I just got mine undertail in the mail today. It looks good. I have the ebay intergrated taillight. It fits ok. there is a small gap on each side of the light.. but not that bad. I can't wait to install it.

Buying my undertail within the next week or so! I have wanted one for awhile. Finally have the funds! I think im going to paint a custom pattern on the undertail. Solid Red or black looks awesome but I might do a combo with Red and Black! What do you guys think? Also, This tail light with integrated signals some of you have mentioned as being awesome and really bright, where are you getting this? PimpBikes? I was concerned that taking the signals off would really cut down my visibility. Thanks

Either the clear alternatives integrated light or a slightly cheaper volar integrated light. Both are OEM size and quite visible. The only difference between the 2 is that I believe that the clear alternatives light has a bit more LED's, but dont quote me on that. D2moto.com carries the volar light and they are a really amazing online company to do business with.

The ebay light bought is the same as D2moto. It's pretty bright inside my basement. I haven't seen it outside yet in the sunlight. I hope it's bright enought to be seen in daylight.
Has anyone had any issues being seen with this light?

Yes I ordered one from D2moto (great site coupon codes up the a$$) it was the tinted one and the signals take up half of the fixture when lit.

Mine came with two small L brackets... but I bought a single piece one from ebay for $10. I could have made one I guess.

its pretty easy to make a plate holder like redz' with a jigsaw and some metal. while your at it, you can make a whole undertail too:
