$100 for shipping :?
These are parts from the GS500R body kit that Aluizio Motors sells out of Brazil. Check out all the options at:
http://www.aluiziomotos.com.br/v3/en/PersonalizacoesDetalhe.asp?PERS_COD=PERS000018
The full GS500R kit is about $900
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?
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...
Quote from: dolepineapple2xs: does that mean that it will only fit with the gs500r kit?
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
dolepineapple, the undertail kit will fit any year/model...if that's what you were asking.
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.
http://www.gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11928&highlight=paint+scheme
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
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,
joel

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.
jetswing: I KNOW!
cchinox22x: no, it's just for an undertail. . .not an undertail exhaust. . .
Quote from: chinox22xi 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:
Accually I believe Undertail Kit does refer to the exhaust being under the tail. What your talking about is a Fender Eliminator Kit.
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 :)
under tail = a place under the tail
undertail exhaust = an exhaust canister under the tail
undertail = a plastic piece that replaces the stock and looks better...sometimes comes with signals moulded into the undertail and has a replacement tail light
thank you GRU
for clearing that up for everyone
regardless,
it's sexy and all this talk about undertails is REALLY going to make me get it!
OH GOD
SO MUCH MODS TO DO!
I want to get that for my bike to. I am going to ask them if they can ship the rear hugger and undertail together. They sometimes have offered the undertail/hugger combo on ebay as a single auction. It would be worth it to get both, especially as they are designed specifically for this bike and come painted however you want.
They are a realatively small company. I know the fairing kits are made to order. That's why they require 50% down on those.
Factory pics:

They also have a full text cover story from MOTO y Tecnica magazine posted too. Unfortunately it's in Portuguese :dunno:
http://www.aluiziomotos.com.br/v3/en/MateriaDetalhe.asp?REVI_COD=REVI000001
At least SOMEONE is making aftermarket stuff of great quality. I plan on buying from them for that reason alone, plus I like to support independents :cheers:
i don't mean to be a tease,
but i may have some really really REALLY good news for everyone regarding doing business with this company
if everything falls thru smoothly,
I'll post the results
but let's just say
that i'm just about ready to pay these people to make me an undertail for my F!!!!
News to come
Cheers,
joel
now, that's what i call a tease! :nono: i want to know every little detail...
ok, so what's the update? stop teasing, I'm itching to get a new tail and hugger for my bike and am watching carefully
FINE! here's the news that i just got confirmation on a few minutes ago (sorry for the tease, but i had to let everyone know the status)
-Joel,
You got it !!!! This promotion (which is the undertail, shipped AND painted whatever colour your bike is for $200 USD) is because we know the quality of our fairings..... and we know that if you have a gs500, you won't find a better looking undertail for it. We hope that you will pass the word around in your town or forum rooms in the internet. Please allow
about 4 weeks for shipping. Also, send your complete ship to address
and name the city, state and zip code. Paypal doesn't name and
sometimes is confusing to pass this information in portuguese. Hope
hear from you soon.
AND HERE IS THE BEST PS I HAVE EVER RECEIVED ON ANY EMAIL-->
Ps: What about if i add the rear hugger for just $50.00 ?? Packed in
one box, so you just pay one duty? Let me know.... and I loved your
page!!! very nice.
there it is folks!
a rear hugger and an undertail for $250 USD shipped
i'm a little skeptical about this deal
because it sound just way too good to be true
but i think it's the fact that they have a full website to back up this email that sells me
i'm going to pay him by this friday (payday) and i'll keep everyone posted on this!
maybe if you refer me if you ever order this (JOECISA@peoplepc.com), you might get a discount!
there's an idea. . .
cheers,
joel
i think someone here has actually ordered the full fairing from them and did in fact receive it.
Quote from: jiggersplati think someone here has actually ordered the full fairing from them and did in fact receive it.
yea, their credibility probably isn't the issue here...though reliability and quality might be unknown yet...
Quote from: dolepineapplePs: What about if i add the rear hugger for just $50.00 ?? Packed in one box, so you just pay one duty?
but what's up with paying duty?? anyone have any explanation?
i noticed that the kit doesn't have any turn signals. are the signals integrated into the tail light? or are we going to have to purchase a fender eliminator kit also?
you don't need to get a fender eliminator but you do need a set of turn signal lights
oh i wish they were integrated
that would be CRAZY!
but i'm just going to reuse the signals i already have on my bike
(little ones that came with the fender eliminator)
hmmmm
now i wonder where the fender eliminator would mount
oh crap
something i overlooked
ummm...am i missing something here? once you install the kit, there won't be any fender to eliminate! the kit comes with a plate mount where you'll install your plate and the signal lights...so no fender elminator kit is needed!
OH AWESOME!
so maybe i'll sell my fender eliminator kit!
i didn't know or i can't see from the pics on the ebay listing where the license plate is supposed to mount on. . .do you see it?
plate is not mounted on any of their pictures for obvious reasons...but if you look at the image below, you see the plate mount piece.
(http://i12.ebayimg.com/03/i/02/50/e3/38_12_s.JPG)
dolepineapple, if you like you could use your fender eliminator kit you already have. i'm just saying for people who doesn't have a fender eliminator kit, there's no need to get one.
oh by all means
if i once this is all installed and the plate is mounted,
i'm probably going to sell this fender eliminator kit locally here, in toronto for anyone that wants it
it fits on a 2001-2004 GS500 AND GSXR 1000
so there ya go
thanks so much for your input JetSwing
this is going to be GREAT
i'm ordering by this Friday
and then it's a LONG 4 week wait
(they have to make it, paint it black to match my bike and ship it)
i'm SOOOOOOOO excited
i'll keep everyone posted
Done!
just ordered the undertail and rear hugger for $250 USD shipped
estimated time for shipping is 4 to 5 weeks because they have to make it and paint it black for me
now the waiting time begins!
i hate this time
cheers,
joel
awesome :thumb:
should have ordered one for me too... :roll:
WOW!
check out these pics!
http://www.gleamers.org/gs500/
JetSwing is a lucky man with a wicked camera!
i'm getting the same undertail/rear hugger in the mail this week,
hopefully
i'll take pics too and hopefully compile some installation
instructions with pictures. . .
cheers,
joel
now that looks awesome!
Quote from: jusAgsnow that looks awesome!
ARRRRRG...
well, you can make just about anything look good with some good lighting and a nice camera...
i think i'm going crazy...ok...i've started installing them and it's not going too well. i'll just leave it at that for now....and write up a report after i'm done.
dumb undertail :x
dumb hugger :x
and now he's making me nervous
cause i'm yet to receive mine. . .
hey jetswing,
did you tell them that you have a 2001?
cause i specifically emailed them that i have a 2004 F
shouldn't make much of a difference,
right?
cheers,
joel
2001 and up are all same...
i figured. . .
cheers,
joel
Hows it goin Jet? If you can get it on the '01 (same as mine) I may just order that off my next paycheck...
daniely: jetswing was telling me via PM that the installation process is HELL! wait until he writes it all up and responds to this post. . .
most likely,
it'll turn off most people from ordering it,
from what he's told me so far
cheers,
joel
Quote from: DanielyHows it goin Jet?
i will be done by this weekend...and it WILL look hot if i have anything to do with it. so far it's only been a huge pain in the ass...but if you like a challenge, go right ahead and get one. it will look better than the stock when everything is set and done.
i will post some picture this weekend...
Quote from: dolepineapplemost likely,

