I haven't seen any good pictures either - I was considering doing my 800 that way as well.   However, having the fender off and  studying it, seeing what would have to be done, I decided to skip it.  I had too many other custom projects on the list for me to justify this one.

I believe, though, you could make a bracket out of 1" x 1/8" flat steel, maybe, and get it to work with minimal effort.  Bend the bracket in a "U" shape to fit around the inside of the fender, lining up  with all the support holes.  Then at the ends, branch off another piece for the other swing-arm mounting location, and weld it on the "U".

Share some pics with us, if you decide to take it on....

Not unless you build an internal support for the fender.  The bumper you're wanting to remove has a lot of support function for the fender- it would bend all over without it.

But, it's been done....
