Default How hard is it to install a fender eliminator?

I was looking at the one from Competition Werkes. I'm average at best when it comes to "handyness".

Depends on the year but you gotta cut your stock undertray so screwing up but if you measure twice cut once you could install one in an afternoon.

Its not that hard to do. I did mine in about an hour. The hardest part was wiring the tail light, mine didnt come with any wiring schematics. So I had to go to the service manual to get my wiring.

Mines in the mail, got mine from Idealcycle.com, sorry to copy you Stephens, but that is the best looking one out there IMO. Doesnt look that hard but I will post back when I do it this week.

CWs are relatively easy. Can be done with minor hand tools and a drill. Longest part is cutting the fender. Just get a dremel tool and take your time. Good thing about it is you reuse all your stock stuff so theres no rewiring or anything of that nature. Took me about 3 hours to install mine on the bike, but I'm pretty detail oriented so I made sure I did everything as best as I could. the instructions suck so better find a how to or tutorial to show you what to do when the directions dont give u what you need. I looked for the one I used but couldnt find it.
