I installed the Vegabond Motorsports fender eliminator this afternoon.
It installed very easily and the fit is spot-on.
I did the turn signal and license plate wires a little different than they do in their installation video, I made a small loop using Velcro ties under the tray that's under the passenger seat, but other than that, I followed it to the letter.
In the installation video for the Graves Motorsports FE kit, they show you how to move a few electrical components around to get to the turn signal and license plate light wiring much easier.










I removed the Yamaha sticker from the front fender, the R3 sticker from the left side of the fairing, and the 320 stickers from the rear side covers. I don't like many graphics on my motorcycles.

I have a solo seat cowl and swingarm spools on order.

This is the R3's big brother. Yamaha makes some da*m fine motorcycles!

Today I installed a Yoshimura eliminator. Reason I went with Yoshi is; my dealer told me that there needs to be a certain amount of separation between turn signals in order for bike to pass the inspection. I didn't want to risk anything and went with Y which has the greatest distant between signals.

"My dealer told me that there needs to be a certain amount of separation between turn signals in order for bike to pass the inspection."

Some states can really be a big PITA when it comes to stuff like that.
Can you pass inspection without any rear and side facing red reflectors?

The Yoshi fender eliminator is a very nice product. Heck, everything they make is pretty da*m nice!

I'm liking the Vagabond for $60. Looks like a great deal. One question about your pic: That area that looks like a vent, is that open to the underside of the passenger seat area? If so, couldn't water from the road get thrown in and mess with the electronics that are in there?
