I am replacing my fender on my 2001 F4i,, my question is this,,, If I cut the plastic back as I'm suppose to do, What holds the battery in place? It seems that its all one piece. This is my bike and this is the undertail I'm putting on it.

 

Nobody knows??? I tried to look this up in the search,, but no one explains how much of that undertail I should cut off inorder to put this new one on. Any idea??? please help me understand this,,,,, am I missing something?

 

you should only cut out the amount of plastic sticking out from the rear cowl, everything else stays there, and the undertail just slides under the rest of the plastic. maybe someone with an 01-03 could show you in a pic

 

You will only need to cut off the stock undertail that hangs down past the subframe, if that makes sence. your undertail will cover up the stock one, as you will need to retain it in order to hold the battery. Here is a link: http://www.58cycle.com/images/parts/...4i%202001-2003

the instructions for the F4i are about 3/4 down the page

 

I GOT AN UNDERTAIL FROM PIMPBIKE.COM AND IT DIDN'T COME WITH ANY INSTRUCTIONS EITHER.ANYWAY I CUT ALL THE PLASTIC THAT ENDED WERE THE TRAYS IN THE PLASTIC END BUT I LEFT THE PART THAT HAS THE SCREWS HOLES THAT BOLT UP TO THE SUBFRAME (WHERE THE TAILIGHT BRACKET BOLTS UP TO)SO THE TRAY CAN STILL BE HELD UP.I DIDN'T TRIM THE SIDES OF YET BUT I THINK I NEED TO CAUSE YHE CLIPS WON'T FIT THREW THE UNDERTAIL THE SEAT FAIRING AND THE PLASTIC TRAY AT THE SAME TIME.HOPEFULLY I'VE BEEN HELFUL.
