    Can anyone help with links to some 5th gen fender eliminator ideas? I really wanna get a better looking rear on my toy. I find myself attracted to a nice rear.

    I don't know if this is what you are after, but I just trimmed mine with a cutting wheel down to the licence plate, then put an LED light strip to replace the now eliminated rear taillight.

    Before.

    LED light strip from Wal-Mart. Cost all of $5, the only expense of the whole operation.

    Looks even better when you strip and polish the rear wheel, and add a high mount exhaust.

    That is what I will be doing then. And a question about the high mount. How should I get the pipe? Muffler shop? Most of em say "we dont do motorcycles". Maybe I can get em to sell it anyway, then get a friend to bend it.
