So I was debating if I wanted to remove the tail, looking for some opinions/feedback.

Also if I decide to leave it off, I'll have to find a fender eliminator, any one have any suggestions?

 

[yoter]

so far its a landslide.

Alright, well if I decide to put it back, I think I still should get a fender eliminator though maybe?

<jedi mind control voice>/ You don't want to put it back on. You want to leave it off. Come over to the dark side. Hollow mod it.../<end jedi mind control voice>

If you don't want mud and water hitting you in the back of the head leave it off. No way I could be without one but I primarily ride in the trails.

It kinda takes the trailways out of tw. Maybe call it a W200

So I went out and put the tail back on but removed the bulky fender, pulled off all warning/info stickers and front reflectors, I think I'm also going to smoke the front signals.

I have an eliminator kit on order that I will be putting on either way I go.

Don't listen to them, keep it off! My fender eliminator is an LED bar light from JC Whitney, and two bolts holding the plate on a piece of aluminum I bent with pliers... easy as pie, just like the TW likes it!

Roost? who rides in the rain without a raincoat anyways. The whole fenderless thing is set for a urban enviroment anyways. They have other options for removing the stock fender. The second picture has a seat with a FPR rear fender built in. There is also a round fender that bolts under the seat that only sticks out 2 or 3 inches. You can also hand make a fender like BMW R 1200 GS uses. Its a round fender 6 inches that hovers over the rear tire.

Those reflectors you pulled off....pretty sure they are there because they are required by the DOT....

Every DOT is different. Local rules to one isn't necessarily local rules to another.

I need more pics of THIS bike like the other side lol. Back shot pleeeeaaaaseee



Ill post up some pics soon when I get my new taillight in. Im going to get rid of the tail section but trim down the rear plastic so it will still have that piece covering the exhaust. Im keeping it simple as this is my first riding year and cash is tight. Im doing that and a round headlight conversion. I just want to see a bike with the tail chopped like Im going to but looks like Ill be the first posting those pics since Ive searched everywhere



Oh and a fender eliminator is what? A taillight not sure what that is. Im getting a piece of angle taillight with license plate mount on it pooof done

Reflectors? DOT? Lose those f*ckers.
