Hotbodies TAG Fender Eliminator Kit Honda CBR250R

I purchased this Fender Eliminator Kit to improve the appearance of my bike. It did make it look better, but the product is pretty cheap and flimsy. The piece which holds the rear tail lights together does not work well. The product itself does not fit the bike as well as it should.

I would not purchase this product again. It's better to get a better product at a slightly higher price, than to get this.

My rear tail lights wobble as though they are about to fall even though I installed them properly.

I bought this for my 2012 CBR 250R.
The product is cheaply made and with that the quality stinks.
First off the holes for the license plate did not line up. No big deal slot the license plate and bow it out that fixed that problem.
My bike didn't have washers with the turn signals (either hot bodies are wrong and the 2012 doesn't have them or they had been discarded by the previous owner whish I doubt since I asked him) no problem just add some washers.
Next I installed the kit to the sub frame but when trying to attach the light and tail fairing I noticed the fender eliminator was to wide to allow all the lines to match up once everything was snapped together. So I took it of and started to shave on the sides. Once reinstalled and light with tail fairing installed the next step is to install the rivets back in the underside of the fender and you guessed it they didn't line up... I loosened the subframe bolts tried to line them up no luck. Took the light and tail fairing off and took the 3 subframe bolts out places the rivets in and tried to line up the subframe hole with no luck.
At this point I'm done with this piece of crap. I will never recommend this product or another hotbodies product! Unfortunately it cost me $53 to learn this lesson so I write this review to try and save anyone else money.

Where to begin? Was it the absolutely terrible, photocopied instructions? The terribly molded, low quality plastics that didnt even come close to matching factory plastics? Could it have been the signal bracket that the signals couldnt bolt to, because the holes were too big? Or maybe it was that the CBR 300 has multiple places where the bolt assembly is different, causing this kit to not fit. No, I think it was when I realized that the tail boom that my tail light bolts into would be completely removed, unless I pulled out the chop saw, cut the end off it, and used the internal bolting assembly to hold the tail light in place, with what was left of my tail boom. Yes. It was at this moment that I realized I was returning my precious bike back to factory build, and not installing this kit. I'm now thoroughly ready to call this one 2 hours wasted, and a lesson well learned. Save your money.

It was easy to install, with patience. It works great but I recommend an integrated tail light because the turn signal brackets flimsy and have broke within a month. For me to change the license plate I have to remove way to much to simply change the plate. Other than that it looks great, and I have had no problems with the license plate part of the kit.

Excellent fitting when it came to the parts order..smooth transaction. !.

Installed on my partners Honda CBR250R. Great product, pretty easy to install if you know what you are doing. If not, then i suggest watching a few videos of how to install it to give you an idea. Ours didn't sit 100% correctly as a clip was broken in the side plastics but other then that, it looks amazing.

We got the textured look but we should have gone with the gloss but oh well, still looks amazing plus you don't even see it.

This product cost a lot less then the other competitors and it serves the same function and looks the same.

I really like the look that this fender eliminator kit gives the bike. It doesn't have a bulky look anymore. I watched the video that was on the site and decided to give it a shot. Big hands can be a downer as it's a pretty tight place to work on the tali of the bike. The finish of the plastic parts id really nice. Only request I would have is that the plastic piece the turn signals mount on could use a bit more of reinforcement to take the lights bouncing with road bumps. Mine has some cracks but still works great. Just like on of the rating questions asked, this product is the best bang for you buck. Thanks.

Build quality wasn't perfect. There is a small gap at the very rear of the FE that bugs me, but not so much that I've taken it back off.

From what I've heard, the turn signal bracket is extremely flimsy. I don't use it, so it doesn't bother me. If for some reason that's a dealbreaker for you, go spend 5 bucks at lowes and fabricate one rather than spending more on the yoshimura.

Its not an AMAZING FE. But it does the job, and does it well enough.

This fender eliminator kit for the Honda CBR250R is a good value and definitely improves the look of the bike. It seems sturdy and the plastic appears as though it will hold up over time. Overall, I am satisfied with the product. For me (a newbie), it was challenging to install, however. It required a lot of dismantling, and several steps. Not all steps were described well in the instructions. I found it helpful to refer to installation videos on youtube. It took a few hours to install, but I am happy with the result.
