Worth about as many seconds a lap as Neons mate! :lol:

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?

Why would it make for more mud up your back? There's undertails for ZXRs on eBay and I have a hugger now, doesn't it just enclose in the area under the seat?

yeah bogan when you do the fenderectomy the rear mud guard is removed and replaced by the undertray
leaving no mud guard hence when the tyre is wet it will spray up your back etc
like your old treadley when you was a kid and mum bent you ear off coz the school uniform was all muddy :twisted: :twisted:


although the description says it all really MUD FLAP
althouigh i dont wanna be wearing mud around in winter :oops: :oops:

Do you have to remove the rear mudguard when you fit the undertray? I understand that removing the guard is the blingy bit but if I wanted to just enclose in the seat area and leave the guard bolted on (at least for the time being) could I do that? It's easy to mount the plate and indicators to without having to rig up something else, and keeps the factory look going but a little neater.

umm depends on the bike.. but i doubt it...

the cbr i just cut the mudguard down...some bikes u cant do this on, some u can....

the undertray replaces the standard mudguard etc and all the original stuff comes off...

I think it's worth the undertray, the Z's have them standard, i took the mudguard off cos it looked like the bike was giving birth or something. I also took the hugger off, i rode in the wet last weekend, and you don't get that much flicked up your back. For a pillion it will be a different story. I ride my zed everyday, and on average for the amount of wet weather riding, the improvement in looks far outways the little bit of flick-up you'll get. Plus the tail on the zed is shorter than a ZX9, so in theory you should get even less again.

If you decide to go the undertray, the hugger would have to cover almost the top half of the wheel to compensate.

cheers
