Hi,
Has anyone tried any of the fender eliminators out there?
I'd love to see pictures of the result!

Oddly, this weekend I was wondering how to increase the coverage of my rear fender, especially the size of the tire "hugger" in order to keep water and debris off of the controller and to better control the spray thrown off of the rear of the bike.

Ah, this is a constant battle with any motorcycle.

There are always riders that want nothing back there to clutter up the looks.   Others want a Kenworth Mudflap.

The 2012 Zeros had a big old drop down fender that kept the mud off your back but was ugly and probably dragged a lot of air as well.   2013+ models went with a lot less fender in the back which looks cleaner and is more aerodynamic but does little to keep mud and water from flinging up to the back of the bike and rider.

And so it goes.......

GNU, we live in the same city and I want more fender to keep the dirt from the road off of my bike's tail. It was a big step up when I installed the top case bracket, because it keeps the muddy water off of the back of my jacket. :O

Unfortunately the big/ugly 2012 fender was not really protective

There was once a thread of this things - has someone found anything for Zeros?

Some kind of extended hugger might work without looking too bulky...

I feel sorry for European rides with those billboard license plates.

I don't have a good photo but all I had to do on the FX was mount the plate higher by using the two bottom bolts in the plate instead of the top two.  I put a little kink in the plate to make it fit well and it's tucked away nicely.  I think a small superfluous bit of my fender had already broken off by that point so nothing really extends below the plate at all.
