【ACTIVE】Fender Eliminator Kit Review
For the Tire replacement!
ZX-6R (2016) I've installed it on!
The reason for this is because I started competing in Race classes with numbers and the frequency of tire changes went up and I got tired of the OEM Fender getting in the way every time lol.
The replacement process was almost effortless, and even I, who had never even removed a RearCowl before, was able to finish the job in about 2 hours!
There are many Reviews on the look and feel of this site, so the required tools and OEMFender removal instructions that are not in the Instruction Manual. (Not surprisingly, it's not listed anywhere) I'm going to write briefly about what I wanted to know before I bought it, OthersSmall stuff, etc.

Cowl is connected by a lot of nails, so please be careful not to break it.

The removal and installation of the Blinker is the most difficult part.
The way to remove it is simple enough to see, but it's hard anyway!
(It took me a little over an hour of my two hours to do this).
It is easy to remove by twisting after removing the two gold plates.
The installation is something of a spirit, good luck!
Electric Works Pliers is required to make a connector for License Plate Light.
(Because of the crimped terminals)
If you don't have one, please cut off the OEM connector part and connect it using the included Electro Tap.
Electro Tap is not very durable, so buy or borrow some Electric Works Pliers and make a Connector somehow!
that's all
I hope that helps in some way!

Easy to install, but ???.
Installation is easy, and the design fits well with the car body without any discomfort. However, I think that the reflector should be included from the beginning since ACTIVE also manufactures a reflector. View detail
It'll be cool!
I installed it for its appearance!
I am satisfied with the style and the large size!
But the removal of the OEMBlinker is Large strange!
I warmed up the rubber part with a dryer and removed it by prying with a slotted screwdriver.
Note that Blinker is also thin and easily broken!
Reflector is sold separately!

It was not good.
The product is good, but the Instruction Manual is not beginner friendly.
Also, the screws in the "Included Parts:" were different from those in the Instruction Manual, and some were missing, making installation quite difficult.

Stylish finish
I have purchased Active's Fender Eliminator Kit for every car model so far, so I chose this one again.
Installation requires touching Blinker's Wiring, so if you want to install it yourself, you will need to have at least a minimal knowledge of this area.
The product itself is solid and I have no complaints about its accuracy.
The only thing I would say is that Reflector is a security component and should be included in the package.

When in doubt, this is the one. I'm glad I did.
[How is it used?
Duration:from about April 29, 2017 to as of September 10, 2023. Only the Blinker Bracket was removed at some Timing
Distance:approx. 68,197 km
Combination items:ACTIVE Reflector Kit Slim, POSH Faith Aluminum License Plate L Size, CF POSH SUS Number Plate Fixing Torx Taper Bolt & Nut Set
Was the one you received as per Image?
The product is exactly as pictured in the Image.
Was the installation difficult?
I think it was troublesome because I didn't know how to remove the cowl at all just after I switched to a new car. Furthermore, it is necessary to remove the seat and tail cowl, not the front part of the vehicle including the SIDE, which is usually removed for maintenance, so even now that I am used to it, I think it is still troublesome. Except for the removal of the cowl, the installation itself is not difficult.
How was your experience with it?
The installation of the Tandem seat naturally causes mud splashes to hit the Tandem seat, which is a cause for apology.
Since the most protruding part is the Tire or Tail cowl, the distance that can be retreated back is slightly increased for the same Space.
Since the Number is placed far forward, and the upper part of the Number is unguarded except for the bracket, the possibility of bending of the lower part of the Number due to a side bag or accidental human impact is increased.
Since all parts are RoseRose, OEM blinkers can be implanted in the beginning, and later, when blinkers are replaced, only the relevant parts can be targeted and removed, creating a clean look at all times.
Note that the Reflector, which must be used in conjunction with the Reflector, is not included in the package.
Probably sturdy, as it has not broken even with the aluminum plate, different bracket and blinker that are not included in the package.
The LED License Plate Lamp is also still reliable, as all four are still building materials.
The vehicle has been inspected as is, so it probably passed. (Vehicle purchased before the revision of the standards)
[Included Parts:were they on?
As shown in the product image.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
I guess there isn't because there is nothing to be concerned about.
Conformity of License Plate with revised standards
Before revision Being able to read." It is not clear whether the safety standard is met for vehicles with clearly defined angles after the revision, since it has been in use since the time of the
This is a standard item that can be found at most Large Mortgage Motorcycle stores, and many riders have probably used it. It is a recommended product that can stand up to the mud and the mileage.
Since the revised criteria are unknown, the risk of BonusPoints being added when caught in some cases should be considered.
