After seeing the many different modifications or custom Fender Eliminators others have done and contributed to this forum, I would like to add my finished product to the list.
In fear of being excommunicated by some riders in my area, I need to dump the stock tow anchor.:justkidding:
I started drawing and measuring the dimensions. I took the file to a local Water-jet engineering company and was given a nice piece of aluminum…
I happily ran to the body shop to start bending it… using a standard brake I realized not all aluminum is the same; while bending the piece it snapped. Welding was not an option.
More Research…
With the help of some very nice friends, a stainless steel and a more bendable aluminum version was made and bent. While I’m able to bend the aluminum with a little force, the SS was solid to the touch.
I added a little color…
A mock up and assembly was in order…
I like it…now the finish product.
Since making this FE, I have designed a new one which would incorporate aftermarket lights; I’m just stuck on manufacturing the LED boards.
Thanks for viewing, hope you like it.
