Gump Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 drill a small hole below the light socket to route the two remaining wires thru...i think they say leave out the light socket to route the wires thru but i'd rather put the other light socket back in to prevent it from getting flooded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 put the lock into the sucky hole provided by Artfibras. it is a stretch and i don't know why they put it there. it rubs on the bike frame a bit. i had to bend the bracket a tad.

Gump Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 this shows the little hole the undertail sits on. the wiring box thing and the relays slide over the metal tabs provided on the undertail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmagicglock Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 nice write up, how come it took so long to ship? did you buy it from europe? They love naked streetbikes over there... when I had my zr7s that was the only place I could find aftermarket parts for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 clip the wire connects off of the original tailight and wire them where they need to go on the two integrated wires then throw the cowling back on. The tray they give you sits as shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 the undertail has some tabs that insert into the cowling. It didn't line up perfectly but works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) i did not use the resistors that came with the integrated tail light. they are not needed and if you do install they get very hot. All they do is slow down the blink. I did not use the bracket that Artfibras supplied. the holes did not line up with the license plate or any other holes? Must be for a european plate? Over all i'm happy with it. All the nuts and bolts used were from the original shovel. Edited October 1, 2009 by Gump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there might be one other undertail available for it but i can't remember the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
