Thoughts on fender eliminators, are they worth it and is this one good?

Does anyone not install an FE kit?

I took mine off ,Wolfman got defected for one and I believe Vegasrider has a stock fender too.

Looks pretty good especially as it comes with the indicators.

Doesnt look like you have an exhaust yet. Why not save up and get the two bros exaust with the FE kit?

I read a review on that FE: it hangs too low & doesn't allow use of your plate light or stock turn sigs. I have the FAZR6 which looks like it's OEM. Here's Boneman's site link w/pics of the FAZR6

Where is the "I'm thinking about it" and
"If I can get a legal one" options?

This is what I did, and got some led indicators, the ones that come with the tbr exhaust aren't great.

As for the legality of the fe kit, the copper who gave me the 'excessive noise' infringement notice didn't mention the fe kit. Although, he did say that my stock rear tire hugger wasn't regulation lol

The FZ6 fender is much less obtrusive than those on other bikes. Most sport bikes have awlful looking sticks with a licence plate attached. I guess they want them easily removed for track days. As only a small % go to the track that group buys FEs.

There really is not much fender to remove on the FZ6 and it does help if you live somewhere where water falls from the sky.

Are they worth it? You are gaining zero function. You are losing protection from water and dirt flying up.
I had FE on my last bike. Sure it made it look better, but after one rain ride, tail light / rear of bike would be covered with crap.
I also think FZ6 has one of the best looking OEM fenders (this, of course, is a matter of opinion).
So.. just decide what's more important to you, looks or function

I took mine off ,Wolfman got defected for one and I believe Vegasrider has a stock fender too.

Mine is back on now.......just dont park the bike anywhere where there are lots of bikes for the cops to pray on, if i can avoid it!

 

[DMP84]

I have the FAZR6 fe and I think it's the most OEM you can get and getting rid of that horrendous stock plastic for me is a must, but that's just a personal preference! Installation was a breeze too, I say go for it!

 

[Zealadin]

Can't say I have any issues with the stock fender, as someone else said its pretty damn good for one that comes on a bike especially compared to other bikes.
I was interested in removing it early on, but have grown to like it for now, plus the whole being defected thing, not fun

Not fun...it required me sourcing a stock exhaust (Thanks Stumbles), and taking off my TB's, etc, etc, to take for a pointless inspection that cost me $130!

 

[Bates121]

I have a stock fender and I personally like it and I would rather spend that $70 on something for performance

I have this same one, but without the signals. The stock signals will mount up, although I had to drill out the holes a little to make them fit. I really like this FE, although sometimes I wish it was a little closer to the exhaust.

I don't currently have my license plate light mounted up, but the cops around here don't care that much, and if they did, I could figure out some way to use it. I left the wire for it there just in case.

Here are some pics.

Bought the FAZR6 FE Kit...took 15 minutes...worth every penny and second.

1) It hangs too low 2) you had to hack the signal stalks to fit them 3) Police will care if your riding at night w/o a plate light

Jeez, little harsh, huh?

Hey, it looks better than stock, and it was cheaper than the FAZR6 FE, although I do like the looks of that one better. I can always drill holes in the license plate and mount it up higher. Changing the signals is also easy. Again, if the cops don't like it, it is easily changed. I just haven't gotten around to mounting it up.
