Not trying to tick off those that already got in on the first group buy of the first batch of FE's, but here is a preview of the next batch. Made some adjustments like cut slots in for various size licence plate bolt holes, and also laser cut in the VFR graphic.

6TH Generation only. 2002 - 2007

Hope to have the next 20 ready in a couple weeks. Possibly I might even have them to bring to Robbinsville next week.....

I want to reserve 1.

I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but why the VFR graphic? Seems like that would only increase the costs. Either you eat the extra cost, or you have to charge extra for it.......

..........Bikeless and Confused.

Surprisingly - the extra cost is negligible. THere were holes cut in it to reduce weight - and the laser takes a certain amount of time to cut the holes. IT takes a certain amount of time to cut the VFR graphic - and once its programmed - there is no skill involved - only time. If the price is WAY higher - I'll not do it - but I think it'll be fine.

I just thought it would be kinda cool to have it branded that way, as its the only bike that this Fender Eliminator will work on..

When they become available and FOR SALE (which they are not yet) they will be between $45 and $50 USD shipped. PAYPAL will be the method of payment. (My hope is that they stay at the current $45 USD shipped price).

Should be ready in a couple weeks.

I will start a list for those that want to reserve one - just shoot me a PM.



Hey CHev - buy my VFR for $9,000 and I'll throw in a Fender ELiminator for it!!! goofy.gif

think about reversing the logo, so when the plate is on you might see it from the back/inside. a little detail that you could see if you were examining the pipes and tire

Ken, I'd buy that bike from you, but I heard about someone that bought a car from a little old lady that only drove it on Sundays. The first time he put the hammer down some carbon from the piston chunked off hitting the valve causing the head to break completely off the case killing 75 pedestrians. And well, I've been told that you ride like...... you know. I just want a bike that's ready to hammer. goofy.gif

Well done!! I do ride like a little old lady. I sometimes even get it out of 2nd gear.

THe funny thing - is that the designer had reversed the graphic - as was suggested to do intentionally, but it was done in error on the computer. Here it is:
