Newbie with an '03 Superhawk, actually my evil spawn purchased this in '03 and has now decided he wanted a 'Busa - so I decided why not.
Minor upgrades include the Erion pipes, fender eliminator, heli-bars and flush mounts. Next upgrade is a custom seat and a change in gearing.
I have ridden enough cruisers in my day so the v-twin is nothing new, but I will say that riding a sportbike in traffic takes my riding experience to a new level. Now I just need to learn how to drag my knee.

it's not an undertail, it's more of a fender eliminator - if I remember correctly it was made using a Weller soldering gun and a large Exacto blade - it's a little rough
like I said I got this from my son who mounted the plate under the seat (but local law enforcement) said it has to be more visible
anyway I'll get a couple pics
