and a metal strip!!!

Thats what i said. Someone just got ripped off of Targa. I dont believe i wanna do believe i wanna do business with people like that. Looks good though. How much time and work does it take to install that item?

Go to Lowe's or Home Depot buy two small corner braces($0.95) rip all that garbage off the back of your bike, use the holes that the original fender was mounted with to mount your braces with and you got a 0.95 fender eliminator. Let me know if you need some actual instructions and I will break out the digital cam and give you some step by step pics and instructions. I got the rear turn signals from Lockhart Phillips for $ 15.99 and cut a hole in each side of my rear cowl and stuck em in. All together it took about an hour. Let me know if you need a little help.

Thats my bike & I did an elimnator kit.
I got the idea from someone here on the site.
Total cost was about $30, but at least I didnt' have to drill anything or do anything that is permanent.

If you can afford to buy the bike, what's another $50.00? I'm sure you'll be spending plenty more than .95 cents on extras when it's all said and done. I'm not a big fan of cutting, although it does look good!

There's much better things to spend $ 50 on rather than a $ 50.00 set of bolts and bracket! Any of you guys that pay that for the same thing I got from Lowes need your head checked. I could have went with short stalks but I liked the flush look on the rear better. Most of those kits you can buy are a waste of money. IMO

i bought a libertek fender eliminator kit for $150.00
it sounds like you could make one just as good for alot cheaper

it was made to fit the bike stock but i still had to use 2 self tapping screws.
you cant see the lights in the day time either but they look cool at night and the licence plate light is a led about the size of a booger.

im gonna post some photos of my mods later
