Don't try this if you don't have it handy!

I've always wondered what my 2016 FZ-07 would look like with one of these. Проблема заключалась в том, что я не поверил заявлениям других о том, что вы значительно похудели, отказавшись от стандартного кронштейна крыла, и в то время, когда я открыл для себя Fender Eliminators, Йошимура был единственным продавцом, которого я смог найти, а я no I wanted to spend $130 on an aesthetic setup. I thought the price of this Eliminator was much nicer and I bought it. Here you get what you pay for. First off, yes, the Fender Elimintator will shave a few grams off the weight of your bike. But I'm not a racer and I'd rather take the weight off my bike than off my bike. Second, this kit works IF you know how to use specific tools like a soldering iron AND you have spare fixings. Now for the kit itself. I had NO instructions. It was also missing the M3 nuts needed to attach the new LED license plate light to the bracket. I would like to thank colleague Eddie for trying to stick to a standard number plate. light and found it didn't fit. It saved me the heartache of trying and reaching my conclusion and I had to put up with having to cut off the standard light and put in the LED light that comes with this kit. I also followed his wiring instructions, blue to yellow and black to black, and my light worked fine. Thanks Eddy! Luckily I had a box with a set of metric fasteners, so I got my own M3 nuts. I also turned to YouTube for instructions on how to remove the stock fender and install this kit. I used the tutorial videos for the Yoshimura kit as it was pretty close. As far as I know you can crimp some of the connectors on this kit's license plate light bike harness and light wires, but I chose to solder this kit's light wires directly to the bike wire harness. You'll also need to cut or rip out some of the flares in the turn signal bracket cutouts. I just settled on the stock turn signals, despite the fact that many prefer to install aftermarket signals, and once I ripped out the parts of the flash (using pliers and a vise) and discarded the rest of the stuff, the stock Blinker got up immediately. So. How badly do you want your FZ/MT-07 to have a wing flare? People seem really happy with the much more expensive Yoshimura kit. I'm really happy with the price I paid for this kit, although it required a lot more work and modifications, some of which I find unnecessary. I think for a few bucks more Xitomer can crimp the appropriate connectors so you can literally just plug in this kit's license plate light rather than cutting off the stock light and soldering/crimping this kit's light. You may be more careful about providing the correct documentation AND the parts included in these kits. So if you want more "insert" options, you might have to shell out a more expensive kit. Again, if you're handy and don't mind soldering and improvising as you work, and you have access to extra fasteners, you'll save a lot of money by buying this kit. It took some effort but I installed this kit without damage and it really makes my FZ-07 look better.
