zuzu, what are you fastening the bracket to? Are those the bolts for the rear handgrip? I want to do this on my 94 600 but don't want to screw it up.

Well, I chopped the fender on my 2005 Katana 750 and hand fabricated a bracket from sheet metal. I think it turned out pretty well.
I had all of the tools I needed and already had the primer and paint. I think I paid $3 for the sheet metal at Lowe's and maybe .20 for the machine screws?
1. I removed the seat, grab bar, and tail fairings and chopped the fender off smooth with the underside of the tail fairing using an air disc cut-off tool.
2. I drew out the flat pattern of the fender eliminator I designed.
3. Drill the holes out while it is just drawn on the full piece of sheet metal. (Trust me, I didn't and it is a complete PITA to do later!)
4. Cut out the flat bracket. I used the cut-off disc you can use whatever you like. Grind the corners off the ears for the turn signals so they are rounded. (I don't have a pic of this until the final one.)
5. Bend the bracket where the smaller lines are shown in the diagram.
6. Prime and Paint the bracket the color of your choice. (I chose a semi-flat black to make it blend into the fender well.)
7. Attach this to the inner fender using the two holes drilled and two machine screws with nyloc nuts.
8. Install the turn signals. (I used some smaller cat-eye signals with clear lenses that I bought for $15.)
9. Re-assemble your bikes tail section. (Be sure you have the release cable for the seat hooked back up properly before installing the seat!)
10. Take pics! (Be sure to take some before pics too!)
(What looks like extra bolts at the corners of the reflector in this is a reflection in the tail paint of the screws and corners of the tag frame.)-2005 Katana GSX750F ***SOLD***

No point in letting everyone on in the internet have access to your license plate. In some states, you can pull public records that include your home address. This makes the internet a perfect spot to find a bike you like, get their plate info, go to that person's house, and steal their bike. No thanks. They can work for it by staking out my place like the old times.Pain is just weakness leaving the body.
