Title: undertail kit bundle from aluizio - now cheaper!
Post by: JetSwing on December 16, 2004, 07:03:53 AM
they've just put up an undertail kit bundle (includes the hugger) with free shipping to the us and canada. this is the identical deal that dolepineapple had recieved. now it's available to everyone.

se7enty7, that's a good question...it's really hard tell from the photos they have on their site. dolepineapple have ordered one about a week ago and i just ordered one also. i'm trying not to have too high of expectations. they do have pictures for all model years.

hey, i see they also now have a "back end kit" for pre-01 models.  it's the rear frame cover, undertail, lights and hugger.  $400 is still a bit pricey though.  at least i think it is... i'll see where i end up by the time i get all the 2001+ parts to do the swap.  if this were out before i started accumulating 01+ parts i might have considered it.

Those gouging bastards should make the pre--01's the same price.  It's not like they don't have the molds already made and it's not like they take any more effort to produce.   :guns:

EDIT:  The nice people at Aluizio are not gouging bastards.  I was too quick to judge.  I hate it when I do that.  :oops:

nono... you need to go look at it.  it replaces your rear frame cover parts with ones that look more like the 01+ models.  AND you get the hugger and undertail.

You're right.  I'm wrong.  I misread the description. :)

GOOD GOD that was hard
i wanted to simply 'borrow' the pictures from that brazilian site by copying the html link for the pics
but they very cleverly disabled the right click button on the picture and the freakin link to the enlargement

so i had to go into html coding for the entire page (which gladly, they didn't hide as well)
and manually copy the links from there
(harder than you think!)

here is the undertail kit and rear hugger on the same colour/bike as mine:

This appears to be the rear kit for the older model. Check out how the seat meets the fuel tank and the side panels extend under the rear of the tank. That's old school GS there... But where is the grab handle?

Sorry I couldn't figure out how to show the photo on the board...

that is for pre 01 models...so the side body panels are replaced too...they probably got rid of grab handle all together...

here's one more in black:

WOW
that is a stunning rear end
but i think it's the fat rear tire that does it for me
unless someone can confirm that it IS indeed the stock rear tire

cheers,
