KPM200 Rear fender delete
Wrapped this up over the weekend and figured I'd share some pics. The light is a Custom Dynamics LED TruFlex Light Bar. It's not as bright as I'd hoped but I also installed a brake light modulator so hopefully that makes up for it a bit. I made the bracket out of some spare sheet metal. I don't know what I think about it yet, maybe the lines throw the geometry off a bit or something. I was hoping the light would be able to curve with the curve of the seat but it wouldn't bend that way. It's growing on me though. At least that big plastic thing is gone.

Looks great, especially with that additional fender down low!

I'm old school. I like the look of the fender delete allot, but I never like the look of the second low fender on a motorcycle. They mess up the smooth lines of the rear (to me). But beauty can be subjective.

I kind of agree with you Tx. I was already paying shipping from china for the engine guards so I threw in the plate holder. It's a bit bulky and doesn't have a light so it's legally questionable. Not sure where else I can put the plate for now, maybe a vertical side mount on the axel or something.

Mind if I ask where you ordered them from and what the cost was with shipping?

They were from yoycart. I did a quick search and didn't see them listed there anymore but shipping was a little over 200 dollars and I think the guards themselves were around 35. A bit crazy but the only other engine guards I could find were from a ukrainian ebay seller for around 150 + 30 shipping and at least the yoycart ones were lifan branded so I didn't have to worry about fitment. Once you get passed the shipping everything else there is dirt cheap.
