Fender Eliminator

And again some pics of the Duke 390 (2024+) tail tidy with corrected mounting angle; now with black coated baseplate...

I have a "spare" base-plate (made from 3mm aluminum), that I used when working on the 390 (2024+) tail tidy; the plate itself with the four drilled holes to mount it to the frame works perfect, but unfortunately the two drilled holes to bolt the tail tidy to the plate were slightly offset and I fabricated a new plate.
The spare plate will still work with the 390 (2017 - 2023) tail tidy; it would just need two addional drilled holes to fit two countersunk screws to bolt the tail tidy to the plate.
If anybody is interested, you will just have to pay for shipping (from Germany); and of course you will have to show some pics of the finished tail tidy on your bike! ;)

Looks nicely finished. However looks like the mounting plate will need new holes drilling. The OEM plate/indicator mount has four holes. See Tom,s post above
 
Damn. Yes. It will need a whole new base plate with 4 holes. I was hoping to avoid making something myself (with my limited skills!)
Is there no off-the-shelf solutions for the Husky 801?

Yes there are some, most have the wires for the number plate light and indicators exposed tho. Explore the full Fender Eliminator post

Hi Yonsson,
here also a pic of the backside of the baseplate I fabricated.
I adapted the plate directly to the recess on the rear frame.
Yes, I also made a sketch of the plate and can scan it.
But the plate needs to be beveled on all sides; one side quite a lot.
Alternatively a plate can be fabricated without the bevels; but with bigger gaps; it would definitely be more simple.

Here also (again) the photo of the recess on the rear frame.
You'll notice, the gap between the two parts of the rearframe isn't perfectly straight.
So the boreholes for the countersunk screws in the baseplate to mount it to the rearframe may not fit 100% on your frame.
Maybe standard Inbus- or Torx-screws instead of the countersunk screws (with a tad bigger boreholes) are a better solution if the plate is not fitted directly to your bike (that's what nearly all manufacturers do).

Hi Tom
What would be the simplest way for someone with limited technical skills to make a base plate like this? Also, would you be able to send me your drawing files, please? 🙏

I will have a go but have limited tools. Even if I could make a base plate with no bevels but a bit smaller, that would be fine I think. I have a drill, work bench and sander.

Thanks for any help!!

If it would be me, I would definitely give the Top-Block a try.
It doesn't look as nice as the cnc-milled Evotech, etc. tail tidys, but nevertheless it seems to be the best option as it fits the bike quite nicely; and a heat shield to protect the indicator is included.

If you're looking for an "as easy as possible" to adapt tail tidy (and also "as affordable as possible"), that is not made from a folded sheet of metal, you may take a look at Aliexpress; you can order a kind of copy of the Evotech Duke 390 (2017 - 2023) tail tidy for a very reasonable price; and it seem to work fine with the additional custom made 801 base plate; about as good as with the original Evotech tail tidy (someone already did it)...

@Tom , You have made a few different versions now. Which one is your favorite?
Click to expand...

My favorite is the 1290 version; there's not much difference to the 390 (2024+) version, but I do like the more compact basic body design with the more integrated turn signal extensions; but finally it's just a minor detail.
Nevertheless I do still also like the 390 (2017 - 2023) version, as it could also be a short stock tail tidy.
