The Yamaha Road Star Warrior Forum

Tonight I hit some bumps goin pretty fast and my OEM rear license plate holder chop job bit the dust.  Got sucked up under the fender by my tire.  So which fender eliminator is the best for an integrated taillight setup, Yamaha or Baron's?  I don't mind cutting, drilling, or grinding.  I just want the license angled up so it won't get munched by my tire again.  I found the Yamaha one for quite a cheaper so I'd be psyched if that one is better.  thanks.

The Yamaha IFEK fits perfectly with the stock taillight and all the factory hardware. Mine has served me well even with the 240 phat tire!

Thanks Alan.  By all the factory hardware, do you mean stock directionals?  I just have to cut off those tabs when using with an integrated taillight, right? 

Many of us, myself included, just install the top half of the Yami kit and blow-off the license plate reflector and light because the tail light illuminates the plate.  This also moves the  plate to the very top right under the tail light.  The signal mounts are conveniently located on this part of the kit in case you use stand-alone signals.  They can be cut off but I used mine to mount two small white LED's on the sides that glow red when riding. Just because it looks cool.

There are other products on the market for the Warrior that will compromise the installation and some have even led to dimpled fenders on the side mounting bolts.

No, i understood out of the gate that you were going to cut-off the turn signal tabs and go with an integrated taillight. There is OEM anti vibration hardware (rubber bushings and brass flange spacers) to mount the taillight and the black plastic surround as well as a couple of tinnerman clips and the fender mounting screws/nuts that will fit perfectly with the Yamaha IFEK.

WOW.  Check out the clean wiring...you'd laugh if you saw what I have going on back there.  Looks like a bomb went off.
