bugie Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) @hussan- Isn't that the B5c-h4550 optional fender eliminator without the extension bar? Edited April 18, 2019 by bugie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugie Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Have been look for a fender eliminator for ages. Unfortunately all of the ones I have seen (including Hussan's setup) result in the indicators being hidden between the panniers so it is nearly impossible for following traffic to see them unless they are directly behind you.

Agreed, - if you want to keep the bags mounted AND have the indicators actually be seen then your only option will be to keep them out back behind the bags, at or near the stock position. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitness911 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) so I bought a fender eleminator on ebay and it was looking all good until i tried to put the panniers on so I went with plan B for now but I'm trying to find something that would look good and fit with the panniers Edited April 18, 2019 by hitness911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsmith Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) I too want to do a 'fender-eliminator' surgery on my 2015, eliminating the 'crane' but keeping the OE pumpkins. Having an aftermarket luggage rack fitted, I figured it would be quite an easy job to fabricate a bracket to go across the underside of the rack then mount the pumpkins from the two ends of this bracket. This would carry them a little higher than as-is, and make it OK to install the hard panniers. The only thing that has stopped me from taking this route already is that I rarely carry the panniers, so it might be a lot of work for very little return. Or it might be laziness! But I certainly wouldn't ride the bike with the pumpkins hidden from the sides by the panniers - besides which the pleece may be upset!

Premium Member sirepair Posted April 19, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted April 19, 2019 Here's my custom fugly toolbox/fender with bright-azz LED turn signals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hussan Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 @bugie Yes, that’s correct 👍 @fddriver2 I don’t have any detailed pictures of how I did the modification. There are 2 extension brackets for the turn signals that are adjustable to change the distance between the turn signals. The narrowest position was not enough to get clearance with the side bags so I had to cut the brackets a bit to get them closer to the license plate. Really simple modification with great result imo. But I agree that the visibility is not perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitness911 Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) I have no idea how i'll make it fit 😭 ( the 2 lines are the distance between the panniers) Edited April 20, 2019 by hitness911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
