Just purchased the TST fender eliminator kit and turn signals for my 2023 and used your videos to install and they really made it a breeze. Love your videos have watched almost all the DRZ videos and they really are great tutorials. You don’t miss anything and explain things very well. Thank you 🙏🏽🤘🏼
This is the kind of comment that keeps me going. I appreciate the kind words. The videos aren’t perfect. But they should be a pretty good indicator of what you’re in for. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it!
@linksgarage1985 ohhhhh man.... i just bought a 2024 drz after selling my cb1000r...... i needed something chill that isn't gonna get me locked up... fun in town bike so far... i mostly just ride to work .. i'm in southern CA.... ride all year in the Coachella valley...
This was the first thing I did to my DRZ when I got it, I also put a turn signal y splitter harness in the back and a set of BL6 turn signals in the rack mount holes in the sub frame and another set of BL6 turn signals in the front. Great Video.
Been watching your drz vids for two years and finally picked one up yesterday! Now I got a whole Playlist to rewatch! Keep up the great work! P.s. if you ever want to get rid of the factory fender and turn signals, I know a guy... me 😁
Is it possible for you to give me a list of the exact same parts that I need to order to complete the rear? There’s a lot of different parts on their website and I just want to know exactly what ones I need to order to get the job done the same way that you did. Thank you for your help.
@@lukeskywalker1840 sure. Although I did add the brake light modulator after and I love it! Full video on channel as well. Their website is really user friendly. Just put in the Suzuki DRZ400SM and all this will pop up. Good luck! 1. TST Smoked rear light. 2. TST low profile LED license plate light. 3. The TST adjustable fender eliminator upgrade kit. 3. The Suzuki 7 pin flasher relay (so it doesn’t flash fast) 4. TST brake light modulator
I got a cheaper kit from Amazon.. it’s not plug and play like your TST. Can I match up the wires and use wire nuts then electric tape? Or heat shrink? Thanks for all of your videos and help.
Just bought a drz that has this kit. I watched the whole video and looks like the installer did it just like you did. However, the left blinker just stays on if you hit the brakes and the right blinker usually just stays on or doesn't work at all. Brake lights and head light work fine. Any suggestions?
Bit late to this video, I have watched a lot of your drz videos, I have a 2023 drz I’ve done the typical, must do mods to it. So I installed my Amazon tail tidy kit and have already deleted my rear bag, other than the lower 10mm nuts are the push pins the only other hardware keeping your rear fender mounted down? Can’t wait for more DRZ videos, you sold on the barkers exhaust
Yep! Just the push pins in the rear fender. Holds it just fine. Doesn’t wobble or rattle. More DRZ vids incoming! And that barkers exhaust is a freaking beast. Wayyyy better than the Delkevic I was running.
Sat on the black one today didn't Wana get off I was looking at a the crf300l but felt more heavy I'm getting that drz I just wish they didn't stop the cool ass graphic designs they did by covy 16

Did you have to use the tail light modulater and the relay for everything to work right or just the relay? It tries to get you to buy both in their package deal
Is the license plate mount part of the kit? My drz had a tree fall on it and Bent the piss out of my bracket. I have tst industries light but my license plate bracket looks nothing like the one on tst industries website.
Got a 2021 drz400 SM. Got frame sliders....but on left side of bike..where slider bolts on theres a part that blocks the slider install. Is it removable or not?
I believe it was just the fender eliminator kit, and the rear license plate light. Great stuff. Just filmed a new video, not up yet.. but it’s if the brake light modulator from TST. It’s a must have as well!
I'm curious if there is a place to mount turn signals like the ones you put on the front with this kit. I would rather have those than the integrated turn signals. I just feel they are easier to tell which side is blinking. I assume if you used them you would just plug them in instead of the ones on the taillight. Looking ahead I plan on doing a lot of the same mods to mine.
Dude,you rock. There are lots and lots of DRZ mod videos out there. But most of them don't do as good a job as you do at explaining and showing the process. You are my go to now that I got a new DRZ. I'm curious as to how this kit has held up since you've put it in. Would you still recommend it?
First of all, thank you!!! And hell yes I would still recommend. I love this kit!!!!! Cleans up the rear so much! Lots of content on the channel. We cover it all. If you need help, let me know!

