I think a cbr600 taillight will fit with some minor modification.

do a search please.

R6/FZ1 taillight fits pretty easily and I've seen it in person-looks good. Someone recently posted about it too.

Clear alternatives makes a clear lens for it.

Some members have turned their stock ones up side down and it seems to work better with the lines of the bodywork.

There have been some great home made versions too but you'll have to find them.

Search for posts by the members: Indestructibleman and Lev as they have some good ones. Sean has one too. And there are others that I cant think of their names right now...

But well worth a look to some of the other members. You have put lots of energy into your bike and it shows. Looked good then, looks better now. :)

Didnt you have a picture of the LED clusters in there without the outer lens? These pictures are hard to make out whats going on under that custom lens.
