One-Off Billet Fender Elim Complete!

A4RingedONE8T · Nov 3, 2013

Wasn't overly fond of any of the available fender eliminators especially for their prices so decided to make my own. Very happy with how it turned out! Reused the factory LED plate light and still debating how I want to go about the turn signals, something custom again or an integrated tail

Let me know what you guys think?

I like the design concept.
Although, I would suggest painting the part, in your case probably black. Otherwise, it appears unfinished or out of place as there are no other parts of similar material near that lone item.

I was going to suggest plastidip or a flat black paint. Definitely looks out of place and unfinished. Aside from that, looks alright. Especially while saving about $200!

Looks great man! Can I talk you into a cover piece only, without the license plate mount?

PS - I think I met your friend with the Tricolore last sunday.

I think it looks really good, the bare unit can be finished off in all kinds of different ways, main thing for me is it looks good quality, well put together. Fair play good job

Ugly parts should be rattle-canned, but you did such an outstanding job I think you should show it off just the way it is.

I agree.

Waiting too see what he does with the turn signals.

Great job man! The best cover and plate holder I've seen yet.

Nice work. Now make a .... load of them and sell them for 50 bucks a pop.

I love everything in raw form! I have lots more to make for the bike that will have the same finish, It'll fit it nicely!

Haven't fully decided what I want, I use them so rarely, usually easier to go for hang signals

$50 bucks, no way, its a bit of work making it by hand

Thanks for the comments guys, appreciate it!

It could have been that one I really don't remember.

How much for just the cover, without the plate mount?

Looks real good, nice to see a fabed up tiged together piece, the signals blow the look,leave em off.

Carl1199 · Nov 3, 2013

I like the industrial look, able to see the welds, looks great, especially when welded properly.

Here's how I did my indicators after I made my own lic. plate bracket:

Nearly invisible when not on. Just get a pair of 5 LED light bars off of ebay, wire 'em in and choose your own adhesive.

Full how to here (not as elegant as the OP, which is why mine is flat black.

)

Thanks!! I agree, want some type of signal but not something that changes the look currently

Not using ebay LED's but I am planning on mounting some LED's of come sort in a similar location.
