Default pit-eck undertray

I just finisched installing that thing and i must say that it is NOT a perfect fit item where among cutting original undertail no mods are need to be done... i'm not saying it is bad but i think that it is better to put few more quid for Hotbodies undertail.

The end result looks very nice. If you has to do some cutting to your tail, it turned out very clean!

Those cans are rotated out pretty far. I don't understand why so many people want to do away with the square RC tail lights...

I think most upgrade the rear light due to its position more so than the shape. It is clear it was an add on for the RC and in no way compliments the lines. Besides it just dangling low like it does, there is no rear "square" elements to the RC's design. Tail lamp looks like it is off a 1982 Shadow and put on the RC to meet DOT.

I think your undertail turned out pretty nice. I got a different brand, but im not exactly pleased with fit either.

sadly cans are mounted correctly, the look is caused by the fact that there is only one mounting spring(upper)witch turns cans a bit every time i ride the bike. i found users of these mufflers in Italy and it is a common problem with MiVV Titanium cans....

I really like the classic look of the square tail light. It's the same as previous RC's (30 & 45), but I find the only two undertrays to incorporate it is the Hotbodies (don't really like) and the flat one that points the light almost straight down. Not a fan of either one. I will probably get one with 2 round lights, or there is another on e-bay that has kind of a wide diamond shape led light.

i got the same tail, it fit fine, just needed new side holes drilled in it.

can't expect much from a $50 undertail or however much it costs now, but it looks good for the $

led's suck ass during the day though

I agree with this statement, as I kept this in mind when I bought my undertail which incorporates the stock taillight, and is neither the Hotbodies nor the flat one that points it straight down.

I bought the M-1 undertail that I bought off ebay a year or so ago. Can't seem to find it any longer, but it's very nice quality and I'm quite impressed.
