Not sure if this belongs in the Garage or in the Sales section. Does anyone have any knowledge on this undertail? Sounds like a good concept - includes the entire fender - may avoid clearance problems with a hugger???

Amazing that I have not heard of this guy before since he is right in my back yard almost. I know most all the Blackbird owners in this area and have a small booth set up at bike night every friday night, with my Blackbird always present.
I am going to give him a call and find out the details and maybe distribute them if they are any good. I have the moto-tech undertail to compare it to so will see if it is garbage or not. I will let you know of what I find out.
He is from Pembrook Pines which is about 3 miles from where I live.

Hopefully he has better tailight options than the Mototek.

I sent this guy an e-mail a while back since i felt 300+ for a mototek was a bit steep for my budget...He has a brother in brazil or some south american country that makes them...he e-mailed me more info :

Something looks odd in that pic. The hugger looks like a photoshop fix.

it does have a weird proportion to it. The pixels don't look doctored when you zoom in with photoshop. I'm just wondering why so cheap compared to everything else. Too good to be true?
