Thats another nice one, good find. none of us know what Jim is doing, he is more secretive than Honda motor company ROFLMFFAO

That's pretty nice looking, not for me I don't think (especially at that price), but nice nonetheless.

That end is for the 02 or 04 and ups (When they changed from the bumblebee tail to the current set up). They come with built in led turn signals, or you can get them with out for a bit cheaper. From what I understand though, they are not a good fit. They are to shart, and leave some open area near the battery area, and the workmanship is not all the great. I have some pics around here of a guy that changed out his tail to one of those. Once the board is back to running normal, I will post them in here.

All these gadgets for the 98+'s WOW. I need to start old school stuff.

Very nice.

Doesn't anyone else think it looks like a sad face?

[WildKat]

i got ya on this beekman, it definately resembles someone who's not too happy!! maybe if it had a paint job, that might brighten up its day.

I am not THAT secretive!

These have been on the market for a while now. The guy mostly deals on eBay and I have even bought one of his undertails.
They are made of fiberglass, come with no instructions or hardware and he is even less sociable than I am if that's possible. I will say that his product and paint quality is very nice. I "deconstructed" the one I bought from him to see what and how it was made (blown in fiberglass with a skim coat of bondo BTW). IMO, not worth what he is charging but still nice for the money.

[opens door to top secret lab] I have been working on an undertail for the 98-02 models for a while now and have been putting some serious time into it recently. My ABS plastic undertails are almost complete and will be going out for testing in the next 1-2 weeks. Pricing hasn't been determined but they are expected to come in under $100 [/closes door to top secret lab]

So will these fit the '03 Kats since the tailight area is different? Just curious, can't wait to see the final product!

i'm jealous man, i want one for the 04s!! but, i suppose i will get over it and eventually be patient enough for one to come out.

Jesters are always making jokes.

[Haggisman]

and for all who think that they will buy one and just change the rear end to an 03-04.......that doesn't work.....trust me....

[ThAzKat]

I now your aren't secretive Jim but you are working on some amazing stuff.

So if I can't go from 03 to 04 then a 97 won't go to a 03?? <laughing out loud>
