Ive been searching for custom fender eliminator kits that people have made and I have only been able to find a few, I decided to attempt to make my own yesterday and it turned out better than I thought and makes the bike look 10x better. I figured I would post it up for other people that are looking for ideas.

Heres how it looked at first


I took the tag light off and lined up the license plate and drilled holes


I Bought a 5" LED strip from auto zone and soldered it to the wires from the stock Tag light.


Cut the plastic which ever way you think it looks best and sand it down, I used a dremel tool to cut then 400 gritt sand paper to make it smooth, mount the license plate, and stick the LED strip on the bottom of your brake light ( I left a few extra inches on the wires for the led strip so if I need to remove the rear fairing I had enough play to move it enough so that I could get to the plug) And this is what it will look like when your done.

 

not bad!!

 

I did the same thing on mine awhile ago makes such a difference

 

Did the same thing a couple days ago, but watch out for the turn signal wires behind the plastic! I forgot and cut right through them haha luckily it was an easy fix. But I agree on improving the looks 10x. One day I'll get a hotbodies but this looks pretty good till then.

 

You got the right idea with the fender "trim". But keep going, take it all off!

Yeah, I just about did the same thing. Then forked over $130 for an unpainted hotbodies undertail, and painted it myself. Glad I went this route. I am very happy, and it was a pretty easy install! I decided to paint it myself to save the extra $100, and I also wanted to touch it up when it gets rock chips. Now I need the tire hugger. I thought painting it black would not look good, but it looks great!

 

Looks good. My 06 had that ugly *** long tail in it too. But never cut it off just replaced everythig.
