Here is the first test fitting of the 600RR tail, I still have some fabricating to do, but I think it's gonna work nice. The side rails have to go and I need to figure out what taillight is gonna work best for me. Dropped the seat height about 1", which is nice, I can flat foot on both sides now. It's a work in progress.

Nice, can't wait to see the results!
I think it is going to look really cool.
Thanks, can't wait to finish it.
Your bike looks awsome. Be sure to post some pics after she's all primed :D

Sweet! What's it do to the seat height? curious...
Seat height is a good 1" lower. Can easily flat foot on both sides now. I'm 5'8"
Now all I need is the side frame covers and a solo seat.
Cool. I just realized you said that at the very beginning of your post. I think I need glasses. :lol:
Damn good fit.
That looks great!
very sharp! what year RR is it off? it looks nice and slender, a good match!
what kind of fairing is that on there?
That is the F version of the GS500. 04, and 05 came with fairings from the dealer. Not sure about 03, someone please enlighten me.
My bike is an 04. yea the 03 did not come with fairings. The tail fairing is from a 03-04 CBR600RR. Still need to get the stock cbr side frame covers to hide that gap between the tank and the front of the rear fairing, right below the front seat. Gonna take some work to get it to sit just right, but I think well worth it.
So quit postin and get mountin :) we all wanna see the finished product.
There is no '03 GS500.
No 03 in America. Some other countries I believe did have the 03, not sure which countries. Allright, I'll quit posting and get busy. Almost to 500 posts. Can't stop now, so close....
nothing specia, comes at 500 :( im tryin to whore my way o 1000 :)
Yo, Danny! You still have the tail section off your CBR????
Maybe if it didn't get too piled up. . .
lol, its cracked man. If the guy interested doesnt take it, and takes the new tail, you pay shipping and its yours, lol However, its a banana seat like the GS, kind of a pointless mod IMO.
Banana seat! Hah! I agree. Pointless. I'd take it only if you have streamers to hang off my bar ends.
Has anyone ever tried THAT mod?
I had fur on my cbr :) lol that count?
didn't think another person was doing this conversion. I am also putting a 600rr tail on my '94 gs. I'm using a 03-04 tail section with the light that it came with. I plan on attaching the gs seat plastic on the bottom of the tail, then make a new cushion for the seat. I'm gonna bolt the tail to the gas tank and it will be like a hinge. so when I go to unlock the seat like would normally do, the whole tail section will swing up just like a car trunk.

I wish the original poster had an update on this project so I could compare mine to. But any how, here is the progress of my 600rr tail. Swing up seat did not work, it got caught up in the front seat area. The tail is attached to the original seat plastic and to the gas tank as shown in the pics. A 2005 cbr seat is attached to the original seat plastic with screws. so taking the two bolts off the gas tank and unlocking the original seat allows me to remove the tail and seat as a whole. No mods were made to any part of the frame to fit the tail. all that was needed was to trim a lil edge off the right side of the tail to clear the heatsink thingy. Now I need to get the thing painted.
