I got the 04 R1 Graves fender elim w/ the turn signal mounts from McCoys. Very impressed w/ the quality. It's an aluminum piece painted flat black to match. Only thing you lose is the plate light, but the angle keeps it lit at night from the taillight.
The stock signals are moved inward a few inches for a MUCH Cleaner look, especially if you hate the look of cheapo aftermarket signals that never have a factory quality look.
Only issue is that there is < 1/4" clearance between signal stalk and backside of license plate bolt holes. Either get a really short screw and slide nut in there or do what I did. I got stainless pan head screws, put them in backwards (threads pointing to rear of bike), and capped them off with stainless acorn nuts and flat washer and loctite.
Awesome part! Outstanding quality! Factory looking appearance. Don't waste $150 on some competition werkes piece of bent stainless sheet. This is a thick, sturdy, gussetted, welded aluminum plate piece.
