Hey TST Industries, I want you guys to know that you guys making these how-to videos is actually a huge boost to sales. Making good quality parts and then telling us how to put them on is a solid marketing strategy, and is going to work on me yet again. You need to go ahead and slip a small bonus into the guy's check next week who came up with this idea
Hmmm...Thanks. Bart is the one that started to produce videos solo back in the day when he and his wife were the only people in the company. We were trying to get away from using printed instructions because you just cannot convey the detail and also special tips on paper. It ended up helping to market the parts and that was a plus. The main benefit really is that people who buy our parts don't have to ride to a shop, get a ride to pick them up, pay for installation, then do the ride to shop for pickup shlep. That is just such a barrier to certain parts. Since inception of this company we have strived for installation ease to be part of the product, and rolling out with these videos has helped us achieve that.
@TSTindustries I got my fender eliminator kit in the mail today and installed it following your instructions. The finished product looks great. Thanks for the top tier customer service, I will make sure to recommend you.
I would like to see an aftermarket shroud to wrap around the exhaust, somewhat how the OEM fender did. To me the exhaust just looks bare and unfinished in this state.
The tail light that we designed, developed, and produce for these bikes. We actually make a non integrated, standard integrated, and programmable in smoked and clear lens. Have a look tstindustries.com/tst-led-in-tail-integrated-tail-light-cbr600rr-2007-2012.html
Just installed this from you guys. Not your fault but it ended up costing me another $20 since the second I attempted to loosen the bolts on servo case they were so seized they cracked the case. I zip tied it back in like a neurosurgeon and it'll work until my new case arrives.
This happened to me too. I think holding the case from underneath solid at the mounting points and slowly loosening the bolts would prevent this from happening. also not too tight when putting the case back on. The case isnt well made
We do not have a list for you. If you have a typical metric socket set, open ended set, and allen wrench set, a drill with a 1/4" or 6mm bit then you will have everything you need.
Hello, I just received the license plate bracket. I am starting the installation BUT I do not see a servo case and there are no instructions on where to go from here. I have an 06 CBR 600 RR which I believe should be compatible.
i got the kit from a friend who didnt end up installing it on their bike, but they lost the template for the servo box drilling, where could i find a pdf of this to print my own?
You can contact our customer service with a proof of purchase. The instructions and template are part of the product we provide. There are chump copycats out there that just copy put parts so we donnot provide templates beyond what comes with the purchased parts.
If there is no physical contact then the radiant and convective heat should not affect number plate. We have sold thousands of these mounts since 2003 and haven't had that issue. As far as fit goes, that's going to have to be up to you. EU plates are huge, and some other areas in the world also use big plates. Those are tough to position right on these mounts.
I was worried about the plate light being too close to the heat of the muffler on my '09 cbr600rr. I ended up mounting the bracket under the fuse box. It's not quite centered side to side but it still looks good, and the light is farther away from the muffler. I suppose you could put the light at the bottom of the plate shining upward, but because of the angle of the plate a lot of light would be shining towards the rear of the bike.
We have been mounting our license plate lights in this location without any trouble for years. We have sold thousands of these setups and all customers mounted their license mount and plate light in this same way. Nobody has ever had problems with this configuration.
At 5:18 when removing the bolt and holding the serbo case. The case seem to not want to get off as if it was stuck to the wires you can see at 5:18. Do you know what im doing wrong? I cant seem to finish the installation since i cant even remove it!
There are two screws there that you need to remove before trying to get the case out. If you did remove both of those screws then maybe something spilled there in the past that was sticky and is holding it together. These bikes used the same setup for the servo from 2007 to now and I did a lot of these installations never having them stuck together.
I bought this for my 09 cbr 600 rr . It looks great but it's rubbing my back tire. My bike was lowered before I bought it . If I raise the suspension up will it stop the plate from rubbing the tire ?
This system was designed for 600RRs with unaltered, or minimally altered ride height. It works well in most setups, but if the bike is lowered too much then you don't have enough space where the bracket mounts and that will result in your license plate rubbing. If you return the bike to stock height you will not have a problem. This is of course contingent upon the bracket itself being installed as per instructions.
We did remove the heatshield for our application. We produce and sell a tail light that fits in the tail and has the signals built in, and also has programmable light patterns. That is what we used for indicators.
When I purchased it the source was Husky tools but they have discontinued it. You can still get the same tool but with a yellow handle from Stanley tools.
can i find this kind of bracket in ebay somewhere?Cause i live in greece and i think that the shipping costs will be way to high if i buy this from america directly,and its the perfect fender eliminator for cbr 600 rr ...
This fender eliminator is an exclusive TST Industries part. The guy in the video is the original designer. Even if you buy that part on Ebay it will be from our Ebay store, which ships from the same warehouse as our website. The upside to buying directly from our website is that you get a better price.
Hey do you guys have another license plate mount that would wrap around the exhaust or further out of the exhaust that’s leveled because I tried this I’m afraid I’ll get pulled over for the lack of visibility on the license plate. If you guys do have something like such plz reply that way I can look into it and maybe purchase one because I’m in need.
Anthony DeVita we don't but the installation on that gen 1000 follows the same procedure as 03-06 600. Here is that video and I'm confident it will get you 95% of the way czcams.com/video/Z7UnM3VywnU/video.html
Don Chong You can mock up the position that you want your bracket to be in using tape, mark where the holes will fall in that position and then drill the servo tray.
In most states and all of Canada, it is illegal to mount your license plate in a location, or at an angle, which prevents traffic cams from reading it properly. And it is illegal to have a rear mounted plate without a white light of illumination. (it can be incandescent or LED, but not any color)
We designed a taillight unit that fits in the tail fairing and has the signals integrated into it. You can see that install video here: czcams.com/video/mAXPunV_UxU/video.html
kjacobson351 This is an installation instruction video for the license plate bracket only. The end of the video has a link to the installation video for an in-tail tail light. We offer two different kits for rear lighting on this bike model. 1. Signals integrated into the taillight (see install video here: czcams.com/video/mAXPunV_UxU/video.html ). 2. Tail lamp has running light and brake light, with external signals (see video here: czcams.com/video/uLt7kem-Z_E/video.html ). We highly recommend watching the entire video and following the narrative to get the entire context.
if you send us the measurements we can see how that works out. We actually sold many of these to Europe over the years and nobody raised an issue. I don't know for sure if this is because they custom fit their plate onto the bracket or maybe it fit as is. I will be in Europe all this coming week so maybe I can get a license plate sample to take back with me to be able to answer these questions in the future.
Hello TST industries! Do you guys know if these are the same steps to install on a 2017 CBR 600RR? (exhaust install, intergrated tail light, and fender eliminator? Any help appreciated, thank you!
Hi there - The steps are not exactly the same but very similar. We have our videos on that bike on our CZcams channel. You can check out the tail light install below! czcams.com/video/SbmSFkfAHJ8/video.html
@tstindustries, is this really legal? the plate is not mounted to the rear of the motorcycle and is at such an angle that reading is difficult. Would love to know your opinion especially as it relates to the plates new position being at the "rear" of the bike.
Somebody can tell me if is ilegal put my license plate like this?? Already put it but i would like to know,,, im in California,,, if u can find any law that can be great,,, thanks!
Darwin Jurado You can check with your local DOT. We have no way to research state laws. The plate in this configuration is fully visible but laws vary from state to state.
did you not read the video description? This is a TST Industries video, on the TST Industries channel, showcasing the installation steps for the TST Industries fender eliminator
+TSTindustries relax tst. I don't know why you getting all worked up over a simple question. Could of just simply said "no". I thought fender eliminators had their own name like by style they're made, not just brand name.
I mean it's removing 2 bolts, using a provided template and drilling 2 holes, and installing 2 additional bolts. But for some, it may be a little complicated.
I think the following video will do the best job of explaining to you our tail light options for this bike: czcams.com/video/ycdYSiTlJQo/video.html And then if you want to know about the license plate light please watch: czcams.com/video/Nts94US04Tc/video.html

