Author Message   Buellin_ri Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 05:23 pm:        Went to install the undertail onto the bike today and ran into yet another issue. The blinker sockets hit the luggage compartment and keep it from going up into place. WTF. So my question is.. Am I missing something? Do you have to cut up the luggage compartment? Any info, ideas, hints, ect, are welcome. Thanks.   Dago Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 05:53 pm:        Yes, you have to cut it or remove it completely. I removed mine.   Buellin_ri Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 05:58 pm:        Damn it. I really didn't want to do that. Oh well, thanks.   Diablobrian Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 06:29 pm:        any possibility of using a heat gun and molding the tray to clear the tail? Just a thought.   Buellin_ri Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 07:00 pm:        Thats a good idea, but I would have to mold it about an inch to clear the socket. I'll mess with it more this week. I think I may just drill a hole and be done with it. I'll still have a compartment (though not much of one).   Olinxb12r Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 07:46 pm:        I had the regular lights in my undertail first, and I just took the compartment out. Call Al and see if he has any of the led lights that came with mine. You could put them right over the holes from the regular lights. The leds are small enought that there isn't a clearance problem.   Yeags30 Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 09:18 pm:        if you don't do that then just hole saw the trunk...measure twice...cut once   Southern Marine Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 07:59 pm:        Dangit, that's why I had problems today. I measured once and drilled like 5 or 6 times. I had to do some makeshift fabbing of brackets for routers, switches, and filers, with limited tools. I'm interested in that tail piece, but I might need a black one because my red is dyed darker. Can you dye this tailpeice? I don't like the idea of losing more space either.

I really wanted to change the color of my bike up, but I don't have the cash for a paint job right now. I think that the undertail would come out a different color because it seems to be made out of different material. Anyone else have any thoughts about that?
