Good Morning! 'Figured it might be polite to introduce myself as the new guy:

My name's Fiveinch. I have just (happily) purchased a 2004 GSX-R600. I can hardly wait to get it over 7500rpm!

Same here! :D (what colors is yours?)
It seems this little beast has become a top selling bike!
Are you going to put on some afertmarket stuff?

Rear fender to match the front
Read fender?
Why adding a rear fender to a bike that doesn't have it?
That truss-road on the back is just fantastic...

isnt that stack annoying? It's so ugly. You dont need anything back there after you take it off. It looks so much cleaner without that dangling from there.
:oops: :cry: :oops: :cry:
I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.
I know for sure my bike doesn't have a back fender, there is a kind of truss-road soldered to the frame, and it looks great...
What am I missing?

Janis: There is a plastic 'stack' that bolts to my bike to provide a fender for rear deflection of objects leaving the rear tire, holds the license plate, and all rear lighting. It can be remove and streamlined with after-marke parts.

Wait wait...are you talking about that piece of plastic crap (oopps) that is supposed to hold the plate?
If so I wanted it removed before I went to pick up the bike from the bike-shop! :D
If you're talking about that, it's NOT a rear fender and it's not for rear deflection of object leaving the rear tire...at least I never thought it was.
It it's that you need no replacing...guaranteed.

The piece you are referring to-- does it have grooves, or lines in it? Right in front of the rear tire?
The place I was referring to can be considerend part of the frame...forget about it, it's obviously not the one you're talking about!

Sorry about all that confusion I've made :D

ciao, Janis

You're right, it's not really for deflecting anything. They just call it a fender, hence "fender eliminator kits" that make everything nice and flush/integrated for the tail. :)
OK got it! Thank you sis!
Now I know I own a fender eliminator kit (and it sounds way better than the italian name for it, which translates something like 'hold plate'). This thing (I need it to actually hold the plate, but I remove it when I ride at the tracks) I've got is adjustable (different inclinations) and hosts little signals (removed the stock ones, front and rear).
When I get my new fairing painted I will post some pics of my friggin'new bike.
And no, I'm not hijacking this thread! 8) 8)
(sorry fiveinch!)

ciao, Janis
