DIY - Fender Eliminator K8+

[KYT]

hmm that lights it up pretty good

Neat idea.

I wanted to keep my stock parts unmolested in case I wanted to return the bike to stock (it's just the way I am). I found a piece of aluminum sheet I had laying around, traced a rough pattern, cut it out with my jig saw, bent it slightly, then mounted the license plate bracket upside down to make the plate follow the removed fenders path. The tail light illuminates the plate and the light is protected from rocks kicked up from the tire.

Thx for the writeup. I went out to do it without reading it all the way, was gonna try and use what you had and then add to it to make it my style...and it worked! Looks super dope. I'll try and post pix soon. The way I did it isn't super legal but I always push the boundaries. I also own a chopper with no low beam, just spotlight, no blinkers, no mirrors, straight pipe...so as you can see...thats how i roll. Plus i never really use a tag light. I may to keep them off me a little now tho. Thanks again!

Has anybody had any problems with the plate coming off?

i used some blue thread locker to keep them in place. yes, they will loosen up over time.

Ok. On what screws did you use the thread locker on?

the mount itself and the plate. do you have to remove your license plate often? you can still remove both with some force if absolutely necessary but why?

No sweat! I am confident they will break loose when you need to.

I've had no issues with my plate or the bracket coming loose.

This is a good thread and thanks for sharing the great info with us.

Thanks for the walkthrough!

How did you guys cut that cable tie? What did you use? Scissors are too short wire cutters are too wide. All I can think of is using a hot needle and burning it off, or a laser - but that takes ages...

 

[surt]

Never mind, cut it with a laser.

No metal bracket though, have to make my own. Maybe an American thing? UK bike don't come with front reflector I'm told. Maybe Oz bikes don't come with metal brackets.

 

[surt]

Done! Simple, and it doesn't move a micrometer
Thanks OP.

surt, nice work!
