'02 gsxr seat and rear body on a gs500f. Inventive. tell us how to do it!

omg.. that is a killer mod!

gotcha thinking, doesnt it?

You could easily do this to your 01 same as his 04....oh the possibilities...

Dang it Pablo, I gotta stop attempting every swap/mod I see on this site, I'll never pass any of my classes AND miss all the So Cal rides!!!

Jeez that looks hot though...Wish I had an '01...How about a solo seat that'll bolt on to a pre-01?  Anybody wanna do a little 'glassing?

JamesG has already been doing it for some time:

Pablo-

I meant a solo-type seat that would use the GSXR plastic and rider seat, and somewhat look like the 'Busa tail effect.  Like a solo seat cover on that curvy GSXR plastic, I guess.  I've seen James' stuff, and that's another thing I'd like to do eventually...


Tony

OK GSXR and R6 tails do fit, but they are fatter at the back of the rider seat than it optimal... I have tried fitting a Honda F4i stock tail on and its perfect, not too wide and definetely looks right. Now the right choice will be a race tail with a mouse pad for the seat glued onto the base tail section ... like JamesG's.
Cool.
Srinath.

geeeeeeeeeeeeez
that looks nuts

i probably missed this post because i didn't know about this site just yet

wicked mod

Who's bike is it?  Any substructure mods necessary?

Im in the process of ordering an R6 tail, ill post pics when i get it, and get it on. Also, a guy form another site got in contact with me wanting to do customer CF work for my bike. Fairings and whatnot, and all id have to do is pay for materials and put his logo on my bike. Sounds fair to me .

Srinath-any certain years on those F4i tails? Have you tried them on the '04's?
Dan-Really want to see the pics on the R6 when you get it done.
Thanks, Dave

So are you saying that a R6 tail will fit the GS? how bout an 04 F. How much work is involved. Let me know. And Daniely, make sure to show us what your gonna do.

DaveO - They ony made it in 99 and 2000 isn't it ... I'll have to put pics up ... in a day or 2 ... watch this space ...
Cool.
Srinath.

the 4i is 01-02 F4 is 99-00

anything will fit if you install it....get off your butt and start fabricating
it's how the rest of us figured it out

Well my tail is in the mail. I ended up going with the '00 GSXR 750 tail because of its availability as opposed to my R6 tail idea. As soon as i get it ill start taking digi pics and posting them up for everyone, as well as a complete walkthrough. Hopefully ill get some sort of custom title for it *wink* lol. Have a great christmas everyone.

sounds good, let me know how it works out.

Sure thing, im so anxious, but i still need to order a seat and a rear seat cowl. And i gotta find a way to utilize the stock locking mechanism, and figure out what im gonna do about undertail....oh boy, lol.

If you find a way to make it work, ill get one myself. Take pics along the way, then you wont regret not doing it later.

I should have it done over new years weekend, wish me luck.

good luck daniely!

i'm so excited for you dude
Pics Pics Pics pleeeeease!
(if this works, i'm so doing it too!)

cheers,
