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:

servus,

i think, you must rise up the rear end, its too flat.

i1ve done it so:



a few years ago. ;)

I think the tail needs to be tipped a bit so youll see the taillight but not that far....lol

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

mach1

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

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

Get with the program!

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.
