Fender Eliminator Kits

Does the original rear fender and licence plate holder take up too much space at the back of your motorcycle? A fender eliminator kit replaces it with a shorter holder for the licence plate and typically the indicators, giving the rear end a tighter look. The kits are model-specific and made for particular motorcycles and model years.

What a fender eliminator kit does

The kit removes the long original rear fender and moves the licence plate closer up under the seat. We stock kits from New Rage Cycles, and they are built for specific models and model years, e.g. the Kawasaki ZX-6R from 2024, Ducati 959 Panigale from 2016-19, Suzuki DRZ400 and BMW R Nine T. The change is primarily visual and does not affect engine performance.

How to choose the right kit

• Model and year: the product name states which model years the kit fits – check it against your motorcycle.
• Design: some kits are labelled “Tucked”, where the holder sits further in under the rear end, while others are complete kits or just a bracket.
• Indicators: kits marked “w/Load EQ” include a load equalizer, which is typically used if LED indicators would otherwise flash too fast.
• Other modifications: if you also change plastic parts for the rear end or fit motorcycle luggage, it can affect the space behind the seat.

Installation typically requires you to remove the rear fender and reroute the wiring for the licence plate light and indicators. The licence plate, lights and reflector must be positioned so the motorcycle can pass its roadworthiness inspection; whether that is the case depends on the kit and the motorcycle, so check the placement and any approval for the specific part number. You can find other parts for the rear end and riding position among our motorcycle accessories.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a complete kit and a bracket?

According to the designation, a bracket is the holder itself, while a complete kit typically also includes mounting hardware and possibly lights. Check the description for the specific part number so you know what is included.

Should I choose a kit with Load EQ?

It depends on your indicators. If you switch to LED indicators, they can flash too fast without a load equalizer. If you keep the original bulbs, it is typically not necessary.

Can the motorcycle pass inspection with a fender eliminator kit?

It depends on the kit and the motorcycle. The licence plate's position and angle, licence plate light and reflector must meet the requirements, so check this and any approval for the specific part number before the inspection.
