Anyone have the Yoshimura fender eliminator kit? Reviews?

Little_Ghost · February 5th, 2012, 09:25 PM

I'm looking at getting a fender eliminator kit with my tax return. I like the look of the Yoshimura Rear Fender Eliminator Kit and that it has an LED light over the plate, but I can't tell by the reviews I've read if it provides a way to integrate the stock turn signals with the kit. Any help? Suggestions?

I have it (just got it like a month ago) and I really like it! It definitely uses the stock turn signals... You actually have to drill out the rivets on the stock fender that hold the turn signals on...

I was looking for one that had a light and used the stock signals too and this one was great for that... Plus, if you want to go to a full integrated tail light and lose the stock turn signals, you can do that too.

I don't know how it compares to the others, but I really like it!

yeah I have the yosh undertail elim kit.

You can def use the stock turn signals. just drill out the rivets like what was said by the guy above me, and then you just mount them to the yosh kit. The led above the plate is nice and bright and the kit is well build and just looks really nice imo.

edit: you can see it here in one of my older walk around vids

DMP Power Grid Integrated LED Tail Light

Of course it adds to the total cost and may not be legal everywhere (some states have laws about distances between turn signals I dont know who does and who does not).

Yes, I've seen that option and that's for bringing it up, but I really don't feel having your signals integrated into your tail light is nearly as safe as having turn signals that stick out a bit. I also don't like the Hotbodies option for the same type of safety reasons. Well, that and I think it makes the ass of your bike look more like a weird face from behind. Haha.

Interesting thought and thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind when I assemble it to see if there's a way I can make the tabs easier to get to for later.

All I'm saying is if the ass reminds you of a face, or visa versa, I'd day it's a no-go. I think that should apply to pretty much everything in life.
