$1 Undertail

[carlsbadbusa]

So I was walking through Lowes looking at some braces for my house and found this little plate, 4x6 inch plate. But what I really saw was my undertail....so instead of spending $50-80...i spent less than $1 and some common household items. Doesn't look that bad IMO and was easy and cheap to make.....Basically cut the plate to the stock fender shape, attached the plate bracket..and done...45 min...and beer money left.

Good work, Carlos. Very inventive!

Here's you ==> <== There's me

What are we doing? Toasting to your creativity over the cheap mod, and enjoying the beer you bought with the money you saved.

Cheers, bro.

Nice cheap solution
FYI - I believe most, if not all, states require a light for the plate!

I had some 1/8th inch thicl lexan laying around when i did mine. so thats what i used not only is it unbreakable but at about 100mph it tucks up against the bike real nice it does get anoying while riding down the road but i can't see it so i love when we just randomly think of something at a hardware store hey i could so use that. for what you say? i'll make a bracket out of it lol

Looks really good, did you figure out what your doing for a plate light yet

It is always nice when you can make something rather then pay for it

Don't they come free with every bike purchased?

first time I seen one of those.. I have the matchiing tank, tree and gas cap cover. the plate cover that looks like carbon fiber, would be a nice piece to get for my bike..
