Default My Undertail

Since some don't know about this, I figured I'd direct you to the page that sells this product. Here you go!

The attached picture is NOT my bike, but the model used on the page. I do own this product and it's damn sexy!

You would need to ask the guy who makes them. I don't know. I ride an '04.

Wow, now that looks nice. I haven't even considered an undertail up until now because all other undertails have goofy looking tail lights. I like the fact that they keep the stock light in this configuration. Seem's pricy though, especially considering the amount of fabrication to install. Maybe it's ok though, especially considering that they include Gregg's lights with load resistors to replace the turn factory turn signals.

Did you buy one yet? What's the turn around time for the orders?

It takes about a week to 2 for shipping. The guy makes them himself. As for installing it's a bitch. It took us (Rev & I) about 5 hours to get on. You have to cut original pieces, so don't **** up! The rim tape, I also did myself.

Well I'm not fond of the 2 circle lights, so keeping the original, removing the tail and turning it into a carbon fiber back...is good enough for me.....

I completely agree with Pitsvtec on this one. I'm not a fan of the Hotbodies, et. al. undertails. The twin Volkswagon looking lights are silly. I also don't like the fact that they are painted a glossy paint under there. It's just begging to get dirty and/or scratched. The carbon fiber look of these is sweet, although $260 is pricey. Hopefully this guy will get some sort of assembly line going and the price will drop. I've emailed him a couple of times and haven't gotten a response yet.
