    Default plate relocate after fender removal

    OK folks, I would like to make a couple more rides this year but the right side support for the rear fender has finally broken through. Had the left one replaced but it was at my cost. Don't want to do that again. So, if I remove the rear fender I would like to relocate the plate to the left side of the swing arm. Any body know of a kit already out there to do this? And if not, has anybody done this yet? I would love to see pictures of what you folks have done about the plate.

    I got mine from guy from ebay for $33 + ship, he is manufacturing them, very very nice work he has and it goes just under the axle nut, nice and clean looking.

    Check my photos. I mounted it up high in the rear and then added tail lights as it blocked the stockers.
    If you mountit low enough to clear the lights it will hit the tire.
    On the side sounds like a good option.
    Caution:
    Some states (FL for one) require it to be mounted upright so stay away from those that mount it on it's side if you travel.

    If your the only one ryding your Spyder, have someone take 4 4" screws and screw it into your backside. That way you will never lose it.

    Thanks folks, you know I just saw Brian and Deb while in Libertyville, IL. Never even thought about looking at his set up other than to follow him when riding around back there. I spent this morning removing the rear fender and supports. My Spyder looks a lot different without that rear fender. It will have to do till I can get the supports replaced. Thanks again for the suggestions, 'cept of course for the screws to the backside guy
    I'm still working on the plate but I imagine it will look alot like Brian's. When I get done I will try to get some pics up.

    Tom he has a little bit different set up now. I will go take photos of both for you. I just have to edit them now so they aren't so large.

    We will try this: Here are Brian's new rear plate, it works because he has the Kewlmetal rack.



    Here is mine now:

    Cyclegear stores (cyclegear.com to find nearest) has a Yamaha fender eliminator for a few bucks. It works okay I guess. Pix:
