Default Help! Lost Undertail

Just bought a 2005 ZX6R 636 with a hotbodies exhaust on it. Somewhere during a couple hour ride, the undertail came off the bike. I haven't found a place that will sell the piece without the exhaust coming with it. $550 is a lot for an undertail...




Any ideas??

I called hotbodies and they said the parts are discontinued. They have a couple full systems in stock but that puts me back at buying the $700 system again. I don't need the exhaust, just the undertail that comes with it.. sigh

I'm thinking making one is my only option. Does anybody have an undertail that they think would be able to fit? Any 636 undertail should fit, but I need to be able to cut 2 holes in it.

Anybody have any idea which undertail could work??

make a template out of sheet metal or aluminum then break out the glass. the holes will be easy to make.

hmm, maybe I am not 100% sure on what a hotbodies exhaust looks like.
