Hey all! I bought the Competition Werkes fender eliminator for my 2010 VFR. I know, I know, "Well, ya coulda' done that for almost free if ya had just................." Got it. I like mods I can easily undo if I want and, I suck at wrenching. This came with directions and stuff. First off, it arrives in stainless steel. I thought that would look goofy on the bike, so I painted it black (Rustoleum primer/painter in one). Otherwise, it goes on easy enough. It does leave a small gap between the license light and the housing (you remove the license light extender). Overall, I like it. Could be cheaper, but, it's also a plug and play type item with little extra demanded of me. I would post a pic, but, I suck at that too. Go to Comp. Werkes website and have a look at their pic. Worthwhile mod if you're too stoopid and lazy to make a do-it-yourselfer.
Ride safe.
Oh, I just went out and looked at it again and gave it a good tug. It's on there really solid as well. More solid than the factory set up. Overall, it's a good piece of kit. Nice set up.
Ride safe.
Linky? hehe... speaking of lazy and google....
Oh, yeah. That was rude of me.
- Go to Google.
- Type Competition Werkes.
- Specialized Products.
- Honda.
- 2010.
- VFR1200.
- Fender Minimizer kit.
That's how I found it. Should still work. Good luck.
Ride safe.
:laughing6-hehe:
Thanks for the review. I'm ordering one of those.
Rode to work and back today. It was planted and sturdy. The only thing I can say bad about it is, it shows up in raw stainless steel. That won't look right. A coupla' bucks in Rustoleum and it was perfect. Works good. Last's long time.
Ride safe.
Alrighty, here's the million dollar question.
Do you think with that fender eliminator that this rack would still work?
http://www.twistedth...ctview/5493/77/Looks like the back mount of the kit bolts up to the tail where those bolts are for the new tail kit...
Looks to me like it wouldn't be a problem, but since you've had it in your hands, maybe you'd see something I don't.
Yokel I think it will work. In the CW picture it looks like there's little reflectors in the holes where the hardware bolts on for the Motech racks. If it works let me know, 'cause I'm gonna get one too.
Yeah, think you're right.
Worth the fifty dollar risk I think... Just ordered it. I'll let ya know.
After looking at the pictures, I think it would work OK. You may have to get different bolts for attach points on the side of the fender. Otherwise, I think it may work just fine. Let me know. Ride safe.
