Hotbodies Racing Undertail for 2008 ZX10R Installed

Well, I've been shopping around for an undertail/Fender Eliminator for the ZX10R and came to one that I really liked. What appealed to me initially was that this undertail was very aesthetically clean and really cleaned up the rear portion of the bike. However, I was very disappointed in the overall quality of the product. I did have to shave off lil plastic clips on the original rear fender *per instructions* which was a bit hairy as OEM fairings don't tend to be cheap. There were 2 pieces that was supposed to be used on the tail piece, but it would've made the hole bigger and eventually rip. Went to the hardware store and picked up a pair of bolts, nuts and washers to remedy the issue. Anyhow, all things said and done, I'm very pleased at the way it came out and install was fairly easy for those who are willing to take their time to do an undertail install. *Also having the right tools always helps.* I know these shots aren't as nice as my last pictures, but enjoy! I give this product a 3.5 stars out of 5.

Nice- I like how far outboard the signals are. On the same kit for my 05 they're about 4" apart, which I'm not crazy about. I'm going to do it anyway, but I'm pretty sure that anyone behind me will only see something flashing, they won't have any idea which way I'm turning...

Yea it does, but I didn't like it. So I went with the Competition Werkes FE for the plate.

Yeah I know what you mean. Aethestically it was very appealing, but once I looked at the quality, I was very impressed. Regardless, everything come out ok, and although it was a bit more work than I anticipated, I enjoyed the experience as well as the out come of the product.
