Heads Up if your considering to purchase any products from Hot Bodies racing your wasting your money i purchased a rear tire hugger the chain guard rub on the chain , I got a second replacement same results when i made contact with them there response was thats no big deal drill the hole bigger for the holes to align, i did and same results chain rubbed on chain guard. This product sucks especially for 190.00 and the paint job sucks to believe me orange peels on black is bad and there Customer service suck's to i recommend not to buy there products not with poor qualityl like that.:machinegu

If your considering to purchase Pig Spotters from ST Machines dont do it there mirror are scracthed up or scuffed on the paint job. There are only black or polished , If you order black your guaranteed to get them scuffed or scracthed i ordered one, In one month i exchanged them four times until i got the last one still scuffed up i got it repainted so did other riders that ride with me nice looking mirror but bad quality paint, If you plan on keeping them be ready to fork out money to get them painted like i did.:dollar

You should have checked here first before you made the purchase and found that out without loosing money. With that said, I see that your from around the Diego area (right?). You should have tried Catalyst Racing. They are around your area (San Marcos I believe) and have heard nothing but good things about the quality and finish of their products. I myself am about to get some upper race fairing and a lower from them. Maybe even thier carbon fiber undertail. Here's their website incase your wondering.:beer

I bought some polished pig spotters from St machines and they were garbage. It was the worst polishing jobs I have ever seen.

I purchased an undertail from hotbodies for my '03 over the summer and i really like the design with the l.e.d. turnsignals but i also thought the paint job kinda sucked too. If you look real close it's a shade off also, but none of it really bothers me that much because it's pretty much under the bike.
I also got some hotbodies flushmount l.e.d. front signals. They look really nice from a distance but there not FLUSH!

Yes- buyer beware. :boom :fingr:
