 Yes, it appears that the undertail fad has (thankfully) gone away as quickly as it came. I never liked them, but I can't really say why. After reading about them, I like them even less. Good riddance.

| Unfortunately the new Shiver and Street Triple have the under seat exhaust.

| It's my understanding that it was MUCH more expensive to have an aftermarket undertail exhaust intalled than the standard side can design.

| Since when did a mfg ever care what aftermarket prices were? I figure they got away from the can under the seat because there were few advantages and it would cost more to make the bike that way. Usually the cheapest design wins; failing that the next cheapest design that "looks cool." Cool being a very subjective thing and all.
