Speaking of perfect tail...


Oops. Did I post that and not just think it?

Here's some pictures of the tail compared to the old tank. Unfortunately I couldn't find any from directly behind, but that's because the tail was so wide I didn't figure it was a good angle.


and here's an above picture, just for Buddha...


Here's the tail with the new tank, I think it's very well proportioned.






This last one shows you how the bottom of the subframe sticks out below the bottom of the tail. The front of the tail happens to match up with the bolts to hold the tank to the subframe, so that works out well. I need to find a new seat anyway, so if I can find one that drops about an inch in the front, I can drop the front of the tail, make some new mounts for it, and it would just line up with the subframe as it is. The only other thing I have to deal with is the face that the tail is much wider than the subframe, so I need to find something to fill the gap between the subframe and the tail on the sides so you can't see up inside of it



I'll work on getting some detailed pictures later so you can see how it actually mounts up.

Do you have any pics from the side of the old tank and the new tank?

The new tank does look much better though from those angles you took but it's hard to tell also from the different color.

I have to admiit that the R6 tail looks quite funny with old style tank, but with the new one it looks great!
I think it will look even better with the F style fairings.
I also like the GSXR tail on the F version.

hey on that first pic, what rear shock is that? looks like the bike is really high. does it have aftermarket dog bones? do longer bones or shorter bones raise the bike?

shorter. it took me while to picture it in my head.

post some pics JIM.

servus,

the rear shock is a modified white power shock.

bones, i think original RF900.

I'd like to find an 04-05 gsxr tail to try sometime, but I'd probably wait until I was ready to mess with the subframe because it would only look right if it was at the right angle. Here's a picture from the side with the old tank....



and one with the new tank



I think from the side it actually looks better with the old tank, mostly because of the steeper angle on the back of the tank and the sharper curve in the upper back corner, but that's only one of multiple angles, and the other still doesn't look that bad.

Yep, Buddha's right.

Yep, Buddha's right.

Heather said that it looked like a woman with big hips years ago, but she's a girl, so she meant it in a good way, which I don't think is the same thing Buddha was getting at.

Woman with big hips, eh. Like these...



Funny. I was just on the New Moon IMDB page, flicking through the photos and saw it. Came here and saw the post.

i believe that is the GSXR 1000 tail.. the thread for that swap is up here somewhere.  That color scheme is a stock GSXR color scheme

Of course you were....

I'd really like to photoshop her head onto the top of the picture of my GS, but it's late and i'm too tired to put in the effort. haha

[The Buddha]

Not even close to Jennifer Hewitt. Its like Lindsay Lohan with queen latifah sized ass plastered on.
BTW I am a lati-fan so its not cos I dont like latifah ass. Just that it needs to stay with The queen.
Anyway It looks awful on the old tank, and less awful on the new, and fairing I am pretty indifferent both ways.
Cool.

I've had thoughts of trying to cut it down the middle and fiberglass it back together a bit skinnier, but because of the shape I don't think it would work. The whole tail isn't wide, just the middle of it, so if I did that the tail would just come to a point in the back, and I'd have to figure out something new for the tail light, plus the seat would be too wide too. I think once it's painted to match it will be a lot better.

Actually, I was. I'm NOT a fan of Love-Hewit. I think she is Odd-Looking and... ok how about ICe-T's wife, Nicole Austin (aka CoCo)... sorry, couldn't find black...


"Oh. My. God. Becky. Look at her butt. It is so big. She looks like, one of those rap guys' girlfriends."

Josh, are you putting fairings on this or will is stay naked?
