Fantastic product! I supervised my 17 year old son install this in under an hour going step by step with this video. Factory quality (probably better), excellent fit and finish, and I liked that Vagabond utilized the factory parts without cutting and splicing. Perfect addition to my 2017 Ninja 650 ABS.

Watched this and ordered the product. Saw it go from San Diego to Bell Gardens to Santa Fe Springs to LA to Tokyo and finally to Melbourne Aust. It arrived today and so I rewatched the video and it is done. Easiest install video to watch and follow and the fender eliminator is a great product. LOVE IT!!!!

Installed on my 2019 ninja 650 ABS, perfect fit. Really clean look. Super easy install. Highly recommend over these other $100+ fender eliminator kits. Installation time was about 45 minutes but that’s because it was my first time ever working on a motorcycle so I kept pausing and playing this video. Could very easily be a 30 minute or less install

How do you like your bike? Might be getting one real soon...same year and the orange ABS model....is the seat comfortable? Anything you don't like?
@waterbuffalo384 жыл бұрын
QUICK-STAR I love it, it’s very comfortable to ride. And very easy to maneuver. Only thing I don’t like is you can’t use a ram mount for your phone in the fork stem because it’s not a round hole it’s a hexagon hole. But I’ve found an adapter that works perfectly with it to mount my phone I can send you the link if you’d like. Overall it’s a great bike in my opinion

I accidentally found this video just after doing all this job in my bike. Very instructive, very objective and professional. A little bit long, but still good. I add a little hint for extracting that last screw that holds the fender, by extracting other two 8mm bolts in the front (under the driver seat), and then slide back a little bit the big black plastic part, allowing you to use the phillips screw driver in an easier way to release the fender. Thank you.

Thank God! Someone finally making a tail tidy that doesn't involve cutting the factory harness! IMO the weakest link. So many people don't seal the connectors properly and down the road it leads to stator and rectifier failure. Plus most kits use thinner gauge wire which alters the resistance, which leads to said problems.

Wow what a great step by step hands down the best I’ve seen on KZbin for explaining anything. Great camera work as I was able to see everything you did. I might not be able to do this because ordering givi side cases and top case for touring. I don’t think it will fit where the signals land. Suggestions as I hate that original fender? I guess my only questions why oh why do manufacturers make these beautiful machines with extremely ugly useless fenders. Why don’t these come out of production like this?
@madarchermoto49552 жыл бұрын
I have a 2022 ninja 650 ABS and the square hole in the product that you feed the 3 wires through is too small for my connectors. I guess on the 2022’s they used fatter wire connectors? Not a big deal, I used a Dremel and bored out the hole to be roughly 30% bigger and fed them through and you obviously can’t see it when installed on the bike. But if you’re reading this and you own a 2022 650 ABS you won’t be able to feed your connectors through unless you do what I did. To the company, I suggest making that cutout in your product maybe 40% bigger so the new connectors Kawasaki seems to be using will fit through. But all in all a GREAT product and it looks AMAZING on my bike!!! And this video was an awesome step by step video as well.

For anyone looking for 2021 model. Everything fits. The only issue is on 19:45 when he feeds the cables trough the whole which is a must. No way around it. The cable connecters are to big. The hole is small. What i did grabbed a drill and a twist drill bit and I made the hole bigger. It is hidden so can’t see unless you stick your head between the tail light and tire. Other than that everything is like the video. Love how it looks now.

My 2021 Ninja 650 model has these electrical plastic connector-doo-hickeys and I have NO idea how to work around them. Do I need to buy new electrical plastic connector-doo-hickeys? In the meantime, I followed the video and replaced my fender using the stock lights. Thank you for this great video!

Almost perfect. In some places, the side reflectors are a requirement. If a version of these would be able to incorporate them then it would 100% legal. (Assuming the need for a rear fender is not a legal requirement in itself) Also very surprised that the fender is all plastic on the 650. The Z400 has a metal sub frame and appears more substantial.

@Coaja207 жыл бұрын
Looks real cool but in Spain you`ll get a 200€ fine or not even be able to pass a technical revision for riding with this and let me explain why. This design has no reflector and you could have managed to make room for the original one that you removed from the original fender. And the second reason would be that on a motorcycle which has no back fender, the license plate support has to do the job, meaning that it has to cover the wheel. You could install the fender eliminator but you´ll have to install a fender too, considering that you manage to include a reflector somehow. And finally it has to be officially approved (homologation). Probably you would sell a lot more in Europe if you will managed to fulfill these requirements.
