That comment might hurt the resale...

Seriously though, Are you connecting the undertail to the tail or the black plastic tray? If you can see where I'm going with this, you want to connect it to the tail in at LEAST 4 places if not 6.

The undertail is bolted to the subframe. This undertail is just not that great and I'm looking to get a new one.

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my post, I'm not looking to straighten this undertail, I'm looking to replace it.

Any suggestions on a good replacement undertail?

Your exhaust is off too. You want to sell it?

My hotbodies one fit pretty well, and I've only heard good things about them aside from the lights.

I've got a Hotbodies as well that fits straight. Yes, the lights suck. Supposedly they upgraded them through the production years (mine is probably a first generation SP2 undertail). I'm kind of holding out for CBR400's $160 light replacements, but they practically need to reach out and stop the car behind me for that price. We'll see.

Seriously, though, I don't think there's anything wrong with Hotbodies. It's probably one of the few companies still making tails for these bikes yet.

Undertails are gay. I thought everyone here knew that.

Hot bodies is the only way to go IMO.

If you interested shoot me an email at joh02591@umn.edu and Ill ask my friend how much he'd sell his used one for and/or get you a great price on a new one.

Should I just leave all the wires and shit hanging out the back? Would that be not-gay?
