Hey, what's up - newbee to the site here.

Just purchased a 2006 1000 RR (Blue/Yellow) to replace the 03 gixxer 1000 that I sold several months ago. I've been riding for the past 18 years.

Can anyone offer some suggestions on cleaning up the undertail. That stock mud flap - license plate holder has to go. I'm going to replace the stock muffler with a slip-on, but I'm wondering what others are doing with the undertail?? If this has previously been posted, perhaps someone could supply the link to the post.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Welcome to the forum!

Fender eliminators are popular topics... try searching for "fender eliminator" to see what comes up. I have a Competition Werkes on my 1000rr and one from Larry (http://www.sprengineering.com) on my 600rr.

Jardine makes one as well as http://fendereliminators.net.

Hope that helps!

Thanks I'll check those suggestions out.

Heads Up, Rice Burner Welcome to the Site, I used the innards of the original..... until i can get a more recent pic of what the end product looks like here it is bare innards... still looks better than the stock wind sail in my opinion.

very innovative. [8D]

Thanks for the responses everyone. I've been spending some time looking on the web and there are quite some choices. One thing that I've seen that some people are doing (which I like) is a simple band around the muffler with a bracket for the license plate. I did see from some that they were not satisfied with the quality of a kit by fenderliminators - anyone on this site with a comment about this??

I've enjoyed this site so far, and am always on the lookout for trick mods for my bike.

I put on a Yosh and removed the rear sail but have my plate zip-tied verticle to the Passenger peg...very solid and doesnt look all that bad...i think ill pop for a competition works eventually....Especially when spring rolls around and i need the passenger pegs for a passenger....

Anubus----> Tell me how your bike is so damn clean in such crappy weather in that pic.....You in a competition for cleanest Black Bike with MGA-Oden???

I just put a www.competitionwerkes.com on my 06 1000RR. Install was very simple... it's a little pricy.... But it looks super clean!

I have the BikeLitez F/E on mine. Looks very clean and easy to install. Check out bikelitez.com.

Don't waste your money on aftermarket crap. I made my own bracket for 10.00 and it blows anything else away as far as looks go. Check out my gallery for detailed pics.

Yep...Ive got a plan for a DIY mount...I think it should turn out pretty slick for <$15 worth of Aluminum angle/sheet....I should have it done by next weekend....will mount to the inner batterybox lip/stiffener on an 04/05 and put the bracket at the same location/angle as the ComWerks LTD kit for the 06....Ive got the CA integrated taillight so i dont need any signals.


btw...that $299 undertail kit in the link above is pretty slick....not a bad deal either considering the Comititionworks bracket/signal kit is $170...Id have to see one in person though...

In the end, I went with a fender kit from Larry at the following link. Cost $30. I do know that you can simply make a DIY bracket, but I've looked at these on other bikes and didn't think that $30 was too much.

That one looks slick, and @ only $53 with tail lights I'm sold.

I'll take the 53 dollar kit. looks pretty good and have blinkers. Free shipping too. Not bad, that will do the job.

I put on a laser exhaust to clean it up, looks great!

Eastcoastdj,
This plate holder looks good!
Where did you get it?

I just got the Bikelitez F/E and I tell you what, it was a pita becuase I didn't know I was going to have to drill my own holes. Anyways after wrestling with several methods to getting the holes drilled I managed to figure out a way that worked. I love the way it looks but man it was a little confusing at first. Plus dude at bikelitez forgot to include the turn signals in the kit so after I cut the lines and removed the fender I noticed this...oh well. Now I gotta wait till next wednesday to get my signals on.

yo i am also looking in to other pipes as well let me know what u find out for now i riped the hole dame thing off so it just the pipe and nothing else it actually look pretty decent so untell u find what your looking for thats what i suggest happy trails and let me know what u find

How does that exhaust sound? It looks great.

the shock undertail is the niciest is has RR engraved in the brackets there whorth the
extra money. i got a lot of compliaments on them

nevermind

i went from a Larry's FE to the CW ... for the heck of it & that the CW retains the license plate light

another one i've heard good things about is made by Gregg's Customs (twin LEDs, etc)

most definately gregg's custom's.. just search for it on yahoo.. plate light works pritty good too so you don't have to worry about the cops too much at night.. wellllll worth the money

My C/W F/E LTD came in today. Puttin it on my '06 1kRR tomorrow!!!
Kinda pricey but looks sweet.

EDIT: WHOA.... just realized how old this thread is.

Yeah I did the same thing I posted and then saw how old it was. Take some pics of your new tail. I want to see what you got and what it looks like. I Just bought a 1000 RR and am looking at tails. So please lets see it when you get it on.

