You can paste the IMG code into your post to display the pics on the forum, just makes it a little more convenient.

Looks good, nice work.  :thumb:

It looks good.  Do you think this mod would work on a '07 GS?

it would look way better on a faired GS, the fairings stick out and so does the tail.
this is mine

how muck work did you have in the R6 tail?  if it was setup for both seats could the rear set be used?

What year is the F4i tail from and what all did you have to do?

01-03 i believe......and i took the old stuff off....and put the new tail on and slapped the f4i seat on....its basically a perfect fit...the front 2 bolts by the gas tank are a direct fit, the rear end....just use a few zip ties and your off to the races

Jim, that's a ball buster if I ever saw one!  I don't think I could fit between the tank and back of the seat, and I only weigh 190!

i used a roll of duct tape to get the angle. then choped the rear subframe and bent it up to fit the tail. then i just boxed the frame in the add strength. if you had a bteer wlder than that uses gas then yeah you can ride 2up i have a 90amp flux welder i dont trust much weight too far back.
