STREETFIGHTER TIME!!!

At first i had soley planed to streetfighter the bike and nothing more, adding the F4i fairings just happend one day without any plan to do so.
Anyway, to fit the R6 Tail i had to cut the subframe off just past the rear peg hangers and make a thiner one that would fit inside the tail section.

I baught a race tail rather than OEM plastics so had to cut the saddle area out my self and as you can see what ever this is made out off, it doesnt like jigsaws lol, the area circled is the only area i think you should need to cut on a OEM fairing as you have a mount on the frame there.

As you can see it just simply bolts up at the front with 2 fairing screws straight into the holes that were allready there.




I allso had to cut 2 sections (about the size of a £1 coin maybe slightly bigger) out of the bottom of the saddle so it would mount right otherwise it kept slideing around on the frame lol



For taillights ebay came to the rescue and i found theese lights on there going pretty cheap, and 2 strips of LED's for the indicators.



I had to jack the Tail up slightly as the rear wheel was just skimming the undertray if i hit a speedbump to fast.






As youve ptobly noticed i dessided to put the exhaust under the riders peg as well, the loss of the linkpipe combined with the short length of the can gave it a awesome sound !!





As you can see in the pic below i had to put a small dent in the top of it so that the rear break leaver wouldnt hit it but you cant see the dent unless you get down and actually look under there.



P.S Im not ragging it from cold, i had just got back from a ride.
