you have to cut it off, then make an undertray out of ally, then fit it all together

I fitted a Fender Eliminator from Hamicad. If you go to their website they have the instructions in pdf for you to follow. Don't thank me thank them. Hope it helps.

+1 - good instructions. basically take the rear plastics off, take the snow-shovel off. fit the tail-tidy, fit the plastics. find the bike won't start cos you've knocked one of the multiplugs out. Take the rear plastics off again.....

As mentioned above the Hamicad (http://www.hamicad.co.uk/SV_Fender.html) instructions.

Only Pointy's have Tail Tidys....

I think he may be on about the Black Button Rivets and how to remove them , get a Philips screwdriver and push the inside circle inwards , gently , they will pop into the rivet and then you should be able to take them out using a thumbnail . You can then pop them back into themselves when off the bike so that they will "Take" when you re-install them . Is this what you are on about ?

Aaah don`t take it to heart Ziv , this lot will yank your chain on a regualr basis but they mean no harm :D , was it the black button Rivets that were giving you a bad time to undo ?

[Ziv]

Not really, just didnt have a clue what i was doing and after a half hearted search fora how to couldnt find oneso thought i'd ask the experts... googled it again tho and found one.. should just do tht from now on tbh ! still it keeps the forum active

[xXBADGERXx]

Yeah this lot are actually VERY helpful in general , you just got them at a wrong time . Nice work on the SV , looks tidy , I kept my snowplough on though as it holds my Touring Scottoiler reservoir nicely :D
