Just installed mine, great product, much nicer in person, great quality and perfect fit. I will say this though, getting the unit installed up into the bike requires a shocking amount of dexterity and patience. I felt like a crow being made to solve one of those experiments to get a treat. So if you're clumsy, get a friend to help!
I knew even before I got my 17 SV650 that a fender eliminator was going to be one of the first mods. I saw a few other options. Some cheaper, some costing more but after I watched this full install video for the Vagabond I knew it was the one. The install was pretty easy. I just set up my phone to watch the video as I did the install step by step. It came out great. I really like how it comes with everything you need, and if you use your stock turn signals there is no splicing required. All the wiring is nice and tucked away. Very clean overall look, and really improves the look. Great jog Vagabond.
Hey! I Got the shipment and installed the kit today. Took me about 45 minutes. Hardest part was putting all wires through the small grommet but this video was very helpful. Perfect fit and high quality finish! Can't wait for other accessories by Vagabond!
Just placed my order after watching this video a few times. So happy to see the free/expedited shipping! Can't wait to put this on and make my bike look even better than it already does. Thanks you guys!
This video sold me on buying this fender eliminator kit. Good video, very detailed. Install was easy like 35 to 40 minutes it took me. They shipped to me quickly and my bike looks great. Quite satisfied. My favorite thing about this kit is you get to reuse the stock license plate light and the rubber grommet. Don't know why but the rubber grommet was oddly satisfying to reuse and it fit flush in the rectangle hole as it should. Plug and play with no wire splicing was a great bonus. Thanks.
I found this kit purely by accident. I like that it reuses all the factory grommets and lights, and there are no splicing wires required. It's just the attention to detail and a nice design! I ordered it from USA to Europe. Had to pay like 30 euros for taxes and important duties, but it was worth it for the quality part. Very fast shipping too! I did use the stock self tapping screws though, didn't see the need to use the ones in the kit. Also didn't use the small locking washers, because they always damage the surface. I just used bigger normal washers so as to not damage the surface and just to look a lot better and to spread load to a bigger surface in my opinion. I'm all for the OEM+ look so that's why I went for this set, it really is worth the money! As for the license plate, because of the size of the plates here, I had to remove the rubber bumpers and use those two holes for fasting in combination to the upper slots. It's secured nicely with 4 bolts and washers now and not going anywhere.
I usually never post comments on UA-cam or write product reviews, but I was oh so very pleased with this product. I was looking at a few fender eliminator kits for my new sv650. I didn't like the small, tacky looking LEDs on some of the competitor's offerings, and plus they were more expensive. I liked how this system utilizes the OEM turn signals and license plate light. Good price too. Also, their brand name isn't on the product, which is awesome. I don't care to have my bike be a rolling advertisement. Item shipped quickly. Installation was rather easy, even with only using the Allen wrench supplied in the bikes tool kit. Threading the last wire through the rubber grommet and getting the last spacer on was the hardest part, and it was relatively easy. I just used a flat head screw driver to gently push the last wire through the OEM rubber grommet while pulling the other two to the side, and for installing the last spacer, I just used a pair of needle nose pliers to hold it above the screw hole between the mount and tail while guiding the screw up towards the mounting hole using the Allen wrench. If that makes any sense. The short Allen wrench made it a bit of a pain to tighten the two frame screws closest to the license plate because of the close proximity of the turn signal wires. For mounting it to my bike, I didn't do two screws at a time like described in this video. I just loosely installed one at a time to leave as much space as possible to get the other spacers in there. It was easy. The whole installation took maybe twenty minutes, max. Fit and finish of this product is beyond satisfactory, and if something for some reason happened to this one, I would buy another without hesitation. It feels very sturdy on the bike, only thing I've considered is maybe taking it off again and applying some blue loctite. But after putting 50 or so miles on it since installing it yesterday, everything is still very sturdy. I'm a 10/10 satisfied customer. No regrets.
This company is awesome! Super fast shipping, excellent email communication after the online order. This video was an awesome reference for install. The fender eliminator fit and finish is amazing, looks like it came from the factory. I'm hoping you guys can come out with some frame sliders in the near future! Matt W. 2017 SV650
very nice. I would like to see an integrated tail light in combination with this product. with either plugs for holes left by the factory turn signals, or maybe like a small reflector
Great product guys. Well designed. You just need three hands when trying to keep spacers in place before final bolt up under sub frame. Perhaps it would help if the 4 spacers were swaged into mount holes. Otherwise sweet.
This isn't related to the video but are there 4 nylon loops underneath the passenger seat to attach a tail pack sitting on top of the seat? Will you also be selling an integrated turn signal kit? Thanks.
Eh, too bad in Poland we can't do that, from what I know the reflective light you removed with the fender is actually required (red, reflective light in a shape other than a triangle).
For the part where you are pushing the wires through the gromit (cant spell X3) Would it be better to use needle nose plyers (cant spell that either >~
As long as you are careful needle nose pliers can help but you definitely don't want to damage the connector. The video makes the process seem more difficult than it really is, it's easy enough without tools in reality
you finally end up with the rear light, licence plate, licence plate light and winkers all in the mud coming from the rear wheel. + The shit goes right to the rear box if you happen to have one attached. To me a pointless mod. The rear lights wobble for purpose - the motorcycle wobble so any time a light is equipped with a standard bulb this solution helps prevent it from damaging - the same solution on old Yamaha Teneres.

