My Powerbronze is supposed to have cleared Customs and will arrive tomorrow (Friday).

Assuming it does, and assuming I am able to get 'er installed over the weekend (got a big Boys Night poker game to attend Saturday....) I will post up some pix.

Arrived Friday as it was supposed to.

The two taillights were inside the bag/wrapping that the tail was in. The tail has major scratches. I wonder who the idiot was that packaged it that way...?

Debating:
A) Calling the Superbikestore.com on Monday, shipping it back, and waiting another month for one to arrive;
B) Rattle-canning it - <most> of it would be hidden by the license plate
C) Having a local painter fix it up.

Will sleep on it tonight, make my decision in the AM. Likely going to rattle-can it.

$179.95 US = $210.51 Australian = 111.65 Pounds = 128.85 Euros = $192.29 Canadian

Free shipping in the US - but Powerbronze is in the UK so if ordered from there the shipping ought not be too awful, except for the Aussies. Sorry, mates!

Doesn't look like it'll be hard to fit (famous last words).

I'm not worried too much about chopping it up - I'll under estimate first, it looks like there's a good portion that can overlap the existing fender, well before the fender comes around the frame toward the tail light.

Now it's next weekend's project! Rattle can Saturday, install Sunday. (I took a nap this afternoon with my 85 pound lap dog, so that was my 'sleeping on it').

Hey jblosser, sorry to hear about the damage. I ordered my powerbronze undertail in the us cause it was cheaper. So mine had quite a trip, from the uk to the us to the netherlands. Installing is very easy and cutting the same. It took me about 2 hours in total (taking my time). The only "trouble" i had was with the getting breaklight to light up properly. I was all alone and had to use a broom to operate the footbrake so my advise get a someone else to do that then it will be a peace of cake.

Here are some pics, taken from inside the shed where she sleeps. I have no new pics because the weather still isn't great. I took here out on 2 occasions but the roads were terrible (she was covered in mud).

The first one is with the brakelights on
Image

Second one with the brakelights off

Image

Last one taken from the side (in the back you can see the original fender)
Image

They provided the undertail with a licenseplateholder and it fits perfectly, I drilled 2 holes (1 in each side) in the bottompart to feed the wires from the indicators. After the first ride I noticed that the original plastic fastners (don't know the proper english term so forgive me, it looks like a nail with a spike on top with a middle piece which pops it into place, you can see one directly above the indicator) weren't strong enough so I used stainless steel screws, washers and loctite.

If your wondering, the brakelights work perfectly, I asked if they were visible enough and the answer is yes.

That undertail looks good. Anyone know if they make one that will incorporate flush mounted rear turn signals?
