Advice needed.... CBR Tail

[Eclipse9597]

Alright, so the f2/3 is pretty much finished, and has been for a wile now. The f3 kit looks great on the old bike, but the tail is a different story. I hated the tail that was on the f2, so i decided to mold the factory tail. It looks pretty good, bit i still am not satisfied. I have an aftermarket tail light (LED Bar) and i want to put a newer model on it. There was a guy who had a carbon fiber F3 rear and another guy who put an F4i tail on his bike. If anyone knows where to get the carbon fiber tail or how to mount an F4i tail, please help me out.

I got a Carbon Tail section for my CBR F2 from OPP Racing.

I am in the process of completing a mod I did to it that:

1. Moves the whole seat back 2.5 inches from the tank and front of the bike.
Giving me a more modern feel, as the Big 4 realized sometime in about 2002 that Americans were not 4'6 as the Japanese are, and began lengthening the available rider space on 600,'s and 1000's.

2. Raised the rear of the carbon tail piece by using the built in Kevlar and Carbon support points, some saddle clamps, bolts, rubber washers, and jam
nuts.

This actually gives me a tail height of a GP bike, and would look almost GP excpet for the sub-frame is not one bar but a trellis system on my bike.

It also lets me raise and lower the tail section by whatever wrench and spacer and nut adjustments I make against the bolts and saddle clamps.

Pic below...of it about 45% done.

This bike still needs paint, and to get rid of the tail-light, plate, etc.

Also, needs some trimming around the now exposed sub-frame.

Maybe some custom body pieces from Maier, or I'll make my own.

Or'll I'll leave the sub-frame exposed, paint it black, and...

Well have not decided yet.

The highest portion of the tail section tip...is dead even with the height of the front windscreen.

It has a long way to go, but it's fun...

When I am done, you won't be able to tell what year, make, model it is.

I think I am going to paint the sub-frame this red-orangish color...kind of picks up the color on the tank.

Then I want to install some kind of mesh, easily removable where the shock, and on the other side the radiator overflow bottle and brake res is.

Wadda ya think?
