Hi!

I did see that Pector55 have the Givi mounted along with the FE kit, but I haven't been able to reach him. I left him a PM a couple of days ago. I saw his profile hasn't been active since August so i'm concerned he's gone in hibernation

I wanted to find out if he had a hard time fitting both the Givi and the FE kit since from what I can see they share at least one mounting point...

The Givi mount is not a problem for the FE, as you can see from my avatar. If you can tell me what is your specific worry, I'll try to take a picture for you.

Since this thread is alive again, let me ask you this, I got my FE kit last year and after i installed it, the license plate light stopped working, there were some other people talking about the same problem also, i mean, i dont really care about the license plate light working, but it just bugged me because i did exactly what it said in the instructions and the light went off. U guys have any info on this?

My concern was directed toward the mounting because from what I can see the FE kit and the Givi mount share the same screw holes. It might not be a problem at all, but often it causes the need for some modifications and I'd really like to avoid that=)

I had the same thing happen. I'd REALLY like to buy one of these also. I've sent 2 messages to the SBN administrator but haven't heard anything yet.

Thanks a ton. I was almost ready to jump on Solidworks and design my
own. I just bought one. Once again, thanks.

They only ship to US and Canada as I can see. The FE Kit is also sold through the Sportbikes store, but registration is not possible due to the 1000 character minimum for the email address and sending email to the "contact us" link has been non responsive. So for now it looks like the FE kit will not be happening for my part at least

I actually purchased the kit through the SBN store. The 1000 character error is because your email and password are the same as your SBN email and password.

I've ordered the part and it says that it is "processing." I can't a response from anyone. I feel like I've been scammed here. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

MJ

Are you still waiting for your order? I was thinking about trying to buy from the SBN store using a different email and password, but if you are having trouble getting the product I'm not going to order naturally...

Please let me know.

Thanks

You guys should consider my method.

Costs about $10 or less and you will love the results:

That's a really nice setup, however I don't have much equipment here to make stuff and I don't even have a garage to work in with my bike so therefore i'm looking to get a simple finished product to mount. Btw. it rains a lot here too

Nope, I got it in a reasonable amount of time. The guy who handles the order was on vacation.

I ordered the FZR6 fender eliminator from ebay a week ago and haven't heard or seen anything yet. I'm starting to worry. Payment sent via paypal but no confirmation as to order status. Sent an email but no response. I'm a little pissed off here. A simple acknowledgment would be nice. Guess I'm screwed. Any other kits out there I should look at?

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I ordered mine from Ebay as well and had one for my 1st FZ6 I had and n problems getting them. Now if it was going towards 3 weeks I would start getting worried a little but the reputation is excellent so hang on.

I'm telling you, there is NO reason to pay someone for a FE kit when you can make one that looks excellent with nothing but a pair of wire cutters and some creativity.

Para, who needs wire cutters when you have a fab shop at your disposal? lol Seriously though, some I guess want direct interchange like I did. I just happen to have some free time and a few saws and welders at work lol.

Well yeah, I make knives, so I have all the tools for a project like this.

However, I was just saying that with only a pair of wire cutters and pliers (and a drill) you can make a good FE bracket that solves this problem.
