Hey everyone,
Did a DIY fender eliminator project on my ninja 250 recently. It turned out really well so I thought I would help anyone who was thinking of doing the same by posting how I did it. Here I go:
See pictures in link below to get an idea of how it works:

Step 1: Remove fender and cut off excess plastic (I used just a hand saw to do this). When done, sand down rough edges and smooth out by lightly melting edges with a lighter.
Step 2: Purchase L-Bracket from Home Depot (or other hardware store) and drill 2 sets of holes. First set to attach L-Bracket to bike and second set to attach existing ninja licence plate mount. Once holes drilled, paint with black rust proof paint and let dry. (Note: There are two Licence Plate mounts on the stock fender. Use the smaller one which does not have any reflectors)
Step 3: Once paint dry, attach L-Bracket to tail piece using existing brake light bolts. Once this is in place, attache the stock licence plate mount to the L-Bracket.
Step 4: Mount the tail piece back onto your bike (ie. re-assemble bike)
Step 5: Attach licence plate
DONE!
I am going to go purchase two LED licence plate light bolts in order to light up the licence plate. I will post picture once they are installed.
