rear fender ideas

[Jer]

I want to remove the rear fender and put more of a sport bike looking fender. Little to no fender or just a tag holder at the top of the tire.
You guys have any ideas on a tag holder that would work.

I have this one on my GS and one just like it coming for my F-3.
The F-3 really soaks your backside on wet roads with no fender.
I plan on a luggage rack to fix that.

I really like that one, I don't think I can spend $300 on
an rss rear fender. That is exactly the look I want

I seem to recall somebody putting a Kawasaki Concours rear fender on a GS... :dontknow:
I don't know what they cost, but it might be worth a look! :thumbup:

If you pay a little attention, this post is in the F3 forum. so, I would hope he's talking about an F3.

My Fender Removal

I had this done at the local dealership. Parts and labor totaled about $150.

Hey KC, nice ride.
Do you know what bracket and or tag holder they used?

Just found my parts and labor invoice. Give Tampa Bay Powersports a call, they can provide more info on the parts (813) 968-7888‎:

License Bracket - Part Number 201564 - $17.99
License Plate Frame with LED - Part Number 211324 - $29.99

They charged .5 hours for labor for $35.00


Total of $83 bucks. I had the pegs moved to position 4 and the fender removed. That's why I thought it was around $150. They said any sports bike bracket would work. Make sure they shave down the license frame screws down so it won't bump the tires if you ride 2-up. I am 6'0 and 240 pounds. I've had no issues.

Hope it helps!

That's perfect, thanks. Good tip on grinding down the screws

Another idea . . . .

. . . another rider here in NM took off the rear fender and then mounted it ( screws ) to the top of the rear wheel well so that the plate was just under the brake/turn signals.

It looked very "clean" and he said it only took a couple of minutes to do. Later, he reinstalled the whole rear fender ( he was thinking he might sell it ) and the bike was back to 100% stock.
