I know that I paid a bit over the odds for it but I really like the look of the Japanese supermotos and the new rear mudguard that sticks straight out seems to give it a bit of a different look that I like.

We will see when it turns up as I have no idea what I am going to mount the rear light/ number plate and indicators to when it's fitted.

This is what I am after but mine will have the supermoto Wheels

Ok, ok, Simon! Straight rear fender must have for any fancy/stylish looking bike. ;)

Yup, it's "a bit" pricey, but really priceless for CRM owner.

Gonna order one for myself today.

P.S. Note for all buyers: only fender included, no lamps or signals. I specially checked this with retailer.

Banz,

Which type of brake light/numberplate/indicator unit are you planning on using? I have come across a couple but they have nowhere to mount indicators

all the best

Simon

Actual question. Well, I suppose to use something like this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/230835638032?ss ... 1438.l2649).

Signals, light, brake all in one, the only problem might be with visibility. In this case you can buy only tail/brake light and use some generic turn signals. But you'll need to buy (or even make) harness for all this garland.

Or you can even buy stripe of red leds and stick it on fender. Don't know how is it legit.

As for number plate, personally I'm not interesting in mounting such device, but you can get something like this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLEAR-LED-Turn- ... 47&vxp=mtr) or search for something similar. I bet it's not that difficult to make such plate by yourself.

More important question (for me) how not to drill any more holes in fender for lights mounting. I suggest use original frame mounts instead.

Banz,

Just got my import bill from our wonderful government, had to pay £26.00 tax and also £13.50 clearance fee :OMG which has put the price up somewhat however the fender should be with me tomorrow.

I eventually got hold of a numberplate hanger and rear light unit from Australia which came today.

I have got some indicators from a KTM that are left over from an old project that look like they will do the job so assuming it is going to be raining a lot over the weekend i will have a go at fitting it and see where i go from there.

I will flick up some pictures when i am done.

All tbe best

Simon

wow expensive import fees!

In AUS the import fees are 0$ unless the item is above $1000 declared value!

hope it looks good (so that its worth it haha)

It's arrived and it's white, not black as I ordered...............

Looks like I will have to spray the tank white and change the colour scheme of the bike as its not really an option to send the beggar back.

The joys of fixing a bike up.

Are you sure you ordered black one? What was item number? There is two letters on the end. "WH" for white and "BK" for black. (CJE12WH, CJE12BK)

Courier just brought package at home, while I'm at work. I wonder if they missed color of mine. But I really doubt, they are japanese, after all.

No any taxes for me, but webike will get themselves case, if they missed color.

I advice you to do same, Simon.
