The first mod that many owners of brand-new Japanese streetbikes do is to lob off the rear fender to give the bike a sleek, race look. Ride Engineering has new kits for the Yamaha R1 (pictured) and Suzuki GSX-R1000 to make this modification easier and more professional looking.
Both kits are made from black-anodized aluminum sheet. A two-piece design is used for the R1 turn-signal bracket so that it can be removed if the blinkers are integrated into the taillight. For the GSX-R, the tag mount can be removed for track days.
