Hot Bodies Undertail

Hey guys,

I was looking into buying a Hot Bodies Undertail for my SV. I know I don't need it but I wants it.



Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had this undertail and how they mounted their license plate? I realize it comes with brackets, I'd just like to see it done.

OR, if you want to try and persuade me into another undertail feel free...

Thanks!

Mitch

I must admit that that is a nice fitting tail. I have seen many that just dont do it IMO.

But that is very nice.

Seen this on an SV in France and it looked so sweet

From memory the number plate was about in the line between the indicators dropped down a bit so you could see the indicators.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the comments. I did find a few pictures last night:





I wanted to see the plate closer to the taillights like igor mentioned, I want to see the Hot Bodies mounting hardware in effect.

I wanted one of these too, I was wondering how often you would get pulled over with one of these, especially the ones that tuck theplate behind the wheel. I saw a really nice stainless steel looking one, I think hotbodies racing made it. Anyone who has had one or mounted one care to comment? I have an 06 650S

Hey,

As far as the license plate goes... I think that in Canada if just has to be viewable from x amout of feet. Something like 25 feet. So they can't critique where the license plate is mounted.

As far as the indicators, I have the integrated Clear Alternatives and small bulbs running so I would replace the bulbs with the undertail. I haven't been pulled over about mine before and the undertail would be the same.

Hey,

What do you guys think of this?

Here's how I mounted the license plate:

Homemade bracket. I did this for 2 reasons:
-I didn't want to drill holes in the undertray
-The brackets that came with the undertray didn't match the existing holes in the license plate.

Wow... That's awesome. I might have to do that.

I also don't want to drill holes into my undertail. That seems kinda... dumb.

I am debating putting it infront of the rear wheel. But, I am confident I will get hassled for that. But, it will clean up the back end quite nicely. I will have to check the local laws and regulations on the license plate location.

I will consider your mount, it's a good idea. What type of metal did you use? How'd you make it?

Thanks,

Mitch

It's stainless steel.
Just a bent tube, flattened in the end that mounts to the passenger footpeg bracket in order to drill holes in it.
There's a small plate mounted behind the license plate, welded to the tube, to make the license plate mounting easier.
Also there's a brace on the inside of the bend (partly visible on the pic below)
