Title: Anyone have Fender Eliminator
Post by: Blondie on June 14, 2006, 08:26:39 PM
I just got my first bike a GS500, and I was looking for a fender eliminator kit and flush mount turn signals, but I couldn't find any companies that made them for the GS500.  Do you guys know who makes them or anything I can do.Thanks

As for flushmounts I like try the LP Type IV Mini's for the front....

On the rear I just used shorter ones with clear lenses....Im not a fan of flushmounts on the rear.....

Welcome Blondie!

If you don't want to hack up your stock fender, I bought a fender that was already cut for the fender eliminator...

I never had time to put it on, and besides, I'm planning on getting another bike this year...

If you want it, I'm offering it for $15 shipped.

Do a search on "fenderectomy".  That should answer your questions.  There must be a hundred threads on different methods by now!

Welcome!   :)

I'm looking in either an R6 or the R6s

The Yamaha made the R6, which has some pretty cool improvements, but they still kept the old R6 and renamed that R6s.

very tempting
As for flush mounts almost any thing will fit or you can do brake light / turn signal intergrator

Their design is decent, but they're located in FRANCE...  Shipping to the US will be too much

Last year I was quoted this for the streetdesigns one
Painted undertail 2 lights :$ 239
Unpainted : $169
Just letting people know it's out there, it's not cheap but would be very unique if your into that thing.  As for shipping send them an email and ask, I have no idea how much it would cost  :dunno_white:

I think Aluzio motorsports is located in Brazil
Title: Re: Anyone have Fender Eliminator
Post by: blue05twin on June 19, 2006, 08:40:45 AM
They are located in Brazil.  Shipping couldn't have been to bad at least 2 people from the US ordered them.  BTW if you want the Aluzio one do a search on it. . I remember some people haveing problems with the install when it first came out.  And aluzio also makes a front upper and lower fairings also.

Both people that did the Aluzio undertail, JetSwing and fettcolls, had MAJOR problems trying to get it to fit. There are gaps between the undertail and the tail plastics. It was a major headache for both of them

The F models and the '01+ nakeds have exactly the same tail plastics. So yes.
