Agreed. Looks way good, but some more flush bolts might clean it up ever so slightly more. And painting the bolts black is a good idea. Not to get off topic, but has anyone painted the silver fuel cap? I'm thinkin' about painting it black. Any ideas?

thanks for the compliment and suggestion. it would look definitely look cleaner if i flipped them around. i will investigate that further. i did briefly think about that initially, but then quickly dismissed and forgot about that option. it was getting dark and i just wanted to get my bike back together.

but yeah, thanks. i will try and see if that works.

Looks great Gary! Can you take a pick from further back looking directly at it? I love the close-up, but am wondering what it looks like from a few feet back....
This has topped the one that Kazam has in my book....

Yes it is a kit. It's about $90 with shipping included. Comes with a black anodized aluminum plate to fill in the area where the stock fender is removed. You'll also have to splice the license plate LED and turn signals' wires to the stock wiring.

did you paint just the fairing bolts black or all the bolts on your bike? Also, how did you go about doing this?

I would bet that if you took your trusty Dremel and drilled an oval hole at the bottom of your tail light and took a clear piece of plastic and super glued it over the hole on the inside, you would be perfectly legal. Did that on my Norton Cafe Racer.

just kidding, I take no offense (sob) But in all seriousness, that does look very nice, especially considering it's a good deal cheaper than mine. The integrated LP light sets this kit apart from others, it's one of few that has that feature.

had my nikon d40 for a while but i still can't figure out the features, so i don't know how to take pics in low lighting. i did flip the bolts around as suggested and i think it looks great! it blends in for a more finished look. doesn't really need to be painted anymore.. idk. i still might. thanks HKr1 for the suggestion. sometimes the obvious solution needs to be pointed out by someone with a fresh pair of eyes. now i am extremely happy with this product.

my turn signals look a bit droopy in the rear shot, but that is how they were when it was stock.

Nice bike! go Team Black! lol. I'm thinking of getting the same fender eliminator kit. Did it come with everything you need to install it? like resistors for the LED that lights up the license plate..

thanks people.

jhaqui, yeah the kit comes with everything you need. not sure about the resistors for the LED plate light. if there are, it is built in. if there aren't, it doesn't seem to be needed.

the only mod to the bike needed is the cutting and stripping of the stock plate light wiring. it comes with the wire connectors and even shrink wrap tubing.

if you are planning on changing out your stock rear turn signals, this would be an excellent time... but it is also designed to work with the stock signals as well.

my complaint is that the instructions were confusing to me. also, you may need to get a clear bubble plate cover. the light will hit the plate if using a regular frame, but not as well. other than that, it is a GREAT kit.

props to kerry and greg for introducing me to this kit

Yup, it's the law.

from: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc24601.htm

Quote:
License Plate Lamp
24601. Either the taillamp or a separate lamp shall be so constructed and placed as to illuminate with a white light the rear license plate during darkness and render it clearly legible from a distance of 50 feet to the rear. When the rear license plate is illuminated by a lamp other than a required taillamp, the two lamps shall be turned on or off only by the same control switch at all times.

Amended Ch. 1313, Stats. 1965. Effective September 17, 1965.

Not that I would advocate breaking the law, but how many there actually have a rear license plate light and is it strictly enforced, Alex?

Nothing's illegal until you get caught. Here in northern california, it's not uncommon for LEO's to write fix-it tickets for missing plate lights, illegal blinkers, illegal plate mount, missing reflectors, and any number of other violations. Sometimes those are written instead of the speeding ticket. Sometimes those are written in addition to whatever other ticket caused you to be pulled over. And on real bad days, sometimes they patrol the parking lots of known biker hangouts and write tickets en masse for all the violations they can find on the bikes in the lot.

There are certainly more serious things that LEO's can and do worry about, but why give them any excuse at all to hassle you? LED lights for the plate are a piece 'o cake to install if needed.

EDIT: Didn't see your second question. All of my bikes have rear plate lights, including the ones with fender eliminators. If I had to hazard a guess on how many bikes in general with eliminator kits still have plate lights, I'd probably say half. But I wouldn't recommend riding at night without one, it's like a beacon from miles away that screams "Please pull me over for a chat".

Yeah, they really mean "White Light" also < got stopped twice for Red plate lights.

Cali really sucks for vehicle violations, but most of them are just fix its. Thought there were a few you could only fix three times thou........ thinking one was exhaust? < been so long now.

You should see the stuff down here in Florida, its in there laws... But they(cops) just dont give a crap I guess. I always think these people wouldnt get 1 mile in Cali with out getting pulled over.. LOL

Just got done installing the Targa kit. First time taking off the rear plastics so it probably took a bit longer than it should have, about 1 hour.

As shown in my posts above, I would highly recommend it. I definitely think it was worth the $90. Cleans it up so well, and the install is easy.

your back should be fine. if anything people behind you will get more spray from the wet roads.

Nicely done Andy, looks great ! I was so tempted to buy the kit the other day and I don't even have my bike yet! Needless to say I'm getting more and more excited (hopefully within the next 3-4 weeks I should be riding).

Tail Bob ala Alex

I liked the way Alex removed his wheele bar so that was the first mod to the new 2009 and thought I would document where the cut was made.

First the stock look



I used some painters tape to decide where I wanted to make the cut and provide an easy to follow line. I decided to make the cut right where the tail narrows down.



Then just to be sure I remounted the plate. An old habit from when I worked construction; measure twice, cut once.



The surgical instrument selected by all discriminating Nina 250 Surgeons.



Clean up and disinfect the point of amputation with some Mother's Back-to-Black.



And there you have it, one tail bob, ala Alex.

The Cut:


Okay...so i got thinking today that i want to eliminate the rear fender (already did the basic cut like the very first post in the thread) I just don't like the way it sticks out with the plate light and everything on there. So......here are my thoughts....is it possible and do ya think it will work? If so I can do a DIY for it.


I want to take the fender (as pictured above) and use that as a mold for a fiberglass piece, I will drill holes in the side to incorporate 2 LED strips for blinkers. I would just paint the whole thing black. Might even be a possiblitly to do the black top piece out of fiberglass. Then I would just mount the plate with the "L" brackets like the others have done. So what do you think? Could it work?

I would just paint the whole thing black. Might even be a possiblitly to do the black top piece out of fiberglass. Then I would just mount the plate with the "L" brackets like the others have done. So what do you think? Could it work?
Why fiber glass? why not carbon fiber j/k it should work if you know what your doing. I would love to see a DYI. Good Luck!
Also for those looking for a tail tidy, I was browsing ebay and saw a new fender eliminator kit by Mustard Bikes, don't know if anyone has ordered from them before but it looks pretty tight, Australian made.

Well I have some experience with fiber glass, so I think it will probably work. I am trying to keep cost down so Carbon fiber isn't an option Anywho, I will probably get it all done then just throw a few coats of some good spray semi-gloss black spray paint. Anybody got any suggestions for some rear flush mounts (preferably LED')? Something small that is still bright. I will do some more searching and let you all know if I end up doing it. And If i do the DIY will be on its way.