I have an 06 myself and a Hotbodies exhust is the only way to go. It is the cleanest looking set up I have found. A little extra heat tape, slight modification to get it to fit, and she is nice and loud.

Do you have any pics of the hotbodies on your 06. If so let me see please.

Installed the Competiton Werkes F/E LTD.Before, we all know how bad it looks, right?http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r39/kodiak1122/cbrforum/P3250014-1.jpgKit has everything needed(except zip-ties) and was carefully packaged.No problems with the installation.http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r39/kodiak1122/cbrforum/P3250017-1.jpgAfter:http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r39/kodiak1122/cbrforum/P3250021-1.jpghttp://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r39/kodiak1122/cbrforum/P3250022-1.jpghttp://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r39/kodiak1122/cbrforum/P3250023-1.jpg

^That one is sweeet, that is the one im going to get. Thanks for the pics.:D

What does the laser exhaust sound lik. If you can compare it to Arrow, Two Brother and Micron if you can. I also like the way the Laser looks and I am leaning towards it but I trying to do my home work before I run out and buy it.

Here a link toanother thread on pipe sounds. Maybe you have seen already.
Unfortunatly, we do not know what bike the tests were run on, and most likley sounds a lot different than coming fromcomputer speakers.

Kodiak, a couple of questions for ya. I heard the lights that come with thecomp. werkes FE are stick onwith double stick tape. Is that true? Also, your tank protecter is that a clear one or silver? I see youkept the stock exhaust. Any concerns about adding a slip-on exhaust after you put on the FE and would it be better to do them both at the same time. Great pics, thank in advance.

The Tail lightscome with double sided foam tape. The licence light comes withstrongerdouble sided tape, its 3M VHB (Very High Bond)I use the same stuff at work.

The tank protector is clear. Here is link to the product.This is not where I got it from http://www.cyclestuffusa.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=11325

I have no plans on replacing the stock can. (please no flaming) The Undertail / Fender Eliminator installs and removesvery easily. So, if you get a new can later, it should not be a problem.

i put a hotbodies slip on and undertail om my 05 1k

i put a hotbodies slip on and undertail on my 05 1k works and sounds great

Thanks Kodiak. I wish they didn't use tape. It doesn't seem right. I was considering staying with my stock can as well.

The foam tape for the tail lightisnot applied, you have to put it on. But, you dont have to use it if you dont want. I did not notice any other mounting holes for screw attachment on the lights.

Admin, please delete.

I just ordered an undertail for my bike. It is a hotbodies one. but not the one with their exhaust.

I got this one. Just in red

Looks really nice, do the kit came with a tag light?

The one I got does have both plate light and turnsignals.

Has anyone else gotten the fender eliminator kit from http://www.sprengineering.com/ (http://www.sprengineering.com/) i would like more feed back on installation

I forgot to mention it's for the cbr 1000 2006. I'm so happy with this bike but the fender has to go. I have the yellow and blue any other cosmetic mods. let me know.

JonnyJon,

Please post pics once you get it installed. I was considering the kit as well, but have concerns on what slip-on will work with it. Do you know if it will fit over the Arata T-Box?

I think they say which aftermarket pipes it goes well with on their site. Also you can email them...yeah this might be the one for the money. That competition werkes looks good though.

I posted another thread with all my mods on it.

I have the fendereliminators.net one on my bike and i cant be happier with it. small, sleek and stylish with the turnsignals attached to the plate bracket and the bright tag light. i get some problems with the cops, but that will happen with almost anyone of these kits unless your plate is exactly perpindicular to the road

I bought the Competition Werks FE.The install is very easy and it looks immaculate. If you like I will send a picture or two.


Sprout

any pics of the mods you all have done...My stock 06 cbr 1000 needs some real help. Also is it simple for a novice to install the fender eliminator...I was looking at it this weekend and really dont no where to start in cleaning up the factory fender

FE install is simpleto do;the instructions are very easy to follow. I would also recommend doing the clear alternatives integrated taillight at the same time. This will clean up the rear end of the bike.

Hey Kodiak! How do you like the rear blinkers? Thats the one thing Im concerned about.

here are my mods that you can see so far. http://www.cbrforum.com/m_285355/tm.htm

Hey Kodiak! How do you like the rear blinkers? Thats the one thing Im concerned about.

The rear blinkers are ok. Kinda small but still visible.Might change then out laterand go withan integrated tail.
I installed protons on the front, they also look sweet, but are hardly visible straightfrom front view.

If you have the money... The hotbodies undertail custom exhaust is great... and it sounds good too. I have it on my 06 1000 RR. Be careful about where you place your plate... I'm short and lowered the rear 1" and had problems with the plate hitting the tire...