Super glue the sleeves into the proper place and be done with it. 14:46

Just installed my fender eliminator today. Took about 30 mins ...used this video step by step along the way. A++ on how the end product looks
Just installed mine; looks fantastic and is really well made. Instructions were clear and install took less than an hour. I love it!!

Buying a new Sv, immediately went looking for a fender eliminator. Ordering this as soon as the bike gets home.
Vagabond+ Just received this kit for my SV650. Thanks to this video and the design, the install went smooth. Looks great.
Thank you!!

Great clean, efficient looking eliminator kit. Just placed my order. Thanks for the video!
Wonderful kit! Super easy to install and no cutting or splicing required on the OEM wires. Fitment looks like it came off the Suzuki assembly line.
Just placed my order, nice design and looks clean.Thanks for the install video, hope you guys are working on more other cool things for the SV650.
Was thinking of buying Yoshimura's...glad found this video instead. Just installed mine on 2020 SV650ABS
Great product, and barely more than half as expensive as the name brands. Keep it coming VM!
Just got mine in and it was a breeze to install. Highly recommend!
Just bought one. This video is fantastic and sold me on yours versus others. Well done sir.
thank you!
How much distance is between the indicators?
Great video that made installation so much easier. Thanks. 👍👍
Great instructional video and awesome product. I couldn't be happier with my new Vagabond fender eliminator.
very nice. I would like to see an integrated tail light in combination with this product. with either plugs for holes left by the factory turn signals, or maybe like a small reflector
Thanks a lot for the video. Just installed it and I’m very happy with how it came out.
The video convinced me to buy and can I thank Andrea for the assistance given
super helpful video! It made installation very quick and easy, plus not a single curse : )
Hello. I have a question for you if you can answer. Can you put pillion handles on this motorcycle? And if yes which ones?
Great product guys. Well designed. You just need three hands when trying to keep spacers in place before final bolt up under sub frame. Perhaps it would help if the 4 spacers were swaged into mount holes. Otherwise sweet.
Just ordered one, loved the ease of installation! Do you guys have any plans for other parts such as frame-sliders, windshield visor or belly pan?
hi! frame sliders are in the works :)
Thank you I can't wait!
Just ordered one, looks good quality
Would this fit for a sv650x 2018?
This isn't related to the video but are there 4 nylon loops underneath the passenger seat to attach a tail pack sitting on top of the seat? Will you also be selling an integrated turn signal kit? Thanks.
Just got installing this, kinda tricky when you have big hands. The most tricky bit was getting the bolts up into the underside
just placed my order, thanks!
awesome! Thank you for your business!
thanks for the great vid. saved to favs so I can install when it arrives
I'm ordering one now. looks mint! 👌
hey. is there one for the 2016 model?
thanks in advance
this fender eliminator is homologed for spain?
Nice video. I'll be getting this one soon. Thank you!
Look like a high quality kit...
Boa tarde, não enviam para o Brasil?
So far you didn't have to cut anything. That's why I'm recommending.
Try using a little bit of tape to hold the screws in while you feed the wires through and get the screws started. It might help a little bit.
Excellent as always !!
I just bought a 2018 SV650, will this kit works for that 2018? It looks really good... :-)
Fernando Sestini yes! It fits the 2018!
I hope so because I have done the same. Ive got the kit before the bike
Does someone from Canada bought it?
Thinking about ordering one for my 2019 Suzuki SB650X ABS is it made of metal or plastic
metal. looks like it is well made with no sharp edges.
Eh, too bad in Poland we can't do that, from what I know the reflective light you removed with the fender is actually required (red, reflective light in a shape other than a triangle).

Vagabond Motorsports Alright thank you
Do you ship to europe?
Those 4 alloy spacers should really be welded to the bracket and it needs somewhere to fit a reflector, I think then it would be much better.
Do you guys ship to germany?
We do ship to Germany. You can purchase on our website or ebay :) Thank you!!!
Awesome, let's see how quickly it gets here :)
10mm socket? Ohhh i lost that one
