Its like making a cake ,to many things being put in ,  i think the fairings would make it look rough , i like the idea of the r6 tail , u HAVE to use a new one , i had a 00 rear Unit , and it was so big , the new ones are tiny

untrue they need to be mounted a certain way

Post by: Jay_wolf on April 12, 2008, 08:24:28 PM
Thats the one i had  , and it looks to big for the bike , hence why i sold it

Filipes New Gs , has the newer , smaller tail and looks ace, that looks wrong

Title: Re: dgyver I need your help
Post by: Jay_wolf on April 12, 2008, 08:33:56 PM

Title: Re: dgyver I need your help
Post by: mach1 on April 12, 2008, 08:41:56 PM
the R1s are wider but still look fine if mounted correctly

Beefy old girl , i cant get the clearance for my chopped bit of 1996 clock with the lights on , there Epoxed and painted , and i think im gonna have 2 lower the clip ones , and if i can , i might sack off the idea of The acewell and make mounts for the 01 clocks for the more factory look
Title: Re: dgyver I need your help
Post by: mach1 on April 12, 2008, 09:36:49 PM

Yep

Are you using the gs mc? Or did you upgrade?
Title: Re: dgyver I need your help
Post by: average on April 13, 2008, 11:59:50 AM
The kat system I have had the screws on the Kat MC stripped and rusted to shaZam! so I used the GS one. I ve seen guys on katriders.com use SV and others that look alot cleaner.

If you are looking for front fairings... This is one of the only pictures I have. I had others but they are mia. It actually fit very well. Obviously trimming is required and custom brackets. I never messed with it beyond this mock-up.

was it overly bulky or was it slim? im looking for something not a huge as the stockers
Title: Re: dgyver I need your help
Post by: dgyver on April 13, 2008, 03:21:46 PM
Trimmed up I think it would look pretty good. Not slim and not too oversized.

If interested, I will try this week to dig them out and mock it up again to take more pics.

If you are between SV and Duc fairings, it is relevant to note that Duc fairings tend to be very slim.
Title: Re: dgyver I need your help
Post by: mach1 on April 13, 2008, 09:25:48 PM
also true the Duc 748 fairings look good also and are just as easy to get ahold as the svs are on ebay. Dgyver if I can just get a rider point of view shot that would help
