$100 for shipping  

[2xs]

These are parts from the GS500R body kit that Aluizio Motors sells out of Brazil.  Check out all the options at:

The full GS500R kit is about $900

[dolepineapple]

ouch
that's killer shipping
AND it's in freakin USD!

GRRRRRRRRRR

2xs:  does that mean that it will only fit with the gs500r kit?

[JetSwing]

i really don't think that the shipping is that bad. i'm most concern about the build quality. i really don't want spend $300 and find out that it fits like crap. i've asked for some hi-res picture of the undertail installed. instead they've sent me an installation manual with more fuzzy pictures...

Honestly, I don't know.  The quantities they post as being "available" makes me wonder if they are a really small firm hand making each one.  It looks like they've done a few according to their pictures, but each one looks a little custom in comparison to the other.  the "GSR" logo even looks like a GSXR where they cut the GSX off and removed the X and then centered the GS under the R.  It'd be interesting to find someone who bought it.

Take a look at thier Brazil site and browse the entire parts list for the kits and see if the undertail will work without the other parts.

thanks 2xs. . .
will do and i'll post the results here when i get a response from them

[JetSwing]

dolepineapple, the undertail kit will fit any year/model...if that's what you were asking.

[dolepineapple]

jetswing:  i sorta just missed reading that!  DOH!  Thanks jetswing. . .i'm just a little skeptic about that $100 USD shipping

that sounds a little too steep

and it makes me wonder if by summer next year, some other company in the states will make an undertail kit for the F and i'll be kicking myself for getting it

then again, the tail lights on this looks exceptionally great:

Check out this link. Someone from this site has the front fairing kit installed on his bike. could ask him how shipping and installation was.

thanks so much man. . .

i'll ask him too
(maybe he got it from someone else)

$300 for a painted undertail is a great price even for a gixxer...

i don't think the're a small company....i saw their work more than a year ago and they still do it so i'm quessing the gs500 is a popular bike in brazil

[dolepineapple]

hmmmmmm

i'm not sure

i researched on
www.hotbodiesracing.com
for undertails and they go for $220 USD

oh crap
that doesn't include shipping
but i'm sure it'll be under $100!

guess i'll just have to think about it first

cheers,

i seriously doubt that will happen. we'll be lucky if we even get a slipon pipe!

i thought this was a TAIL kit and not an UNDERTAIL Kit....


as far as i know undertail refers to the exhaust being mounted under the tail...like the cbr's.

[dolepineapple]

jetswing:  I KNOW!

cchinox22x:  no,  it's just for an undertail. . .not an undertail exhaust. . .

[JetSwing]

i thought this was a TAIL kit and not an UNDERTAIL Kit....

tail kit = undertail kit
we're talking about the same thing. and undertail kit has nothing to do with the exhaust....kinda confusing  :lol:

[zukiGS500]

Accually I believe Undertail Kit does refer to the exhaust being under the tail. What your talking about is a Fender Eliminator Kit.

[JetSwing]

well, a fender eliminator kit only involves a license plate holder and/or turn signal lights, nothing too major. whereas an undertail kit includes the underneath body panel, a new wicked tail light and maybe some other crazy shiat...and the undertail exhaust is refers to as undertail exhaust or you can call it a crazy custom undertail exhaust
