Tiger Tail??? Are you kidding me??
$119 for this POS.?? WTF am I supposed to do with my bikes ECU? Just let if flop around?
I have to say the only thing this "undertail" does correctly is secure the tail light. Otherwise, I think its junk.
I should have trusted my instincts and made my own.
Minor install frustrations include;
-Arbitrarirly doing away with plug holders and ECU mounts
-Ill fitting, unfinished edges need to be sanded/deburred before install.
-Leaves the underside and sensitive electronic components completely exposed to the exterior elements
-1/2 assed blinker provisions that may work with some fabrication
-NO INSTRUCTIONS
-Mystery holes drilled whereever
-Opens area beneath gas tank, so bolts fall into a dark "abyss". Requires 15mins of disassembly to get one screw
-Did I mention it was unsecure for storage?
-Forces creative license plate fabrication
-Deletes over 60% of available trunk space and guarantees no room for a 2lb nitrous bottle, let alone a few 1lb'ers. (or even airshifter tanks!)
-NOT Streetbike compatible, imho
All and all, this product rates a solid -2 on a 1-10 scale!
Sorry but this does not cut it. I expected this to be 1/2 way decent, since the Busa one looked nice. THis is pure garbage!
I dislike the Tiger tail so much, Im gonna throw it in the trash as soon as I find another suitable undertail. I wouldnt want to sell it to anyone.
I dont have any pictures yet, but here is some from Schnitz
Notice the 2 connectors hanging down. WTF are you supposed to do with those? Let em dangle ? Nice engineering work there! :roll:

I had mine powdercoated black, at least it looks sweet! I would say this is a Race Only Application. due to the above stated reasons. I do like mine though but I will let you know how it works on the track!
