Default Installed Hotbodies undertail kit

Took me like five hours from start to finish! The cutting was definitely a pain in the a$$ but it was all worth it!

Hit by scalding plastic!

And, also, a picture of my Hotbodies flushmounts.

Looks great! I just ordered the exact same undertail about 2 days ago, and I can't wait for it to get here to put it on.

Any advice, since you've now been through it?

Also, where did you get your exhaust from? The only ones I can find on the net for the RS3 are for California model bikes.

I too, enjoy this undertail more than any other available for the newer F4i's.

I just can't wait to get mine now

Thanks for the compliments.

The instructions they sent me were pretty accurate. I guess for advice - take your time cutting (whatever you do, DON'T cut off the sub-frame mounting tabs!), Dremel tool is key, watch out for scalding melted plastic (wear long sleeves and safety glasses), and the glovebox lock is a bit tricky to reinstall. I wish I had taken helpful pictures along the way but honestly I had no idea which way it would go.

Also, RS-3 exhaust is from www.motosport.com at $430.

Cool cool, I'll try and snap some pics while installing mine in case anyone else decides to get this undertail
