Hey guys,

Looking for some feedback.

Will the newer 01'+ style tail light bolt right up to an 93'?  Would it look out of place?

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback so far but I'm referring to the stock OEM style of the newer bikes.  No doubt, that R1 looks nice. :thumb:

I don't know how well it would blend with the older tail styling, I'm with Jay on this one. The rounder tail light would look out of place on the square body panels IMHO. Kind of like this, not a gs light, but a round hayabusa.

It should fit but the curves won't match up to the older body panels.Might could get away with triming the panels to fit the light.I know it's a little wider than the red brick light.The new style curves back so it may fit behind the body work.I haven't seen it done but it wil work with some mods.

Thanks.
