[@kylem9416]

Just installed this. It is solid, simple, and looks good. Here were my user errors or some tips I discovered that might help some of you 3:33 The turn signals are actually buried under two other heavy cables and it is a tight fit. I had to pry lightly at the plastic cover to expose the turn signal connections and undo them. Then pull the signal cables out of the plastic, then compress the plastic sleeve and pull it free. 15:05 Make sure the washers are lined up just right. I thought I had tightened it good enough and that my turning signal was loose. It was because my washers were not lined up perfect like they should be even though they appeared to be the first go around. You might even have to flip the middle washer 18:28 There are 2 sets of steel centers that look identical. You need the smaller set for this part. I tried the larger without thinking and thought man this is rough. I got the big ones in before I realized I had 2 identical smaller ones, and that made a lot more sense. When you are putting the lights back on the eliminator, just remember, the signal with the gray plug is the left, the black is the right.

The yelling in the background adds some refreshing depth to this instructional video.

[@VagabondMotorsports]

+msdss one of the benefits of being surrounded by breweries ;)

[@msdss]

+Vagabond Motorsports Tempted to pull out the screams and make a nice remix track to listen to while I install this on my bike this weekend. :)

[@VagabondMotorsports]

+msdss haha :)!

[@danielreddrodriguez]

Just placed my order. I love the fact that I’m able to use the stock parts and not have to cut and solder the wires.

[@rgayle23]

Just purchased mine! Both the bike and the Vagabond FE. This will be my first mechanical endeavor of nearly anything, so thanks for making a detailed "How To" Video! It's appreciated!

[@VagabondMotorsports]

+R23 awesome! congrats no the new bike and thank you for your business!!

[@faizalliya2256]

@@VagabondMotorsports Hye..im from malaysia..for malaysia we got yamaha r25..this product can fit for yamaha r25 malaysia?and how to order it..im realy love the product after watching your video!..thank you sir..i hope u can reply this for me..tq

[@DreamVicarious]

This video is nicely done. Clear and concise explanation of the install. Very easy to follow and complete. Anyone could do this....even a caveman.

[@HeroofSomething]

I wouldn't say even a caveman since it does have some sensitive components that are played with. also, assuming the caveman is filthy, they may get the bike and electrical parts dirty. Not too sure they would have the proper tools as well.

[@danielmcgrath9369]

Guur,me caveman,me hav rocks and fire's to fits 'dis plate,gurrr,damm dinner plate,gurrr..LOL

[@tenshield7804]

I just put mine on and I love it! It's pretty easy to put it on, inexpensive and great quality! If you have a limited budget, just go for it! You won't regret.

[@slowmanEF]

Just ordered this for the R3 I purchased today. Thanks to this vid, you sold me on it.

[@ALexpWTFISTHAT]

my fender eliminator just got here at noon and i got it installed in an hour or so! Super easy installation and super clear instructions! Love the look of it on my R3!

[@GABD6920031]

I have installed the fender on my Yamaha R3 in the UK by following this very good installation video. However, the wiring connectors are slightly different in the UK and the side lights attach with screws rather than bolts (the screws are less robust and attach to soft plastic which easily distorts under pressure). The final look is great; very sporty! Excellent video guide but just note the slightly different specs of UK/European parts.

[@b0rs]

Solid tutorial. Bought the fender eliminator kit for my 22 R3 and already have the first half complete while I wait for it to arrive.

[@stephenbassett2409]

Just put mine on from amazon, made my day! Everything fit perfect on the 2020 model r3, and looks sharp:). Took about an hour for me watching the video step by step.

[@kelseadelarosa9750]

Just placed an order, thank you for the detailed install video! I feel confident about doing it myself rather than paying a shop to install thanks to your no nonsense video!

[@dman250r]

I went with the Vagabond Motorsports kit because of this video, price, and the better fitment (high and tight.. hugs the tail compared with the other vendors so far). Great product!

[@luvx70]

Great vid with proper terminology. So glad you didn't connect this thingy to this rubber thing that connects to the other thing while holding the cam with one hand.

[@emphase6]

Just ordered this after seeing peoples reviews on the yamaha r3 forums. looks great! thank you raven r3 from new hampshire

[@RadianMeasure]

Just ordered the fender eliminator from your Amazon store. This vid helped build confidence in your product vs the other choices available in amazon. Lookin forward to mounting it!

