Question about homemade fender eliminator
#21
It's done!!!
Okay.
So, here is how mine look. Complete with the new integrated taillight.
Thanks for all of the directions and photos.
I followed the same thing you did, gotcbr, and did away with the lock. The main reason is because I would have had to get really meticulous to make the same hole structure for the lock as it needs something to be tacked down to. My only problem is a few treads were already broken off of the end of the lock cable. I just hope it won't give as I use the under-seat compartment for my shades and air pressure checker and some other things.
Here is one picture. I will upload more later. Got to get dinner!
Thanks again for all of the help.

I'll post up some more pictures soon. I took a couple, but just haven't had time to upload them to my photobucket account.
Your directions were flawless. At first, I was scared when I was cutting away the old fender using my angle grinder, but I just took my time and tried to just cut it high enough (so the sheet metal could fit).
All in all, it was very easy and after the initial cutting of the cardboard, it really is like a 2 hour job.
Thanks, and I'll get some more pictures up in a day or so. Way too busy with school!

Here is the one I just finished last week using the post I found on this forum. Worked out better then expected and the best part was the total thing cost $20.00 and a few hours of my time.

Thanks man...as for the sliders they came on the bike so I have no idea. I will tell you they took awhile to get used to my shins took a beating the first few rides when backing up.

I would recommend you get some "cut" frame sliders ASAP as they offer the most strength, being that the bolt used replaced an engine bolt.
Great looking bike and great job on the DIY fender eliminator.
By the way, is that a clear alternatives integrated taillight?
