3.3. Installation Steps

1. Preparation: Place the motorcycle on a suitable stand. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Remove the rider and passenger seats to access the rear wiring and fender mounting points.
2. Remove OEM Fender: Carefully disconnect the wiring for the OEM license plate light and turn signals. Unbolt and remove the factory fender assembly from the motorcycle. Retain any OEM hardware that may be reused.
3. Assemble Fender Eliminator: Attach the supplied license plate light to the main fender eliminator bracket using the provided hardware. If your kit includes indicator mounts, secure them to the main bracket.
4. Mount Fender Eliminator: Position the Evotech Performance fender eliminator bracket onto the motorcycle's subframe mounting points. Secure it using the supplied hardware. Apply a medium-strength thread-locking compound to all bolts before tightening.
5. Wiring: Connect the new license plate light and your existing turn signals (or new aftermarket signals) to the motorcycle's wiring harness. Ensure correct polarity. Use the supplied connectors or solder and heat shrink for a secure, weather-resistant connection. Route all wiring neatly and secure with cable ties to prevent chafing or interference.
6. Install License Plate: Attach your license plate to the fender eliminator bracket using appropriate fasteners.
7. Final Checks: Reconnect the battery's negative terminal. Test the license plate light and turn signals to ensure they function correctly. Verify all fasteners are tight and secure. Reinstall seats.

4. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Evotech Performance Fender Eliminator Kit operates passively. Its primary function is to securely hold your license plate and provide illumination. Ensure your license plate is always clean and clearly visible, especially at night, to comply with local regulations.

• Visibility: Regularly check that your license plate is not obstructed by luggage or other accessories.
• Lighting: Periodically verify that the license plate light is functioning correctly.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and proper function of your fender eliminator kit.

• Cleaning: Clean the fender eliminator and license plate regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Fastener Checks: Periodically inspect all mounting bolts and screws for tightness. Vibrations from riding can cause fasteners to loosen over time. Retighten as necessary, applying thread-locking compound if a fastener repeatedly loosens.
• Wiring Inspection: Check wiring connections for any signs of wear, fraying, or corrosion. Ensure all connections remain secure and waterproof.
