As title really , I'm after peoples recommendations on best looking / best quality fitting rear undertray sets.

Who has what on their bike and let's see what it looks like.


Which are plastic and which are fibreglass , which looks nicest , which comes with better lamps etc...

All opinions greatly appreciated as I need to start making my mind up which way to go... the stock rear end is ruining the look of my bike. lol


Many thanks in advance , Doog.

 

You got split-seat or banana seat?

 

Sorry yeah , it's a split seat.

(in UK , F's are banana and F-sport's are split , I forgot to mention that).

 

I'm a fan of undertails. Just because I hate hate the fender look. However, cops in the states will not hesitate to pull you over if they "can't read your plate". I just shaved of about 6 inches from my fender, and just moved the stock plate bracket up. Looks better and is still totally legal.

 

Doog, I have a split-seat tail. I installed the CompetitionWerkes Fender Eliminator. Looks just like the one in this pic... 2001, 2002, 2003 Honda F4i Standard Fender Eliminator . Its a high quality product made w/ stainless steel. It installs exactly as it should & really dresses up the tail of the bike. You retain the factory inner-fender/battery tray but cut it back to install the FE. I've written about my CWFE here on the forum b/f & included pics.

The kit allows reuse of the factory tail light, which mounts to the inside of the FE & illuminates the license plate thru a louver in front of the plate...or, you can mount an aftermkt plate light, your choice.

The license plate & rear signal brackets remove easily for trackdays.

Unlike some undertails/FE's the CWFE imho provides a structural aspect to the tail due to its rigid/solid construction.

The CWFE is easy to duplicate if you want to attack a homemade project. I made my own version for my banana seat tail b/f converting to split-seat. However, when I installed the split-seat, I was pressed for time & just purchased the CWFE.

My ultimate point is... You can go wrong w/ the CWFE. ;-)

Hope whatever choice you make suits your needs. Good luck.

 

That's mine. I've only seen one other person on here with it and I really like it. I honestly don't even know the name or brand of it.

It's fiberglass and fully integrated and I have a side bracket so my license plate is underneath my exhaust off my axle nut.

I love it like that, but I've been told it's illegal but I've never been pulled over for it.

 

Some fantastic info there so far , thanks guys!

Does anyone have any experience of powerbronze eliminators to share? As I've been offered one and wondered what they are like.

 

My cheapa$$ would suggest: Spend $10 at HomeDepot and make your own undertail with some $5 LED strip style turn signals on ebay, and if you're still not happy you can always upgrade to the pricey fiberglass/plastic undertails later.

There are many writeups on the cheapy fender eliminators including the one on my sig. Note: i have since tossed
the fugly stalk style signals and got some 6 inch LED flex strips, similar to these but not as long.. They are super bright, no current pictures though.

Anything is better than the stock undertail.

 

Really concise write up on that custom eliminator , many thanks.

 

I have the Hotbodies undertail on mine that came with the bike.
It is built really well with no problems and is very flush and smooth, the only reason I wouldn't have chose that one myself is because of the tail lights, they're not bad but I just hate the way they look with the two round lights personally.
I think the banana seat lights look good though.
