KZ650 Fender Eliminator.....

Are you actually getting snippy because no one responded within 2.5 hours?

Assuming you have some metal-working, experience just fabricate it.

.100" aluminum angle and pop rivets. Very easy to work and very strong and not too heavy.
The sheet came from somewhere else. It's scrap from something. Might get it on ebay.
Angle and thin gauge sheets can usually be had at Home Depot or Menards.

We slapped this together in a couple hours and it was super strong. I wish I had more photos during construction, but it was done quickly. All we used was a jig saw, drill, maybe a few files and a pop rivet gun.

If you've never cut, ground, drilled fitted metal parts before, then maybe this should not be your very first project.
The Kz650 duck tail is the most iconic, in my opinion, of all of the Kz tails. It is the most artistic so it would be a shame to mess it up. Of the photos in your other thread about this subject, your bike looks way better than the black one you posted.

No difficult, took me anout two hours.

I kuje your bike, but I want to keep the stock signal lights and tail light. Kinda like this:

Thanks. A pic from the back would be useful. All I am really looking at is your "bike" and its profle,, not how the tailight has been recessed....

That engine looks like a Kawa Twin. I have one! See below:

Ill make one for you. Im working on my seat, wiring and what not today.

I posted 3 photos. I don't know if you can see the other two, but they show the internal construction a little bit. It is just a plate with a right angle bend at the far end. The tail light bolts directly to the bend at the end. Each side is just a single aluminum angle bar like Martin posted, but I don't think you would need those. The gold plate was the only piece that needed bending and you can see we put a gentle curve on it to mate up with the frame bolts under the seat.

Yes, I've seen your 750 twin and it looks great! I love seeing stock bikes out and getting ridden. (Your 650 is pretty damn nice as is.) The one I posted is a 400 twin and the plastic has a different shape, but the point is fabricating the skeleton underneath doesn't have to be very complicated. The 650 would be easier due to the frame being more complete in back. It is not my bike, and I don't have a way of getting more photos of it.

Here is a buddy's 650 I worked on in a similar fashion. When we were done it still had the full size tail. The next time I saw it, to my horror, he cut off the end of the plastic. Huge mistake in my opinion.
This bike is also long gone.
You can see there is just a simple plate holding the tail light,

Awesome. I just texted you this morning to show you what I did with the Dremel and my carbs! I will text you! Im sure I have some 650 parts laying around that you can use too.
