Just put on my Carbon Fiber Pipe from Jardine on my 05 Lightning Scg and boy does it look sharp  2 more mods that are on the very near horizon....a Race Ecm and the Fender Eliminator, what is everyone's opinion on the best place to get the Fender Eliminator for my bike? | ||

Check the sponsors section. Special Ops will modify yours, American Sport Bike you can get a replacement. You will hear good things about both. Trojan across the water also has some nice kits. | ||

Rizoma makes one. Not sure if any of the sponsors sell it or not. I saw it for about $140 on one site. I'm tempted to buy that IF modifying my tail myself turns out ugly. | ||

Make it yourself. It's really very easy with a 4.5" angle grinder, some aluminum grinding disks, a sanding disk, emery cloth, and some paint. Took me about an hour to complete the mod minus the paint. That tail piece has a ton of metal and there really isn't any worry about cutting holes in it accidentally. Just be smooth and careful not to grind gouges into it. Even if you did, a little Bondo would fix that. Piece of cake for around 40 bucks minus the cost of a grinder if you need one. You can get a Ryobi for about 30 dollars though.   | ||

thanks guys...I'm still not sure what I'm gonna do yet...kinda thinking about doing it myself to save a buck but I might also mount the license plate on the arm possibly.... | ||

I got the Rizoma unit and found out it is fiberglass. It looks OK but is pretty thin and flexible... light though. I have not yet installed it because I forgot to buy a license plate bracket, and it doesn't look like you can use the turn signals with it so I suspect I'll have to buy an all in one tail-light. The true cost is not what it seems. | ||

I did mine myself too. You can also take to a local guy (welding shop) and I'm sure it won't cost you more than 40$ I kept the stock turn single location and bought a 10$ firebolt mounting bracket (modified it a little) for the plate I also put LED light plate bolts on to light the plate ( I got them from Kuryakyn)  | ||

I got the Rizoma unit and found out it is fiberglass. Ew. I'm glad you told us that. Now I know I won't be getting the Rizoma unit. | ||

As for my license plate lights, I marked and notched out the aluminum housing covering the clear lens integrated into the stock tail light lens. Yep, it's already there, just have to cut a notch so that the clear lens is showing. Must be a standard lens used in multiple applications. Look at the bottom picture in my post a few postings up and you can almost see the cut our area. Works great too! |
