Title: Can I fit an 01+ rear tail section with a '94 tank and seat?
Post by: AFMO on July 23, 2008, 01:11:31 PM
Anyone tried this?  I found a deal on a tail section, but wondered if I can get away with using the old seat and tank...let me know what you think.  I don't mind fabbing up the brackets to make the tail work, but just wondered about the tank and seat.  Thanks!

Probably tank yes, more than likely not the seat.
Cool.

I did it.  You'll have to cut the seat but it's definately possible.  I'll post up some pics when I get a chance.

I h ave a new gs and looking at both models the older seat and plastics are shaped differently and obviouldy the subframe will be different so modding will need to be done I would get the rear panels seat and tank and it would fit alot better.
