HotBodies Undertail - ADR compliant?

[Rainbow7]

(I used the search function but couldn't find an answer.)

I recently ordered the HotBodies undertail for my '06 Busa. The sales guy told me that I could use it...but I can't find anything about whether or not it will meet ADR compliance.

Does anyone know?

I have found a couple of Aussie forums where they say the rule is that there must be a minimum angle of 45 degrees between your rear axle and the bottom of your license plate. Does that mean that if I fit the undertail (and a hugger) and the angle is above 45 degrees, I could simply bolt an extender (i.e. a piece of plastic/aluminium) onto the bottom of the undertail and then attach the plate to that?

I'm probably going to order a copy of the ADR CD-ROM but I just wanted to see if anyone here has any knowledge of the subject.

The undertail, the tail lamp and the turn signals for this undertail are not ADR compliant

Ok...good to know.

- It would have been good if Mat Mladin actually said that on his website!

Is there anything I can do to make it compliant? Like, if I put an aftermarket (i.e., smaller than OEM) fender eliminator on, one with LED turn signals and the plate mounted on that, would I then pass ADR?

ADR is a pain in the ass. Most states have there own rules as well. NSW rules are that your plate must be visible from 45 degrees (both verticle and horizontal) and your indicators have to be a certain distance apart (30 cm I think).
All new bikes have those fugly plastic extensions on the back of them to comply with ADR's. So any modification to the back of your bike (fender eliminator, tail tidy, new blinkers etc) are all illegal.
Now the good news. As long as your plate is visible, not tucked up under your tail in front of your rear wheel, it can be seen from 45 degrees to the side (if its far enough forward you get free road tolls) you have working brake lights and blinkers and your plate is visible at night most cops wont fine you for it. They either dont know or dont care about such small rules. How ever watch out for the 1% that are bike haters. Both my bikes have fender eliminators.
my 10 cents.

Changing tail lamp with a Non-ADR one may cause issues with Insurance if there is a smash!!!!!!!

Particularly if you get rear-ended.

Not to mention having your bike impounded under the Hoon Laws. Not sure of the full storey but a BKing has been confiscated after the guy had 3 warnings for a fender elliminator and aftermarket pipes.

Lots of other storeys about minor infringements turning in to a disaster. 4WDer labelled as a hoon for his oversized tyres.

I'm not saying it's wrong it right just that there is a risk when modifying these days.
