Honda Grom Rear Fender Eliminator Kit Install 

Honda did a pretty good job of styling the Grom, but some may find the rear fender it comes with a bit too chunky. 

With that in mind, the next step in our Honda Grom upgrade project is installing an aftermarket Yoshimura fender eliminator kit to our 2018 Grom to give it a sleek look and make it really stand out. Watch the video above and follow the step-by-step guide below to install a Honda Grom rear fender eliminator kit.
