mototeck undertail finally installed!
Have had it sitting forever and just decided to get it over with. Took only a days work. I had to buy an unpainted one from ebay and paint it myself but it came out good. Used rustoleum spray paint from Home Depot, they have a color called Chinese Red and its almost dead on our red. Installation wasnt extremely bad. The wiring diagram they give is soo far off and the leds arent that great. Glueing down the leds sucked too. Couldnt stand putting the plate at the end so I put it in closer. I guess I'll run it like that till I get a ticket lol...

looks good man i got the same thing on mine, fit and finish was great, the wiring sucked and watch out for the resistors inline of the turn signals they tend to break off and if you bypass them the led turns red instead of orange (i know from experience)
anyways looks good nothing like a hawk in the fastest color out there

Signals arent that great from a distance but somewhat visible. I def. still throw out hand signals just incase. Really was not that difficult. I used an air powered die grinder and a kitchen knife to cut it all. Took it out for a test ride with a group today and the craziest thing happened. Went out with about 15 people and one of the guys crashed and was killed on rt.915 in KY! He was way behind me and was riding above his limits to keep up and slid out and went over top of a guard rail into a creek! Still kind of shooken up about it seeing people giving him cpr for an hour. I didnt really know him, but his name is Stewart and he was in the group the AssFault Junkies. Please keep his family in your prayers...

It's a hard time of year to remember it - if you have a chance to ride - don't drink - Greg's philos on this is Not Even One! Randy has been there. And it's for real for me.
Lots of changing conditions out there. Be on top of your game or have your game on top of you!

can you take pics of under the seat, im assuming this replaces the stock stuff underneath including the battery holder. Curious about how much trunk space this gains you.. Looks great red is spot on.

Well u gain alot more space, but **** slides around too much on that huge hump. The battery box is the same. You cut just behind the box and the rest of the electronics i zip tied to the subframe. Ill post a pic soon on it. Yeah it was pretty crazy seein all that yesterday. I know that i am a different rider because of his death. It was all just so disscusting. Never ride above your limits!

I would recommend adding an integrated turn signal LED tail light; I did on mine. The angle that the LEDs shine on the mototeck makes them really hard to see during from directly behind the day.
Also I agree on the plate - kept mine up front for a bit, but finally put it back when I went up to Americade. Too many cops during that event.