[@Potpressure]

Thanks for the great video, it had a lot to do with my purchase. I picked one of these up from Vagabond Motorsport through eBay. Placed my order early in the day, they shipped it that night and it was at my door 2 days later. Install was a breeze thanks to this great video and my R3 looks a lot better than before. The fender eliminator is well constructed and everything fit perfect. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a good fender eliminator and I plan to order from them again for the exhaust mount. Keep up the good work!

[@michaelr1184]

Just ordered mine today, can’t wait for it to come in!

[@layfon87]

just brought and installed one. Super easy install and looks great!

[@B00Red1]

Great video, looks like a great product and that is where my money is going. A detailed video on a product like this easily attracts me. I feel more confident in this product than the other ones ive seen... great job guys!

[@bos1756]

Thanks for the video. I did the whole install just using the tool kit with the bike. Little bit more effort but still quite easy. Thanks again!

[@BackwardsMarathonPSU]

Excellent video and great product. Followed along and everything turned out great! Really cleans up the look of the bike.

[@On3Shorti]

I just installed my fender eliminater and Frame sliders. Looks great!

[@oscarcasco1307]

Nice video and explanations of everything about this project!!

[@Enctypt]

I've ordered this one over the others because it looks much better with the lights "high and tight" as others have mentioned. Also this is a great video.

[@hali_moto]

Ordered mine today along with their frame sliders

[@myriad860]

Great product. And this video was very helpful for my installation. My bike is now complete.

[@rickbenson5556]

man, outstanding job on this video.

[@Ant2Fresh]

Vagabond Frame Sliders and Fender Eliminator!! Thanks for the videos

[@DanyElMito]

It's a beautiful fender eliminator for yamaha yzf r3

[@VagabondMotorsports]

Hey thanks!

[@DavesMotorCars]

best kit out there.

[@danielmcgrath9369]

Good vid man,voice over very helpful,thanks again.

[@technoman726]

Dude, your video is awesome, remarkable!!

[@miguelenriquez8627]

I love that this included the stock license plate light unlike the TST industries which makes you buy another one. Quick tip, I accidentally installed the turn signals backwards, instead of pulling everything apart just connect the black with grey and grey with black. Surprised it worked

[@theclikgroup]

Great video.. Used it for my entire install!

[@YamahaR3Racer010]

I almost purchased the Yoshimura eliminator but saw that this one mounts the signals up higher and almost half the price! USA made! I'm in! Subscribed and placing my order!

[@VagabondMotorsports]

***** awesome :) and it's on its way!

[@YamahaR3Racer010]

Awesome! I just made my first video and put in a word for you guys =D Will have more video once I install it also! Thanks for the great product. (Peter J)

[@IcemanSam650]

I have to support my fellow Californians! Buying one now

[@patrickoliveira9496]

very easy to install, just put some mark on the cables or take a photo when you unplug the cables

[@ratchfordgeorge]

Very impressive and clear video

[@patriciabrown4809]

you guys rock...great product!

[@rivaldojunior4823]

awesome video dude!

[@connorbaverstock5875]

Thanks a lot for the vid guys, UK owner and it's perfect, my only issue was the fact i had to drill holes into my license plate because they weren't wide enough but it's nice and tidy, looks great and is half the price of any other brand!

[@Scouser-N7]

I hate how big our plates are

[@SiggyCloud]

+scousevampire They are fucking ridiculous aren't they.

[@ianespiritu9399]

Magnificent Vid

[@adnanavdic3623]

Just ordered mine

[@brownyonwheels]

I love this one over the TST industries one. Would this fit 2020 r3 ?

[@elithegreat6463]

Great How-to video

[@zosangzualarf5809]

Dayummm.....i need one!!

[@QuarterZipBro]

Terrific stuff

[@gdari1838]

good tutorial..

[@ToeTagger11]

Damn guys great job. It honestly makes the bike look 100% better. R3 being so new and having that horrible stock fender made me turn away from it. I think I'll be picking one up!

[@VagabondMotorsports]

+Jeremy012596 Thanks for the compliment! You should pick one up! The R3 is such a fun bike!!

[@caspercas2435]

Thank you for video

[@VagabondMotorsports]

you're welcome :)

[@ReedEyees]

installed on my R3 2016 matt grey EU version, easier because oem turn signal come with a screw not a bolt and with a universal adapter not the yamaha adapter so no need to cut the little piece between turn signal and bolt

[@TheMazdarx8gt]

that was awsome

[@kenwilson6850]

Here to see 14:23 the sequence of washers in regards to the base plate. That part is not clear in the directions. Directions should be updated to say all three washers go inside base plate. Great video to go along with the directions.

