I once had an 86 GSRX 750 that I bought a Kerker White Tip pipe for. Until this point I have NEVER found anything to go on a motorcycle that was a bigger piece of shit....that is until this Ermax Undertray. The finish is nice. Silver paint matches mine just fine, but NONE of the holes match up. Not to mention the damn thing is molded "crooked". I suppose who ever was working the press mold that day had too much champagne the night before. Since it took me 2 months to get the damn thing I don't think I'll be sending it back simply because I would like to ride sometime this year. Anyone have any suggestions for ANY undertray other than this piece of shit ERMAX I have? Or should I just forego the undertray, go buy another stock one (since I had to cut mine to get this total piece of shit to work.) and send ERMAX the F%^$ing bill?

Almost forgot.....WTF was Suzuki thinking with those little black push pin pop rivet things? I suppose if I could read Kanji characters it would make sense. I'm not shittin ya, I know I have some bucks in this SV but I swear to god I'll go trade it in on something else if I ever have to take the rear end off again.

Moral of the story - ERMAX undertray.....don't do it.

Calm down Ricky...... the poppers are simple. Pop the middle in to remove, once removed push them right back from the other side.

To replace place it in the hole then push the middle back in flush.

I think Honda use the same ones.

Powerbronze are now in production and considering that they cost about 1/3 the price of the Ermax (which I've also seen and fully agree about) are a reasonable deal. They're also easy to fit as once your rear mudguard has been removed you can fit a Powerbronze with no cutting and no dismantling (other than removing the poppers!) :D

Did you get a Powerbronze u/tray? If so I hope it's a better standard than the screen and hugger I got from them. I too was taken with the reasonable prices...................now I know why. I have fitted many a screen to bikes over the years, mine and others, but the Powerbronze screen is the poorest excuse for a fit I've seen to date. The hugger is well down the quality list as well, though not as bad as the screen............

Just thinking..........the FSD tray that I got had no holes, wrongly placed or otherwise, I didn't think any thing of it till now I just picked up the drill and did the deed. I suppose no holes are better than badly placed ones. :blink:

Hey BigThumpa,

Have you actually got the Powerbronze thing? Is it the tail-guard or a proper undertray?

I sent them some emails a few weeks back and the tail-guard DOES require some cutting. Does look quite good though and was seriously considering it although its not a full undertray replacement.

NoNoRicky,
Seems like you got a "friday afternoon" version .I've got the Ermax undertray,fitted in about three hours,everything lined up as well as I expected. :) ,only downside is that the paint chips very easily.

Regarding the screens,I have had a tinted "double bubble" on order with Crescent Suzuki since the end of May,But they have said that everytime they receive a batch the bloody things won't fit so they are not sending them out to customers.

At least there is some form of quality control in place.

Still wan't my screen though :(
