  • So in today's motovlog I'm gonna show you guys a really cheap homemade Husqvarna 701 Supermoto fender eliminator. Some of the pre-built ones you can buy are upwards to $300, which is just ridiculous for how easy it is to do it yourself for pocket change.

    Thanks for sharing - I was just about to buy a fender eliminator but watching your video saved me around $170. I basically did the same thing you did and it worked out great.

      +Dave Troughton Awesome to hear man. I figured any money saved on stuff like this means more cash to spend on other stuff like exhaust and crash protection.

    You used a masonry drill bit 😂

      +Nick Ellis Ha my friend said the same, I was like I thought all drill bits were the same....😂😂😂 fail on my part.

    I'm also thinking about drilling two holes in the fender to mount the light. I think it would look ok with the black screws that hold the light.

    r&g make a killing on their tail tidys and its always out of stock or you have to order from europe and wait ages to get it, i found a cheap 30 dollar one on ebay that comes with a cheapo tail light but then i went to chaparall and bought the DRC tail light its the same one crashking from supermofools used on his 690 recently it looks like it was meant to be there

    Awesome video bud. I’m about to do the same to my 23. I’m surprised that saw made it that long!

    It should be a crime to put such an ugly piece of junk on such a purely beautiful work of art, But really though, who wants to spend a couple hundred bucks for a kit when you can do the job yourself for pennies.

      I would pay the money for one if they kept the nice big tail light. I've only seen two kits, one with a tiny LED strip that includes blinkers / illegal plate position for CA, and another with an ugly red tail light. Your way is the best bet so far.

    • @MotardSteve

      Billy McKee Yeah the bikelitez one is stupid looking and the R&G one isn't much better. plus they are both upwards of $200

    Good common sense video, I did similar with my 701 Enduro. Useless tail tidy savings applied to Rottweiler goodies (O2 sensor dongle, canister and SAS deletes). The engine is far less covered in hoses now and it's ass no longer looks like ass - LOL

    Instead of drilling a big hole for the wires, I'm thinking about making a groove at the top to put the wires through. I think the wires would be more snug and less water can get through.

    • @MotardSteve
      @MotardSteve  5 лет назад

      Yeah that would work too. I didn't think much of that but I doubt either way you'll have an issue with water getting in

    Hey Steve I'd recommend cutting out a piece of Lexan or some kind of backing plate for your plate, adds a lot of strength and my plate hasn't had any problems whatsoever.

    • @MotardSteve
      @MotardSteve  7 лет назад +1

      +iAmWIRide I may do that because when I looped the plate got trashed pretty bad, but I was able to hammer it out flat again luckily.

  • @speezy1414
    @speezy1414 6 лет назад +1

    Nicely done gonna do the same to mine

    • @MotardSteve
      @MotardSteve  6 лет назад +1

      +MotoSteve it's still holding strong too. Even after looping the bike a week after doing it. 😂

  • @TheStarkBiker
    @TheStarkBiker 7 лет назад +2

    crazy how diffrent the lights are from the europian ones.. a lot smaller than yours.
    well done tbh with the fender!! :D

    • @MotardSteve
      @MotardSteve  7 лет назад +1

      +Stark Biker Yeah I wish we had the tiny square tail light on ours here and the led signals. I guess one plus is we dont have the giant square license plates here. Haha. Thanks man. I think it turned out pretty good.

    • @exnihilo415
      @exnihilo415 7 лет назад +1

      This is the kit you want to buy if you want to do the usa blub to euro led conversion. Worked great on my 701.

      @TheStarkBiker 7 лет назад

      MotardSteve True! our plates are so huge and ugly.. like 5 year ago it was even smaller than yours an de now twice as big.. 😂 hahaaa

  • @motohikinbc9641
    @motohikinbc9641 7 лет назад +1

    Great mod! Funny you kept the plate covered during install then let her rip, hehe

    • @MotardSteve
      @MotardSteve  7 лет назад

      +MotoHikin'BC Yeah idk my brain had a weird moment with that. Covered it then was like "who cares" not like anyone can really do anything with the information.

    @dominicthorburn6922 4 года назад +1

    The reason you struggled drilling the fender is because you were using a masonary bit ...

    • @MotardSteve
      @MotardSteve  4 года назад

      Lol yeah my dumbass found that out after the fact 😂

  • @JeBehaardeOma
    @JeBehaardeOma 6 лет назад +1

    You do know the drill your using is for Walls and stone materiaal right ??? Haha anyway like your vids about the 701 !! Keep it up

    • @MotardSteve
      @MotardSteve  6 лет назад

      +JeBehaardeOma Haha yeah my buddy pointed that out instantly lolol. I got Masonry bits. I was clueless 😂

    • @MotardSteve
      @MotardSteve  7 лет назад

      +Izreal 3345 Thanks man. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

    • @Izreal3345
      @Izreal3345 7 лет назад +1

      Looks like some shit I would do instead of buying a $300 part

    • @MotardSteve
      @MotardSteve  7 лет назад

      Izreal 3345 Gotta save that green, especially when the exhaust I'm looking at is $563 but it's one of them fancy SC Project ones. 😎

  • @hrbestalkinme3690
    @hrbestalkinme3690 6 лет назад

    I purposefully run my plate connected loosely with zip ties and only at the top two mounting holes. That way it flaps in the wind and exhaust vibrations, and cops can't read it. If they run my plate, they will see that i only have my temps and should not be riding at night. Also, it keeps that shit from snapping off when I scrape fender

  • @KeepOnJeepinOn
    @KeepOnJeepinOn 7 лет назад +1

    Must be the hardest plastic ever lol. They're really getting their money with those $300 ones, I think my DRZ cost maybe $100. The bracket was 40 of that too

    • @MotardSteve
      @MotardSteve  7 лет назад

      +MotoJeeper Yeah I looked it up again and it's closer to 200 but still, this cost me $30 bucks and that's only because I had to buy a drill and stuff.

    • @KeepOnJeepinOn
      @KeepOnJeepinOn 7 лет назад

      yeah it's always better to do it yourself lol people always like my skateboard wheel sliders

    • @MotardSteve
      @MotardSteve  7 лет назад

      MotoJeeper Yeah I gotta get some of those DIY skateboard sliders as well.

    My fender eliminator kit: satellite dish brackets. Most of the holes lined up perfectly.

    so much effort to block ur plate just to show it lol

    • @MotardSteve

      +chinn choppa what can I say. I realised hiding it was stupid in the first place.

  • @speezy1414
    @speezy1414 6 лет назад

    you literally skipped the hardest step..putting on that damn rear fender piece

    • @MotardSteve
      @MotardSteve  6 лет назад

      +MotoSteve it's not super hard, just gotta get it on there right. Once you're used to it, it's not bad

    • @speezy1414
      @speezy1414 6 лет назад

      And how did you put the rear bolts in above brake light

    • @MotardSteve
      @MotardSteve  6 лет назад

      +MotoSteve To be honest. I don't think I did. I'd have to look
