: Evo Tech Eliminator
DieselDan 04-17-2006, 11:28 PM I ordered this from Ebay last week and it arrived today. It is a nice piece with excellent instructions but it sits to low for my liking. I also had to custom make a bracket to fit my plate on the bike because Mass plates are wider than most, which was a pain. I made a make shift elimintaor from sheet metal and I should have just kept it it looked alot nicer.
Just thought I would let you guys know from first hand, I am going to TRY and return tomorrow.
IMO not worth the money
whiskyshooter 04-18-2006, 12:38 AM Do you have any pic of it? I have seen a few but just from a far would like to see a good pic of it. If I like it I would prob buy it from ya

I dont know if they are going to hit me with a restocking fee and what not. I am already going to pay to ship it back to europe so that might be a good idea
I will post pics today, if they dont let me return it.
Interloper 04-18-2006, 11:13 AM I installed mine the other day, will post up some pics today at lunch
DieselDan 04-18-2006, 12:56 PM Did u like how it fit on the bike?
gsx-r_kid 04-18-2006, 01:16 PM just do what i did and drill holes in the middle of the plate to mount the plate as high as possible.. there pics of mine floating around the site somewhere
DieselDan 04-18-2006, 01:26 PM That might be a good idea, the plate sits to low for me. Thing is I have had my own eliminator for a week now and it is mounted underneath the tail so I am used to the look, maybe I just have to get used to it.
Interloper 04-18-2006, 02:17 PM Here are some pics...didn't have photoshop at work, so they are a little dark

random hero 04-18-2006, 04:34 PM pics no worky...
ComeonK6 04-18-2006, 04:58 PM Here are some pics off the aution itself. Fitted mine a couple of weeks ago. I think it looks quite trick although your plate doesnt butt right up to the tail section due to license plate light that needs wiring. Ive wipped off the rear pegs and put a smaller plate on and the back end looks a hundred times better than stock.
gsx-r_kid 04-18-2006, 08:14 PM here it is
gsx-r_kid 04-18-2006, 08:17 PM another
Sroufe7 04-18-2006, 10:46 PM Looks awesome!
Juice916 04-18-2006, 10:59 PM who on ebay did you get it from and how much?
DieselDan 04-18-2006, 11:34 PM I bought it straight from evo tech on ebay for 99 dollars shipped.
gixx kid, yeah with the plate mounted higher it looks alot better, i still might sell mine tho.
juice if u r interested PM and I will sell you mine cheaper and less wait time.
gsx-r_kid 04-19-2006, 08:20 AM ya i got mine when he first made it for 75 dollars and it took almost 2 weeks to get here
Lee383 04-19-2006, 12:31 PM looks like you have to drill holes in the middle of the license plate itself for it to work.

Thin T-Bracket mend plates from Home Depot or Lowe's work to allow you to use the actual plate holes. Depending on how you bolt them up you may need a small spacer between the plate and bracket to keep it off the bolts.
nero750 04-19-2006, 01:41 PM How did I know we were gonna hear about the $3.19 home depot specials real soon ?:flipoff
PAJeep 04-19-2006, 02:30 PM How did I know we were gonna hear about the $3.19 home depot specials real soon ?:flipoff
umm, I was referring to how to connect the plate to the evotech eliminator you putz.
nero750 04-19-2006, 04:56 PM Better yet, send that euro5hit back ! :cheers
DieselDan 04-19-2006, 11:25 PM I am sending it back if someone wants to buy it PM me, it is going back on Monday
chaoticsmoke 05-23-2006, 11:24 AM FYI...I contacted Evo Tech about an adapter bracket for US plates and then said all new eliminators now come with them. Good customer service and support for US plates, so i ordered. Installed last weekend and it looks great - with the adapters you can get the plate to sit high and tight - without drilling holes in the plate.
Banksyman 05-23-2006, 03:00 PM Better yet, send that euro5hit back ! :cheers
Thats rich coming from an american ! :cheers

OhSicksGix 05-23-2006, 03:22 PM i made my plate brack out of 1/2 inch aluminum from home depot

greygti 05-23-2006, 05:30 PM Got any pics of waht you made?
rob1324 05-23-2006, 09:33 PM bought mine on ebay, love it,no pics though
KeggeR62 05-23-2006, 10:13 PM that bracket looks pretty good .. :cool
dv8ter 05-23-2006, 10:25 PM Here's a close up of the bracket on mine. I had to drill holes for my plate to mount it though.http://f5.putfile.com/5/14223214752.jpg
I know, I missed that hole for the wire to go through, but I don't feel like taking the tail off again :)
DieselDan 05-23-2006, 11:26 PM looks good still have mine, i bought a different one

Very cool. Since I helped him with all the dimensions I guess I should send an email and see if I cant get the adapter sent.

+1
I contacted them after I read your post, thanks for the info. Evo Tech was great and responded quickly. They are going tp ship the US mount bracket to me.
chaoticsmoke 05-25-2006, 09:58 AM I was thinking of finishing off my evo tech with a thin black license plate frame instead of just going plate only...seems like it may blend in even better with the tail.
anyone else have this setup? anybody know where i might find a good license frame? i have searched google, ebay and every bike shop that i know of and all i can find are the huge ones with logos like your fav sports team or something...
DieselDan 06-20-2006, 04:20 AM still for sale...............
