Newbie question

New to the site, been lingering in the shadows for a bit. I own a 1997 VTR (Firestorm) and I am in the process of adding some minor cosmetic mods to the bike. I had two questions.

1) Has anyone ordered from http://www.madmattsmotorcycles.com/ before? I am looking at purchasing a belly pan from them. (Or if anyone knows of a North American Distributer of Skidmarx belly pans).

2) From my understanding, the Superhawk remained pretty much unchanged throughout its run. I like the looks of the mototeck undertail, but it is listed as a 1998-2004. Does that mean it will not fit the 1997 without a large amount of modification?

Appreciate any input.

The VTR was not sold in the USA till 98, this is why it is listed as those years. There are no differences between your 97 and the 98-2000 years. (in 2001 they changed a bit, but even then the undertail would be the same.).

Makes sense now... thanks for the input.