Great to hear. Thanks for the love!
I would like to see an aftermarket shroud to wrap around the exhaust, somewhat how the OEM fender did. To me the exhaust just looks bare and unfinished in this state.
Looks great wish it was legal in the UK, gotta have the plate come out past the rear wheel here unfortunately
What tail light was that at the end of the video with the sequential turn signal?
The tail light that we designed, developed, and produce for these bikes. We actually make a non integrated, standard integrated, and programmable in smoked and clear lens. Have a look tstindustries.com/tst-led-in-tail-integrated-tail-light-cbr600rr-2007-2012.html
Where can I buy exhaust embellisher like this in carbon fiber? Please help me!!
If you are talking about the carbon exhaust tip then it's all on our website tstindustries.com
Hi tst does anyone know if this number plate mount is legal in the UK
Just installed this from you guys. Not your fault but it ended up costing me another $20 since the second I attempted to loosen the bolts on servo case they were so seized they cracked the case. I zip tied it back in like a neurosurgeon and it'll work until my new case arrives.
Sorry to hear that. If you didn't purchase one yet check out MRcycles...I think they have them for something like 8 bucks.
This happened to me too. I think holding the case from underneath solid at the mounting points and slowly loosening the bolts would prevent this from happening. also not too tight when putting the case back on. The case isnt well made
is there a list somewhere of the tools needed to complete this job? thank you.
We do not have a list for you. If you have a typical metric socket set, open ended set, and allen wrench set, a drill with a 1/4" or 6mm bit then you will have everything you need.

You are looking at the wrong video. The 03-06 specific one is here: czcams.com/video/Z7UnM3VywnU/video.html

I have a slightly bigger number plate I don't know i can work around that.
I'm also asking if the heat from the exhaust won't ruin the number plate?
If there is no physical contact then the radiant and convective heat should not affect number plate. We have sold thousands of these mounts since 2003 and haven't had that issue. As far as fit goes, that's going to have to be up to you. EU plates are huge, and some other areas in the world also use big plates. Those are tough to position right on these mounts.

