Default universal fender eliminator

I'm trying to figure out a cheap way to reduce the fender on my 06 f4i. I found this bracket on ebay and wanted to know if anyone has tried it and if anyone has a picture of their bike with it on.

it's not really an eliminator, you can buy the same thing at any local cycle gear for $19.95. I bought one of those, the rear signals, and made my own fender eliminator with some aluminum roofing shingles and a bit of ingenuity. Just chop everything off from the rear storage horizontally, measure and cut the aluminum to fit, paint, and bolt it in. Then bolt the plate mount to the homemade eliminator and viola!

Someone posted a good walkthrough on how to do that in this forum as well, nothing a little searching cant find. But I made my eliminator for about $5.32.

That is just a bracket to hold the tag....you'd still need to get a fender eliminator kit to replace the rest of it. Do a search, theres plenty of threads about fender eliminators. Good luck!

I know its a lot more then the bracket you were looking at but just wanted to let you know I got a Minus One Fender Eliminator for around $90 shipped. I think it looks awesome and fits like a glove with the lock relocation and everything. Its a little cheaper then the Competition Werkes and I like it a little better because its black instead of the silver aluminum look. Heres the link if you want to check it out.

The minus one fender looks great. Does it have taglight with it and where does it relocate the lock to? Can you post me a picture of it installed on your bike.
Thanks

Yeah it relocates the lock behind the license plate but it doesn't have a tag light. It moves the plate so close to your tail light it pretty much gets lit up pretty good by your tail. Ill take a picture today and load it up tonight when I get home from work.

The competition werkes fender eliminator uses the original license plate light. I have one on mine. Love it.