[@mightyone8733]

Ive got a datatool alarm system connected to the indictor wires.... would it ruin the alarm if i disconnect the wires and reconnect them?

[@HookLine48]

You guys should do one for the Fz-07. Mine looks super sharp after installing it

[@VagabondMotorsports]

Sorry we don't have an install video for the FZ-07! :(

[@saswatsnayak102030]

man please do a walkaround video of that bike with that camera is yours I'm sure it'll look stunning

[@anthonyalava2478]

The aftermarket wire was definitely shorter, would you have to buy another Wire harness?

[@DA5NN6Y]

I'm currently trying to install mine but the indicators are not plugs like in this video, do you know how I can go about this?

[@r18ch10]

You dont actually have to cut the little retainer at all. All you have to do is swivel it into the other side through the holes that the wires go, fat side first.

[@kovacmordus8899]

Awesome :)

[@ALBARQAL]

will this fender fit with Yamaha YZF R15

[@yashjain1112]

Is the r3 very bug in size? Like is it bigger(height wise) than the rc200? Please revert

[@SuperChupamelasbolas]

helo. i want to buy the for a MT03 2017, is the same as the R3 ???

[@braxtonblackburn2775]

I love how Yamaha know that people where going to remove the finder and they set down and took the time and made it to where the average Joe coukd do so without cutting nothing besides two little metal pieces.

[@lickmycrackandsack]

Just bought one of these this vid is reason why

[@VagabondMotorsports]

brad attente awesome! Thank you for your business!

[@lickmycrackandsack]

Its one off ebay didt realise u guys had a store as i from Australia

[@bahtiarriffai6505]

I wonder if.anyone have actually weigh the old fender?,how lighter or heavier is it compared to the vagabond fender eliminator?

[@albertoreyes6159]

Porque en mi R3 lo direccionales Led no funcionan?? Se quedan fijos y no parpadean en cambio lo originales si funcionan bien

[@hamengogoi1]

Is there any fender eliminator for R15 v2 that is available in India?

[@gerardorecinos8727]

Is this compatible with Yamaha MT-03?

[@sidharthnair3464]

How much does the tail kit cost.?

[@MarkTubanKaizen]

Hello, i really like this product. i would like to buy one. i am from the Philippines. do you ship orders in our place? Thank you

[@albandonyc4225]

Great video not hard to follow and great details

[@taiphucntp]

How do i buy it? where? Thank you!

[@kevinlambo3211]

is that a custom paint job? It looks amazing

[@johnblake5112]

Raven

[@IcemanSam650]

+Rafy Aqwa factory color option...

[@jdvanegasc]

I wonder if the use of this kit lets the pillion get dirty or not. I mean, that's one of the utility of stock kit. Isn't it?

[@VagabondMotorsports]

jdvanegasc Similar to any fender eliminator, removing the factory rear fender will expose the passenger to spray from the rear wheel. Thanks for your comment!

[@Maxchimera]

Hi... Is this fender eliminator also compatible with Yamaha R25?. Thank You

[@VagabondMotorsports]

Shafiq Mustafa Hi, no it's not. Sorry!

[@Joaquimsimoes26]

Muito bom mas prefiro do jeito que era

[@hannesedelmann9994]

Is the garantuie terminated with installing the fender?

[@VagabondMotorsports]

no, the factory warranty for the motorcycle is not voided by installing the fender eliminator, but you can check with your local dealer for confirmation.

[@saswatsnayak102030]

how do i get this in India why don't you guys ship these products to India

[@jorgehq3181]

Do you send it world wide? mexico to be exact.

[@VagabondMotorsports]

yes we ship to Mexico!

[@2ndchanceinlife]

Me right and left turn signal connectors are not like what you have, its connected in a way that I need special tools to disconnect, and looks like I need to reclamp them in to place... I cannot complete this installation as I don't want to stuff it up. I have the 2017 matte black version.... I wonder why Yamaha makes it hard for me.

[@jeramieagosta]

2ndchanceinlife me also. Did you figure it out?

[@2ndchanceinlife]

yeah. You can pull them apart. To be safe, I used pliers and clamp the metal connectors and pulled them out. Then push them in together to connect it again. I used pliers to connect them together as I didn't want to accidentally pull it out of its solder.

