Fender Eliminator Project

Time to clean up the rear end by getting rid of the ugly fender/license plate holder/blinker assembly!

Here is the stock fender assembly.

I had to remove the seat, side plates, bolts and clips that hold the bodywork on. Then it looked something like this.

Now I unhooked the wiring harnesses for the blinkers and license plate light and removed the fender. Doesn't it look much cleaner!!

I am currently fabricating a license plate holder /blinker assembly that will mount up flush to the undertail.

Next I went to Radio Shack and bought a small circuit board and 12 Red LED's (6 for the Left Blinker and 6 for the Right).

Circuit board and LED's

My high-end custom soldering fixture

All soldered up

Then I soldered on the wiring harness from the stock blinkers.

I hooked them up last night and tested them, they work like a charm and are BRIGHT! Hopefully today the mounting plate will get sheared and punched so I can get it primed, painted and ready for the LED's to be installed.
