I love the race tail. It's not too uncomfortable, this past Monday some friends and I went riding for a good part of the day. I felt fine afterward. I'll still probably get some kind of pad, but it's really not necessary. The only problem I had was nowhere to lock my helmet so I just locked it on my friends busa.

I tried painting the lower part, but I kept on having problems with the paint. Now that it is a lot warmer out, I'll probably try again. As far as the tail goes I mentioned that I was thinking about painting it on here before, but everyone yelled at me. It's hard to tell from the pic, but it is cf, so painting it might take away from it.

ya in the pics the fibers arent visible at all. it doesnt even look glossy.  maybe u need to put some elbow grease into it :).  i would paint it.  if not then make the rest of the body CF or at least paint it black.  i've seen some CF hoods with a candy clear on it.  looks really sweet.

I did, I soooo wanted to take that beast for a spin, but I would have killed myself. Either that or my friend would have if anything happened to it

My dad has a busa and a v-strom, we are putting the busa back together after an 80 year old man decided to pull out in front of my dad.  Broke his femur and caused 19000 in damage to the bike and 75k to the leg, only going 35 or 40.  But his is an 02, black and blue (soon to be red) with c/f yoshi bolt ons.  Crazy bike, made me feel like i was going backwards when he would gun it and pull away in a wheelie.

how do you do 19,000 in damage to a 14,000 bike?

all the individual peices cost more to buy then a whole bike assembled does.
