drmedak Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hi I just bought a nice low mileage '99 Blackbird. The only thing on the bike that I am not crazy about is the bike came with an aftermarket fender eliminator/LED taillight replacement. The mileage is low enough and the bike is otherwise in great shape, so the taillight wasn't' a deal breaker. Can anybody identify what brand this is? It was on the bike when the PO bought it too, so he didn't know, and he liked it. Long term I'll need to know what oem parts I will need to return it to stock. The right hand bulb is burnt out as a taillight...works fine as a brake light. Needs a new bulb.

drmedak Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 After some web research, I think what I have is called an "undertray." Though I haven't seen one that matches this. Thanks again.... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Looks like a first gen Mototeck. They updated the design at one point, that's the older version. More commonly referred to as an "undertail" than "undertray". If nothing else, upgrade the LEDs in there, the Mototeck ones were notorious for being just about impossible to see, especially the turn signals.

jon haney Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 If you are going to return it to stock, you will need a whole new inner rear fender. This also includes the battery box. It's a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmedak Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Thanks....yes, a couple of sources have told me that it looks like a Mototeck. I am just not crazy about these. I just picked up a complete fender with turn signals and license bracket/light on eBay. I am going to try to return to stock....I am curious how much "customization" was done to the wiring....that'll be interesting. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
