I just dont like the looks of the one on ebay. Its...eh I dunno. I haven't really seen many, except the ebay one and this one. Considering getting the latter since it looks like I can use my old clear taillight.

hey greep, when you installed that undertail, where did it relocate your seat removal device to? Was it difficult to install and how are the turn signals.

I was looking at the same one earlier today on 1tail.com

There's a spot for the lock in the bottom of the undertail.

The install is easy, the only part that's a little nerve wracking is that you have to cut the stock undertail for this one to fit. I cut mine so that I still have the little package shelf under the seat and that fits fine.

The signals work well, but I have on of the replacement blinker relay units that are time based instead of resistance based, that way they still blink at the correct rate. you can order one from http://www.customled.com/PRODUCTS/FL...sher_relay.htm

Make sure when mounting the license plate bracket you use the dimples in the ABS to place it otherwise you might get it too far back and partially block the led blinkers.

Also, the taillight is just hot glued in I would build something to hold it in better. I lost one last year and it was $50 to replace it!

That's the skinny, I really like that no one around has one like it.

I have the original eurobike undertail. I think it looks best on the red bikes with a red tail light but I think the other colors would look good with a clear light.
$189.99 - Not Painted
$239.99 - Painted to Stock Color

As SuperLoud does, I have the original Eurobike undertail, but with the clear alternatives integrated light. It was a bit of a pain to get on and I had to fab up some brackets for the rear mount because one was missing. Cleans up the tail-end nicely.