i don't think you have to worry about that cause i haven't seen a soul order one yet (except just us).
i know. . .
we both feel like a freakin pioneers!
i'll send pics too when i'm done with it. . .
:o
Let me know how hard it is. I was going to order this weekend.
if you look at that first picture on page 1, the back shot....look at the gaps around the edges! doesn't look like a very good fit. It does look nice, but for that kind of $$$ I would expect better.
keep me posted
the undertail is installed...have to take some pictures. i will post them along with my comments tomorrow.
Be sure to let us know about the D&D. That is one beautiful exhaust!!
The suspense is killing me....... :dunno:
What a LOOOOOONNNNNNNNG day its been. Whens tomorrow.
hahahaha...hold your horses :mrgreen:
jetswing: i'm dying here too man. . .
i just emailed the guy and asked him why mine is taking so god damn long and he told me the fuggin package was retained by customs!
what the hell is going to happen now?
cheers,
joel
Quote from: dolepineapplei just emailed the guy and asked him why mine is taking so god damn long and he told me the fuggin package was retained by customs!

Quote from: What a LOOOOOONNNNNNNNG day its been. Whens tomorrow.
it has been a loooong day...i'll post some pictures tonight!
the guy from the shop said he's going to call customs for me
cause i can't speak their language. . .

ahahahha
cheers,
joel
:lol: :lol: :lol:
as long as i got my cocaine...
oh, i thought it was held at the canadian customs... :dunno:
i guess i was the lucky one...

LOL!! haha, yeah. Get a bigger engine, its slow.
thanks for your patience everyone...
i've made a new thread for the review and some pictures. please post your feedback there.

The flush mount signals that would fit a GSXR, would fit my GS; and same goes for a fender eliminator and signal kit? They both would fit? If so, consider this on my list of things to do.
