wrillo Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 So I don't like the look of the back fender on the ZZR, so I modified it! I shortened the turn signals, moved the license plate, and chopped the big ass fender off.The problem (& solution): Problem on the right, solution on the leftGet under the fender and loosen the 10mm nut holding the signal and reflector onMy reflector isn't there because I've already done the next few steps, but normally its likeOkay, now slide the stem extension offNow we want to cut off the little tube that sticks off that guymake it look likeSet that aside, get your reflector. Now cut the reflector bracket like soPut your signal back on without the stem extensionNow put your stem extension on from the inside, secure it with your new bracket and the 8mm nut you took off. Right side is finished:Put your bike back together!Part two:I already did my practice cut, but I just wanted to show how it was stock:So here is my practice cut:The "real" cut:I used "s-curve" stencils to get the shape I wanted, but it didn't come out quite as well as I hoped:So I added some automotive "door edge guard", I think it looks quite nice like this:Finished!oh yeah, and I moved the license plate bracket at some point in there:edit oh.. and ignore the date on all these pictures! lol I always forget to set that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brennan Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 i always prefer no fender, but for what you did, it looks really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSXRBirch Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 looks god man, i always thought the fenders were stupid and ugly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrillo Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 i always prefer no fender, but for what you did, it looks really good.I too prefer the look of no fender, but I use this bike to commute and therefore I ride a lot. I wanted to stay with the stock signals for safety, and there wasn't any better way to mount them.... so I ended up with this. I'm very happy with it though, I'll post some pictures when I get it on the bike too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatbikez Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 looks good but you should have went for a fender elminator plus integrated turn signals. Or just get a undertail kit that comes with turn signals. would have looked much slicker and cleaner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoosego Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 but for the expense it looks cleaner anyway..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
