REAR FENDER

[lbarrios]

Have any of you guys taken off the rear fender from your Spyder? If so, could you please posts a pic or two. Thanks.

Where did you get your new tag mount from? That looks nice. I've seen some that just look like bent tin and yours has a nice shape to it.

That looks really sharp! Was there anything special that you needed to do when you took the fender off?

 

[lbarrios]

Do you happen to get any crap kicking up on you without the back fender while you are on the road???

I have mine off and have had no problem with water or anything flinging up. Here is a shot of mine and Johns with his modified fender, which I have done the same to mine if I ever decide to put it back on.

Looks great! Did you guys fabricate the license plate holder, or did you buy that somewhere?

 

[mckenziejon]

look at it . it is directly from the original fender.

McK is right....I took the rear fender that I removed and cut the license plate holder off of it.
I like the way that it looks stock and part of the original bike.

The question I have about those license plate mounts is if there is enough clearance between the tire and the plate if you bottom out the Spyder. Thats probably not an issue for many Spyder riders but for a heavyweight like me (250 - 260 lbs.) bottoming out on rough roads happens. I do like the high center mount and I'm working on something like it that allows enough clearance between the plate and the tire. My first two attempts with a modified motorcycle fender still gave me plate / tire rubbing problems. I now have cut that fender down quite a bit and it works 99% of the time but I still get the occasional plate rub. I think my problem is now isolated to the undertail pan where I'm mounted. It is too flexible and I need to stiffen that up. If I can't do that to my satisfaction, I've spoken with Magic Man about buying one of his lighted plate frames and mounting the plate by the left passenger peg or near the left axle nut. Here are a few pictures of what I'm working with now. Please excuse the dirty Spyder. pps:
