DRZ400SM TST Industries Fender Eliminator Kit Install

[@justinspencer7418]

Just purchased the TST fender eliminator kit and turn signals for my 2023 and used your videos to install and they really made it a breeze. Love your videos have watched almost all the DRZ videos and they really are great tutorials. You don’t miss anything and explain things very well. Thank you 🙏🏽🤘🏼

[@linksgarage1985]

This is the kind of comment that keeps me going. I appreciate the kind words. The videos aren’t perfect. But they should be a pretty good indicator of what you’re in for. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it!

If it won’t start, something has to be unplugged I would think. Let me know what you find!

@linksgarage1985 ohhhhh man.... i just bought a 2024 drz after selling my cb1000r...... i needed something chill that isn't gonna get me locked up... fun in town bike so far... i mostly just ride to work .. i'm in southern CA.... ride all year in the Coachella valley...

[@linksgarage1985]

@ I totally get it. I also ride a GSXR1000. So I know what you mean.

[@joeymac837]

This was the first thing I did to my DRZ when I got it, I also put a turn signal y splitter harness in the back and a set of BL6 turn signals in the rack mount holes in the sub frame and another set of BL6 turn signals in the front. Great Video.

Been watching your drz vids for two years and finally picked one up yesterday! Now I got a whole Playlist to rewatch! Keep up the great work! P.s. if you ever want to get rid of the factory fender and turn signals, I know a guy... me 😁

Thanks man! Lots of videos on the channel. This is an old one. You can learn here!

[@lukeskywalker1840]

Is it possible for you to give me a list of the exact same parts that I need to order to complete the rear? There’s a lot of different parts on their website and I just want to know exactly what ones I need to order to get the job done the same way that you did. Thank you for your help.

[@linksgarage1985]

@@lukeskywalker1840 sure. Although I did add the brake light modulator after and I love it! Full video on channel as well. Their website is really user friendly. Just put in the Suzuki DRZ400SM and all this will pop up. Good luck! 1. TST Smoked rear light. 2. TST low profile LED license plate light. 3. The TST adjustable fender eliminator upgrade kit. 3. The Suzuki 7 pin flasher relay (so it doesn’t flash fast) 4. TST brake light modulator

[@nathanbray2144]

Just bought a drz that has this kit. I watched the whole video and looks like the installer did it just like you did. However, the left blinker just stays on if you hit the brakes and the right blinker usually just stays on or doesn't work at all. Brake lights and head light work fine. Any suggestions?

[@linksgarage1985]

Something isn’t wired right. I would triple check everything. Sounds odd

[@brandontyler9952]

Bit late to this video, I have watched a lot of your drz videos, I have a 2023 drz I’ve done the typical, must do mods to it. So I installed my Amazon tail tidy kit and have already deleted my rear bag, other than the lower 10mm nuts are the push pins the only other hardware keeping your rear fender mounted down? Can’t wait for more DRZ videos, you sold on the barkers exhaust

[@linksgarage1985]

Yep! Just the push pins in the rear fender. Holds it just fine. Doesn’t wobble or rattle. More DRZ vids incoming! And that barkers exhaust is a freaking beast. Wayyyy better than the Delkevic I was running.

[@GODSWORD11]

I got a cheaper kit from Amazon.. it’s not plug and play like your TST. Can I match up the wires and use wire nuts then electric tape? Or heat shrink? Thanks for all of your videos and help.

[@linksgarage1985]

Should be able to maybe h them up. And heat shrink them. Try everything before you heat shrink it! To make sure it works.

[@craiggossman1553]

[@barbados1267]

Where do I look up that license plate light part number? And also where did you get those push in taps you put in the tool bag holes?

[@linksgarage1985]

Plate is in TST website. Those are just push pins, or Xmas trees. A quick Amazon search will snag you some cheap! Thanks for watching!

Is the license plate mount part of the kit? My drz had a tree fall on it and Bent the piss out of my bracket. I have tst industries light but my license plate bracket looks nothing like the one on tst industries website.

[@linksgarage1985]

I bought it all as a kit from TST. Added bracket relay and light.

Hell yea. I’ve got quite a few now. More to come!

[@rickdaniels2837]

Did you have to use the tail light modulater and the relay for everything to work right or just the relay? It tries to get you to buy both in their package deal

[@linksgarage1985]

You do not need the modulator for it all to work. However, I added the modulator later. I like it.

Yo gotta link?? And how is it at night an day asking because older people if they can see it ( Turn signals)

[@linksgarage1985]

I would say it’s brighter! At least the brake and tail light. The turn signal may not be as noticeable. But I’ve had zero issues. At night it’s great!

[@MrJuuler]

Will I hurt anything if I just let it flash at a faster speed?

[@linksgarage1985]

Nope. Won’t hurt anything. It will just flash fast.

[@rbbr1031]

What exactly did you order from them for the video here’? I’d like to do the same. As far as the rear fender stuff.

[@linksgarage1985]

I believe it was just the fender eliminator kit, and the rear license plate light. Great stuff. Just filmed a new video, not up yet.. but it’s if the brake light modulator from TST. It’s a must have as well!

[@sawyerscott8571]

I wonder if this kit will work with the 2023 ?

Is almost bet if will. DRZ hasn’t changed for like 20 years

[@jeffreywhittle6161]

Did all of that come as a kit, or did you have to purchase them individually? (Relay, front signals, etc.)

[@linksgarage1985]

All separate. Thanks for watching!

[@CraigSmith568]

I'm curious if there is a place to mount turn signals like the ones you put on the front with this kit. I would rather have those than the integrated turn signals. I just feel they are easier to tell which side is blinking. I assume if you used them you would just plug them in instead of the ones on the taillight. Looking ahead I plan on doing a lot of the same mods to mine.

[@linksgarage1985]

I’m sure you could wire something up! Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

[@RedboneUnincorporated]

Dude,you rock. There are lots and lots of DRZ mod videos out there. But most of them don't do as good a job as you do at explaining and showing the process. You are my go to now that I got a new DRZ. I'm curious as to how this kit has held up since you've put it in. Would you still recommend it?

[@linksgarage1985]

First of all, thank you!!! And hell yes I would still recommend. I love this kit!!!!! Cleans up the rear so much! Lots of content on the channel. We cover it all. If you need help, let me know!