Hey, do you guys have a video on how to fit a license plate light for this Fender Eliminator?
They actually has a video about it bro ,Just keep looking into their channel
@@cortesmendozaricardo5814 Thanks brotha! I found it after scrolling for a while haha

What size socket did you use… I can’t find one that fits
For which part?
Did you remove the heat shield for the Toce exhaust? And where did you mount the rear indicators ?
We did remove the heatshield for our application. We produce and sell a tail light that fits in the tail and has the signals built in, and also has programmable light patterns. That is what we used for indicators.
Hi Tst, you guys rule. Quick question: who makes that sick dual action ratchet?
When I purchased it the source was Husky tools but they have discontinued it. You can still get the same tool but with a yellow handle from Stanley tools.

Sorry, we do not have the configuration you are inquiring about.
Wouldn't happen to have a video of this install on a 07 cbr1000rr?
Anthony DeVita we don't but the installation on that gen 1000 follows the same procedure as 03-06 600. Here is that video and I'm confident it will get you 95% of the way czcams.com/video/Z7UnM3VywnU/video.html
Thank you for the super fast reply! I will give it a try.
Perfect! Thanks
codybball33. Hi there, do you know if this will fit on CBR 600rr 2004 ? Cheers
Will this work with a two brothers?
I have installed these with just about any exhaust, including TBR
Did you need to disconnect battery
No.
where can i find the template for the drill points??
Don Chong The template is on the instruction sheet, which is a part of the product.
I broke my cover so I need to drill more holes. I do not have the instructions anymore
Don Chong You can mock up the position that you want your bracket to be in using tape, mark where the holes will fall in that position and then drill the servo tray.
Will it fit 2013 cbr 500ra. Please let me know
No, this bracket will not readily work on the 500
In most states and all of Canada, it is illegal to mount your license plate in a location, or at an angle, which prevents traffic cams from reading it properly. And it is illegal to have a rear mounted plate without a white light of illumination. (it can be incandescent or LED, but not any color)
where did the brake light go and signals?????
We designed a taillight unit that fits in the tail fairing and has the signals integrated into it. You can see that install video here: czcams.com/video/mAXPunV_UxU/video.html
would this fender elim also works with a toce exhaust?
Yes it will work just fine with the Toce Exhaust.
What about a two brother exhaust?
No brake light?
kjacobson351 This is an installation instruction video for the license plate bracket only. The end of the video has a link to the installation video for an in-tail tail light. We offer two different kits for rear lighting on this bike model.

Will this work with a 2005 cbr 600rr?
Yes it will.
Is this method usable in2009?
***** That is correct!
what if the license plate is the big european one?
if you send us the measurements we can see how that works out. We actually sold many of these to Europe over the years and nobody raised an issue. I don't know for sure if this is because they custom fit their plate onto the bracket or maybe it fit as is.

will you provide the template?? i lost it.
for that you will have to contact our customer support through our website.
for some reason my tire scratched the plate a little bit, i am so confused.
@tstindustries, is this really legal? the plate is not mounted to the rear of the motorcycle and is at such an angle that reading is difficult. Would love to know your opinion especially as it relates to the plates new position being at the "rear" of the bike.
Who gives a fuck
Somebody can tell me if is ilegal put my license plate like this?? Already put it but i would like to know,,, im in California,,, if u can find any law that can be great,,, thanks!
Darwin Jurado You can check with your local DOT. We have no way to research state laws. The plate in this configuration is fully visible but laws vary from state to state.
It should be illegal ta have a fender eliminator with a stock exhaust. It looks hideous
Not road legal..
Hello, is this competition werkes? I have one that has turn signals inside brake lights. What kind of fender eliminator is that? Thank you!
did you not read the video description? This is a TST Industries video, on the TST Industries channel, showcasing the installation steps for the TST Industries fender eliminator
+TSTindustries relax tst. I don't know why you getting all worked up over a simple question. Could of just simply said "no". I thought fender eliminators had their own name like by style they're made, not just brand name.
+Life On Two Wheels I'm not getting worked up here. No offense intended with my post.
This is so complicated for what
I mean it's removing 2 bolts, using a provided template and drilling 2 holes, and installing 2 additional bolts. But for some, it may be a little complicated.
I wonder how much they charge and rip people off on this piece of metal
Our fender eliminator costs $24.99 as we don't believe in charging outrageous prices for our simple fender eliminator offerings.
TSTindustries yes but now the bike doesn’t have a tail light
TSTindustries which is illegal right ? Or no. If no I’ll buy it and just not have a light.
I think the following video will do the best job of explaining to you our tail light options for this bike:
czcams.com/video/ycdYSiTlJQo/video.html
And then if you want to know about the license plate light please watch:
