rear fender

[richard kersten]

I want to clean up the rear fender and remove that plate light and raise the plate up higher , what do you do with the wires just snip them ? thanks

I believe you will find that all wires plug in someplace between the light and the battery....just unplug at the junction.

How do you plan on cleaning it up ? Are you going to use flush mount rear blinkers ? I was thinking of just cutting off all that extra plastic where the plate is mounted now . Post pics of your finished product . I'm going to do mine over the winter so I'm looking for ideas

do you have to cut the plastic? or does it actually come off?

looks like I am gonna have to cut the plastic

Or buy a TXC rear fender and save the stock one.

Keep us posted. I'm sure someone on here has done it.

I just took off the black plastic, to include the blinkers, and used the white plastic as the backing for the license plate. I then created small turn signals attached to the 8mm bolt heads that are in the wheel well area. There are some photos of this on the chat board somewhere. Racing and trail riding all told the blinkers still work and I've had no issue with the plate hitting anything.

Here is what I did.

Just fitted two little LED's under the taillight for numberplate illumination.

Are you running street tires ?

Did you have to cut black plastics or does it bolt off? I have some flush mount leds on the way...also how did you wire LEDs for illumination? Thanks!

Yep it's a road trim SMR449.

The LEDs were just double sided taped to the under side of the taillight.
The standard plate light uses bullet terminals so I just crimped some new terminals on the LED wires and plugged them in.

That photo is just a trial fit with zipties holding the plate on. But I was going to drill two holes and put rubber mounts under the plate.

The stock SMR fender looks like this

It has two bolts under the top fender and the three plugs to remove the whole thing.

Crash tested some flush mount LED's....held up better than the bars and sub frame

Finally got my LEDs from sicass, as well as my key switch...couple of hours later got everything going! Excuse the mess!

Where did you get those LEDs?
