DR-Z 400 Fender Eliminator

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

This is a cheap makers alternative to the handful of fender eliminator kits available for the DR-Z 400 e/s/sm. The bracket is designed to fit a cheap generic Chinese 16 LED motorcycle tail light with integrated turn signals widely available on Ebay - I paid $11.43 for the light including tax and shipping. Just search for it, you wont miss it. I designed the bracket as a direct fit to the factory tapped holes on the rear of the sub-frame and the supplied hardware on the light (as seen in pics). I also removed the factory connectors from the stock lighting and soldered them onto the aftermarket tail light making a plug and play light. Note that the factory wiring has a ground wire running to each turn signal and the tail lamp. You only need to use one of these grounds to ground the aftermarket tail light - the rest simply leave open and insulate.
As far as durability goes, this was printed in PETG 100% fill. I bombed down some rough back roads, ran it through some mud, jumped some ditches and pressure sprayed it all down afterwards - it held just fine. There will be more revisions of this to come that handle the stress of cyclical loading even better, but this seems to work as is. Enjoy!
