Fender Troubles
I currently have the stock fender on right now, but yesterday i was working on the fender to try and make it look shorter. I had originally cut a good portion of it off and it looked alright, but yesterday i got cutting happy. Well i ended up cutting my fender too high to the point where i couldnt put my liscense plate back on. Man was i pissed. i tried ghetto rigging it with like a different assortment of screws and what not, but no matter how i do it, it still looks messed up. I was looking online and came accross this really nice looking competition werks fender eliminator kit for my bike. Its the one that is like sheet metal and uses the stock tailight assembly. Think its worth buying at this point? or should i just drill the liscense plate back on and wait awhile? thanks guys

RE: Fender Troubles
I cut 90% of mine off with a hacksaw. It ends about 1/2" below the red reflector that is next to the lock. I sanded it down smooth and it looks nice, and then I mounted the plate underneath. There is a small lip of thick black pastic about 5 inches in from the rearl
I drilled two holes into the plastic and used the plate screws with the round red reflectors and used those to screw the plate up into that lip. It hangs down, and you can just bend it slightly to the right angle...

RE: Fender Troubles
i too would have preferred an undertail, but am put off by the lights. i just don't like any of them. i've recently put on that fender eliminator kit - take your time and it's pretty easy, and i think it looks great when it's done. i also took off the little red side reflectors to make the tail uncluttered.
