    Where to buy a fender eliminator or tail tidy?

    Any recommendations for where I could buy a fender eliminator for my monster 696? I have been looking around and most shops are bloody expensive. I tried online from US or UK, but the shipping cost seems horrendous.

    Cheers

    Sounds like you're reluctant to spend any money.

    Make one out of cardboard.

    Design looks like it's a pain in the ass. A guy does cheap ones for jap bikes on Ebay (around the $40-70 mark shipped) but not for the Monster by the looks. (http://www.ebay.com/usr/creese1)
    Maybe ask if he would consider it?

    Otherwise, $240 for an Evotech (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Evotech-Duca...-/291194492921). GL.

    if youre on a budget, fleabay usually produces the most cost effective result.
    Evotech one.

    or you could make one yourself.

    I have an evotech tidy on my Hypermotard. Very well made. Cheaper to buy direct from their website, evotech-performance.com.

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    I checked Ebay for 696 tail tidy and there was a range from $140 to 200 odd. The more expensive ones were R&G Racing from the UK. I have some of their stuff on my bike and found them good to deal with. No tail tidy though.

    Be ware that if you ride in the wet you will get shit all up your back with a tailtidy. Given the design of the tail of a monster I imagine it would be particularly bad.

    You dont need them for a Hornet. Just bolt the plate to the back of the computer box. Sorted.
