Sadly, no. That was after my little incident.... the impact popped the can right off of the pipe
see post here for more info and pics http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showt...9456#post19456 Figures that with all the damage done, the stupid fender would be the one piece that wasn't harmed! |

if we had more of a 1:1 exchange rate, I'd be all over it! And while $1.47:£1 is great given recent exchange rates, it's still not good for these types of purchases!

You just make the cut and bracket yourself, out of the stock fender. because you have to cut to mount this tail tidy anyways. So buying this tail tidy will be like paying alot of money for a licence plate light.

I could be wrong as I haven't actually installed it yet, but I have it sitting in front of me right now. It comes with very detailed instructions and there is no mention of cutting.
Its a very slick piece and the integrated LED number plate light is very nice too. There's some photos of it in my public album. DIY coming as soon as kawasaki get their ass in gear and deliver my bike |

i stand corrected. that looks like a no-cut fender. thats weird, i asked the seller on ebay if it were no-cut, and if it was, i would order one. But he just referred to his webshop, and the pictures there didnt look like your pictures at all.

Hmmm, I dunno what to say, except that mine is definitely an original RG Racing product, as I went to them directly and bought it.
The indicators on mine are different, but that's because I'm going all out for ultra bright LEDs and those are Oxford's Nano LED indicators. You wouldn't believe how something so small can be so bright... here's a pic for a size comparison Without having actually fitted it yet, I still find it real easy to recommend this tail tidy. Alot of my friends have recommended them to me and you can just tell by looking at or holding their stuff. You should see their crash protectors up close, makes those intuitive sliders look like toothpicks. It's quality. Even the packaging is the nuts. If you're not sure about the product on ebay, you could try shopping from them directly www.rg-racing.com (£87.11 + delivery charges) or you could try http://www.intobikes.co.uk (£87.99 + delivery charges) |

Elle, Nice job on the fender. I went out into the garage and looked at the tail light on my 08 Ninja and wondered if a separate plate light would really be necessary. Suppose one drilled a hole in the bottom of the tail light lens and enlarged it to an oval with a Dremel and then super glued a piece of clear plastic to the inside of the tail light lens. Would not the light from the tail light illuminate the license plate? I recall that my 1956 NSU had a tail light that served two functions with a clear panel at the bottom.

You guys haven't seen the pre-08's? Not sure about the EX but the LP light on the ZZR is setup exactly to what you're referring to... The underside of the rear brake light is clear and shines a yellow light onto the LP. The rear fenders on the pre-08's look ALOT better IMO... not sure why they changed it
but i can post pics if you want. |

i was looking at my stock fender. it was dark, but the tie hooks are attached to the fender portion that gets removed huh? that is junk. i would think it would be hard to run a tail bag without it.

got it installed. looks great. overall i am really happy with the end product.
however, the LED light housing doesn't stick out much and it wasn't shining on the plate as much as i wanted... most of it was hitting the top of the plate frame. i bought a clear bubble plate cover and that solved that issue. there are 4 exposed nuts in the wheel well. not too visible, but i am going to paint them with black touch-up paint to blend them in more. the instructions.... man it sucked!!!! pretty confusing. it said to connect a piece only for me to find out that i had to take it apart again to do a later step. also, it said to refer to a picture that wasn't even there. after a while i was just winging it. got some "spare parts", but oh well. it was a direct replacement kit. the only cutting i had to do was to cut the stock license plate light wiring. i re-used the bulb-side stock connector and wired that to the kit's light. it included the connectors and stuff. anyways, i am done and it looks REALLY good.... i am happy. plus i found my missing (didn't even realize they were gone... or even what they were) passenger seat bumper stoppers hiding under my rear fairings. |

Is there a fender mod kit that does not require cutting or messing with wires? Basically a plug-n-play version?

so here are a couple pics. it wasn't dark yet, so it is hard to get a feel for how bright the light is, but there is sufficient light using the clear plate cover.
got those exposed silver nuts that i plan on painting black. |
