I just got a MT10 and chow the vagabond piece. Seems like really good quality and it took no time to install

It's what I have and I'm happy with it. Install is easy, just be careful with the OEM lights. Play close attention to the removal from the stock bracket, its a little tricky. They stems of the light will crack easy if you use too much pressure.

Hey OP, just wanted to add something you may not know. By 'best', you seem to imply there're no drawbacks, and that's unfortunately not the case here. First of all, I also have the Vagabond, since it allows you to keep the stock seat lock cover (once cut, that is). So it was the 'best' for me too. But keep in mind you'll completely eliminate protection from the rain. I still did it, since the stock piece is an abomination, and I never ride in the rain on purpose, but any rain would make a royal mess out of the rear of your bike, be it a tail bag, or a passenger. And even without a passenger, the entire rear seat, and even your back would be a mess too. In addition (and this might be more important than the rain issue to some), you won't be able to fix the OEM accessory side bags, or any other popular ones, like the MoTech Blazes, due to the turn-signals interfering (at least with the Vagabond unit). Sorry for the bad news, but hope this helps  . |

So if you do go the fender eliminator route, because as others have stated fender eliminator is not always better (although 99% of the time it is lol), I personally think the Vegabond is the best.
I have it on my current bike, I had a Vegabond on my FZ-07, and my GF has one on her SV-650. We love them. I think they are by far the best value for the quality of what you get. I have had no issues with any of the three we have had and I will buy from them in the future as long as they make one for the bike I'm looking to buy it for.
If you get a integrated tail light you can use some of the saddle bag options. I have the SW-Motech Blaze bags.

I use the Vagabond myself, and it is very high quality, unlike others I've seen that are thin metal easily bent. Water from the road will get on your back with or without the fender eliminator so that makes zero difference. And I have taken off the stock signals (because they are hideous) and when with an integrated tail from CustomLED and I can still use the stock saddlebags if I so choose.