[@louisjack3372]

Hey guys, purchased ur tail kit, Having an issue where my indicator wiring as shown at 3:40 isnt of the same type as yours. Instead of it being a sort of plug and play like yours, its golden and wrapped in another plastic sleeve type thing, how do i disconnect? thanks in advance

[@VagabondMotorsports]

Louis Jack Hi Louis, Please send a picture to [e-mail] and we'll help you through it!

[@bahtiarriffai6505]

I had the same problem,not too big of a deal as it is just need to be pulled out,but do it gently Hope that help,if you haven't got it sorted

[@louisjack3372]

Yeh pulling it out gentley and then reclamping it after re-inserting was easy enough, pretty confusing as to why 2 different connectors were used though haha

[@sujana82]

how about fz 07 installation,what tool i need?cos i just got my vagabond and ready to instal!!!!

[@VagabondMotorsports]

i putu sujana i'm sorry! we no longer have that bike! hopefully you were able to install with ease using the color instructions!

[@sujana82]

Easy to install Took me around 30-45 minutes to install I love it on my fz 07 Great buy Thanks vegabond

[@heythatbikeisprettycool]

Is it legal to do this in California? Thanks

[@Kr0d67]

No

[@batafpv4498]

can i use any shape fender

[@VagabondMotorsports]

it's designed for the 4"x7" plate used in most of the USA but it works for a variety of plate sizes in other countries

[@weidongng6895]

Will this fit on R25? Which is pretty much the same model as the R3 but with less engine power. ( we don't have r3 here in Malaysia :D )

[@weidongng6895]

And do you guys ship international? thanks!

[@faizalliya2256]

Hye..already installed at your r25?please share

[@Cpt.Goose0]

Can anyone confirm if an Ontario (Canada) bike plate will work with this without issue? Looking to buy so I have this delivered before I get the bike.

[@VagabondMotorsports]

we've sold a ton to Ontario Canada with no issues :) Thank you for your post!

[@Cpt.Goose0]

+Vagabond Motorsports Thanks! ordered today, ordered the bike today as well!

[@NikolajA1995]

Who screamed at 14:22? Haha :-) Would this fit with an european license plate? I don't know if the north american plate is the same size.

[@VagabondMotorsports]

+NikolajA1995 Hi, yes this fits with Euro plates. :)

[@NikolajA1995]

+Vagabond Motorsports Thanks for the quick answer. It's a real slick product you made. I'll consider buying it - worst thing is though that I might get snatched in customs and have to pay double the price. So much for a free market. :P

[@brianwit3051]

Great vid, but does anyone know if this voids any warranties?

[@VagabondMotorsports]

***** HI! It would probably be best to ask your dealer if voids any factory warranty.

[@brianwit3051]

Oh ok. Thanks!

[@nmoore6991]

***** i just did one on a 2012 zx10r with about 210 miles on it. did NOT void the warrenty from the dealer

[@brianwit3051]

Nate Moore That is just great to hear, appreciate it man!

[@airplanemechanic9513]

***** No real reason for it to void a warranty. All you're doing is unplugging and replugging in the same stock lights if all you do is add this unit to your bike. No altering of factory wiring is necessary. All you did was remove a big ugly piece of plastic.

[@HairyGrenade]

Is it expensive to pay a shop to do the mod for you?

[@smsr101]

+HairyGrenade they would charge labour, in canada its around $75-$90 an hour

[@lucaluca2805]

Uff

[@fabregas88]

how much cost r3 in their country

[@VagabondMotorsports]

TwoWheels Rider Hi. The cost is 69.99 USD. You can buy on our website www.vagabondmotorsports.com

[@LakeBodomsReaper]

Are these legal in Florida? I've heard they aren't, but can't find any solid proof online.

[@VagabondMotorsports]

+LakeBodomsReaper Hi! You'll probably have to check with your local DMV. I do know we've sold several to the state of Florida, but cannot comment on the legality. Thank you for your comment!

[@LakeBodomsReaper]

Vagabond Motorsports Thanks for the input! I really hope they are legal!

[@Raptor-yt8lr]

+LakeBodomsReaper You are thinking of vertical tags, which has had the questionable areas. I cannot see any reason why this tag holder which is horizontal and does not flip up, hide, hinder, or otherwise make the tag unreadable would be in any violation of florida law. should be good to go, put one on my bike in Florida.

[@miqiee]

This is a great kit and video. Why don't the manufacturers just do this to begin with? Seems like it costs them more to put those monstosoties on the bikes.

[@missaellc1486]

could it ship to Mexico?

[@VagabondMotorsports]
