Really nice with some extra work

Bought two of these.  They look nice, but bulb hangs down too far, almost to the bottom of the shade and the light is harsh, even with soft white bulbs.  The gold interior of the shade gives a golden hue to the light which I do not like.  I searched all over for a light diffuser for a hanging lamp and finally, after multiple searches, found the perfect clip on plastic cover for handing bulbs at Home Depot.  Looks great in the lamp and diffuses the light to a much more acceptable glow.  With the addition of the diffuser this has become a great lamp.  Only three stars because of all the extra searching I had to do to find a bulb diffuser that would work.

The finish and material used in the rack are really nice.  If you're willing to do a little work to it before installing it's even better.  I cut 4" off the uprights and redrilled the holes with a holesaw to fit my 2015 f150 extended cab a lot better.  I was also able to build the rack on my truck by myself in about 2 hours.  I know people have complained about the instructions but come on this isn't rocket science.  I glanced through the instructions but mostly just figured it out as I went instead of building it on the ground and needing two people.  You'll probably want to take some steps to protect your truck if you decide to build the rack on your truck by yourself.  I also painted the hardware black the day before to make it look even better.  Bottom line is if you're somewhat handy this rack is for you. If not, you'll probably be frustrated.

A few more cons -
Lots of wind noise but you get used to it.
One of the hardware packs was missing when I got it and took three weeks for them to send a new one.  I was almost going to give three stars for this but I think the rack itself is 4 stars and this probably isn't a common occurance.

I have 2013 R1 and this fender eliminator looks amazing.  I got the carbon fiber one and it looks perfect.  The lights all worked well as well (once issues were resolved).

There are a few issues however that you may run into and cause you to do a little more manual labor than other kits.  One issue is that the top could be about 1/4in longer as it barely reaches the back two screws in the fully back position with the front screw.

Here are the list of things that I had to do to get this to work:

-You'll need (3) #6 Metric nuts, the existing bracket is not easily removed and I opted to buy the nuts for $1 at Home Depot instead of struggling with it. Take the screw to the hardware store and find which nut fits.
-You will need to cut the existing license plate light cable and splice together the new cable.  I used quick disconnect ends and crimped then on each of the 4 cables. It's far too difficult to reach where the existing butt connectors are, so just cut it from oem fender.
-The wire connectors on the turn signals are too large. And on that, you need new wiring harnesses as well.  Sadly these aren't sold individually.  The Yamaha store near me had a front turn signal kit that comes with two extra harnesses and extra ends for the wires that you can crimp on to fit into the wire harness.  This kit is about $60, but I planned on eventually swapping out my front turn signals for flush mount ones anyway, so I wasn't to upset.  But if you just need to extra parts....this might be costly.

With all that said, once you get all the wiring work done, and get it on the bike, it looks amazing and works.

Eventually the turn signals won't be needed as I forsee myself getting the integrated taillight. So before you feel like going through all the work I did...if you plan on getting the integrated taillight, get it at the same time as this so you won't need any extra parts except for the nuts.

Just a bit too big for the glass pieces, but when done, very nice. Just have to give it a bit of work and patience.

This is really lovely. I'm very pleased with the looks but it takes a bit of skill and wore to attach to the wall. I definitely needed an extra pair of hands to do it.

Looks great and functions well. Not all the pieces fit exactly together. Had to force some panels together and add additional screws. Other than that, I like it

This is nice, but the welded parts should have been welded together a little bit better. My hubby, not me this time, backed into a pole barely tapping it and this came off. Thankfully we were paying attention and was able to save it. After some reinforcement from what, I don't know, but it's back up and we're rollin. P.S. This is on an extra long Suburban and it doesn't look too small. It's perfect. The lock coming with it was also a nice addition.

It is difficult to put together. Instructions are clear, but the mechanics are awful. You'll need some an extra wrench. They need to redesign a better way to clamp and upper barrel to the lower barrel. I had to Dremel-out the stabilizing revolving fixture into order to fit it onto the pipe that allows the barrel to turn. Overall, once put together, it's wonderful. I give it a 3 because of the extra work I had to do, but otherwise, it's a 5 star finished product.

These things are a little finicky to put together, but for the price and style the effort is well worth it.

It looks nice and came as promised.  Only issue is that directions tell you to dry fit before you glue it together, great except that when I tried to remove the parts after dry fitting it was jammed - a tiny bit of nudging broke a peice off.  A lot of glue later it seems to be ok, but let's see how long it will last before it fails.

Other than that it was easy to put together, need lots of extras so please read everything clearly.

Love this, but I do have a couple things I wanted to mention. First of all, it arrives in what seemed like thousands of pieces. It took me hours to assemble it. The crystals don't seem to be very well attached to the metal pieces that hold them onto the fixture, and the small amount of chrome on them is visibly cheaper (lower quality) than that on the rest of the light; thinner and a little pitted/discolored. Also, It came with an uneven number of clear and smoked crystal pieces. That was annoying because I discovered it after I put half of them up and had to go back and rearrange them so they would appear more even. It was missing several of the little tiny screws that tighten/hold the lights and chrome arms in place.  It's well-made, but fragile. I don't think I'm going to be able to let my cleaning lady near it. She'll break it! But I have to admit, it looks spectacular. It's an art piece. Absolutely beautiful.

This is a lovely piece.  It works well and looks nice.  However, the construction was pretty difficult and time consuming.  The instructions were fairly detailed, but the pieces were not marked. The pictures provided were small enough that it was difficult to distinguish one piece from another.  My husband, who is pretty talented at this kind of thing, required my help.  I'm not good at this kind of thing, but between the two of us we finally were able to tell which part belonged where.  And there were a bunch of different parts.  This is not a matter of "some assembly required."  This is a matter of starting from scratch and building it little piece by little piece.

I really enjoy this. I made a display stand for it. And it looks awesome. But it does require some work I wasn't expecting.

But the aluminum round came with small pits. Like it had been dropped a few times. The finish was gross. It was as if someone had sprayed hard water and let it dry. These issues required a lot of buffing to get the finish presentable. So if you're gifting this to some one, you may want to buff it before giving it to them.

Also it was a little irritating that there's a 1/4"(6.5mm) hole in the side of the casing. I'm assuming this is part of making this case inert. Legally it probably needs to be there. But that wasn't explained anywhere. And no pictures depicted it's presence. The hole isn't really that nice to look at. Especially since it had a burr that no one bother to shave down. And could cut someone's finger if they weren't looking.

This was my first Metal Earth model and it was a fun, but difficult, project. I spent about four hours putting it together and ended up with a great looking final project, even though I definitely messed up a couple of the steps. If I had it to do over again I think I would have tried to make better use of the twist join, especially for the base connection. Pay special attention to that part, because if the connection is loose it will wobble when you pick it up.

I couldn't imagine putting this thing together without tools, so make sure you have some tweezers or needle nose pliers handy, as well as something with which to snip small pieces of metal. I ended up using fingernail clippers, tweezers, tiny screwdrivers, and a pair of pliers that were much larger than they should have been. Take your time and use the right tools and you'll end up with an awesome looking model and a great sense of accomplishment!

Big project but is worth the effort. Make sure you have a glue gun handy as the glue provided is not adequate.

used this for completing a project that I was given and it did really well with little modifications needed.

I am enjoying it a lot. It could use some modification, like putting some rubber mix into it and have a good shield coat to the outside so the design is still there.
