I just got my Yoshimura fender eliminator kit in the mail, and since I noticed there weren't too many pictures of what's in the kit, I decided to take some for anyone considering purchasing it.

Please try to ignore the dirty carpet, I really should have taken these in my shop, but I just couldn't wait. :D

The quality of the parts speak for themselves, the kit really is worth the $100 it costs. I can't wait to install this tomorrow and post up some pics of it on my bike. :)

Nice. I'm considering buying this set
Can you post some close up fitment shots once you have them on your bike?

I'll most certainly take some close up pics once it's installed, and i'll try to get some without the posts as well.

I can't wait to see how it turns out!

I have this one as well and it really is a nice product! I didn't use the license plate frame though... ;)

Just got into the motorcycle scene. And would definitely like to get a fe kit. Where did you guys buy the kit?
A quick search online and I get to the motorcycle-superstore.com at $117
Any other vendors? Experiences with motorcycle-superstore?

Thanks trixter! I'll probably order from indysuperbike since it's cheaper.
I'm assuming this is good for the '12 too?

I also got mine from indysuperbikes.com as well. Can't beat $99.99 and free shipping!

I installed the kit this past Saturday and took a bunch of pictures, but I've been relatively busy this week and haven't had a chance to post them up. I'm hoping I can get them up tonight.

I will say that the instructions that are included with the kit are very simplistic to say the least. But not to worry, if you can use simple logic and some tools, the kit isn't very hard to install at all.

Awesome. Just ordered. Thanks guys

the kit is really awesome and really worth the money like you said, i did take a few pictures of the kit when i received it as well but not as nice as yours at all... i ve been dreaming of an slr for a while.. one day....cant wait to see your final pics! i hope your plate fits, mine is too large so i cant use the nice plate trim :( here my pics if you re interested

So here are some of the pictures I took from installing the kit this weekend.

I don't know if you absolutely had to remove the rear fairings to install the kit (the instructions really are extremely simple), but it did make accessing things really easy.

Here's what it looks like after installing, but before putting the fairings back on.

I really like the kit a lot; definitely looking forward to getting a full Yoshimura exhaust soon.

really nice! i wish my plate could of fit the frame :(

Good stuff , nice gob:thumbup:

Looks great

To quote Paris Hilton.... "That's Hot!" lol

Wow, that is super clean. And it looks like you even get to keep the cargo hooks (which every other kit seems to delete)? Awesome, I would be ordering one if I didn't already DIY mine.

How would one diy?

Cut the fender off with a dremel, bend up some brackets from Home Depot, and wire in some LED license plate bolts. There's a whole thread about it somewhere.

How did you get the black stock signal holder detached from the OEM fender?

ANSWER: (Dreamed about it so much I found the answer after a good night's rest! :) )

You have to drill out the rivets on the stock fender that hold up the turn signals...

I had trouble taking the screw out to disassemble the stock signal holders from the fender. Ended up stripping the screw :(

That looks awesome. I have a targa fender eliminator. Also if you dont' want the cops on you for the fender eliminator, you should get some sort of reflector in the back. I got two reflector screws for the license plates.

That looks really clean... Yoshi makes good products... If I didn't have my current setup I would definitely consider this! :thumbup:

here it is without the signals and integrated tail with signals

Hello...I am new to the forum and recently received the same kit. I was wondering what wiring you have to do for the plate light. It doesn't look to plug and play but have yet to tear into mine. Any insight on what wiring you had to do?

Thanks!

If you got the yoshimura fender eliminator, I think the plate light was plug and play

As you can see from the pic, it's definitely not "plug and play". You have to splice the yoshi wires to stock wires. You can do this using the supplied connectors. It's all in the instructions.

My bad. Been a few weeks since I did the install.

That looks really nice - I did mine maybe a month ago. They make great products.

Looks great. I hacked off my stock fender but that is way cleaner.

once you remove the turn signal stalk brackets in the back, it looks even cleaner

Nice pics!

I bought the same kit myself and absolutely love it, especially when compared to the bs pastic Hot Bodies fender eliminator kit I bought for the gf's bike.

Instead of using supplied connectors to wire in the plate light, I cut off the wires from the stock light to the factory connector and soldered the Yoshi wires to the stock wires then wrapped them in some nice heat shrink tube.

The light is plenty bright, bolted up nice and easy, perfect fitment, and even holds my aftermarket signals perfectly with no issues.

Def. worth the buy!

looking to get this kit. anyone know if its lagal in california. i know that i must have reflectors. minus the reflectors, are there any other mods that need to be done to this kit to make it legal in cali

All fender eliminators are technically illegal :p

Looking good!!! :thumbup:

i kno...thats the sucky part. u would think that the manufacturers would save the cost in materials and leave it off. o wells. gna leave the ugly fender on i guess, cant afford a fixit ticket :p

If you're not doing anything to attract police attention it shouldn't be a problem. Have had mine on for a year with integrated taillight

...u would think that the manufacturers would save the cost in materials and leave it off...Of course it depends on the demographics, but in most situations, fenders are required by law, so they can't make that type of decision as it's not up to the manufacture.

I just go this, I will being installing this weekend. However I have to drill the rivets in the stock turn singals. Can you explain or show a pic about whay they are talking about?

The bracket has the hook on it.
Remove that bracket on both sides.

I have it installed but the tail lights are lose. Not sure they are on right.