having issues starting my bike after installing this kit... none the less this tutorial helped me through the installation! Thanks man!
If it won’t start, something has to be unplugged I would think. Let me know what you find!
Bought this kit based on your video... much love bro!....
@@Jdogger1979 hey man. Appreciate you. I crashed this bike a month ago. Like the tail light so much I bought it again to replace the broken one!

That’s awesome man! Congrats on your new purchase! And I keep all my parts. Sorry dude!
It's all good and I'm the same way!
Sick bike bro! You'll love it even more when you do the full exhaust, 3x3 mod, rejet, and air filter!
Thanks! Exhaust on the way!
Appreciate this video. Mine didnt come with any instructions and your video helped heaps.
Heck yea!! Glad to hear it man! Thank you for watching. 💪🏼
Looks really good. Not a purple fan, but looks very sharp. All your mods are stuff I’m now thinking of doing myself. Thanks for the clips!
Thank you! I have about 6 more videos to put out. Stay tuned! I appreciate you watching!
That looks really really nice. I enjoy this video. I wish I had the same mechanical aptitude that you do.

Should be able to maybe h them up. And heat shrink them. Try everything before you heat shrink it! To make sure it works.

God it helped!

You do not need the modulator for it all to work. However, I added the modulator later. I like it.
@linksgarage1985 thank you for getting back to me so fast... I appreciate you and all your content bro... keep up the good work🤘🏻.
@@rickdaniels2837 thanks man! The bike has transformed since this video. Lots of upgrades. Glad to help! 💪🏼
Where do I look up that license plate light part number? And also where did you get those push in taps you put in the tool bag holes?
Plate is in TST website.
Those are just push pins, or Xmas trees. A quick Amazon search will snag you some cheap! Thanks for watching!
Is the license plate mount part of the kit? My drz had a tree fall on it and Bent the piss out of my bracket. I have tst industries light but my license plate bracket looks nothing like the one on tst industries website.
I bought it all as a kit from TST. Added bracket relay and light.
Can’t wait to remove my fender! Nice video bro
Thanks man. I just subbed to your channel today!!!! Putting on new front fender now. Video up soon!
Will I hurt anything if I just let it flash at a faster speed?
Nope. Won’t hurt anything. It will just flash fast.
Got a 2021 drz400 SM. Got frame sliders....but on left side of bike..where slider bolts on theres a part that blocks the slider install. Is it removable or not?
Honestly I’m not sure. Mine didn’t come with them so I don’t really know. Good luck!
Yo gotta link?? And how is it at night an day asking because older people if they can see it ( Turn signals)
I would say it’s brighter! At least the brake and tail light. The turn signal may not be as noticeable. But I’ve had zero issues. At night it’s great!
I like the big old retro stock rear light and signals. But I’m old. 😆
🤣. Yea. They had to go! Lol. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!
Is your license plate bracket adjustable?? Or standard
@@josebenavidez1088 I believe I got the standard
How many thousands of oem tails are sitting in garages all over the world
Tons!
I wonder if this kit will work with the 2023 ?
Is almost bet if will. DRZ hasn’t changed for like 20 years
Did all of that come as a kit, or did you have to purchase them individually? (Relay, front signals, etc.)
All separate. Thanks for watching!
What exactly did you order from them for the video here’? I’d like to do the same. As far as the rear fender stuff.
I believe it was just the fender eliminator kit, and the rear license plate light. Great stuff. Just filmed a new video, not up yet.. but it’s if the brake light modulator from TST. It’s a must have as well!
When are you going to change the exahust system?
Soon amigo. Soon!
Really helpful. Thx!
Thanks for watching!
