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 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 ?

Oh...it's a Blue one! You should have said, then we'd have known which one you meant. :D
