I started in september and now its almost done. But I did not stress myself while building it. First I tried to make the tail from fiberglass, it took like 3 versions, none of which I liked. Then the fairing.. I made 4 different aluminium fairings, the last one is ok. Also the rear subframe, the first version was aluminium, but it got too compilcated. The current version is stainless steel. So, the actuall work took about few weeks :lol:
And thank you all for the comments :thanks:

Big deal. I can change my own oil. :monkeymoon:
Seriously, nice work. I'm sort of confused what happened to the 4-2 exhaust. It disappeared...

Awesome work!
I'm converting my 01 Bandit into a streetfighter after laying it down last season and I have been wanting to modify the tail as well.
Any possibility of sharing some specs on your design?
I have a friend with a shop that should be able to fab something if I give him some specs.
I wish I had the experience and skill to do it myself . Very cool!!
Can't wait to see the fisnished product.

Did you check all the pics on my website or is there something special you want to know?
Have you weighed it yet? If so could you post.
No. But I got the dyno results: 119 hp on the wheel which I think is great!
It has a Akrapovic full system (from GSXR) and Factory jets with original air cleaner.

Nice work....looking forward to seeing pics of it being assembled!

Thats very interesting the way you lightened and pivoted up the ass end. I was trying to think what other purpose that might have and realized that if your that good you should come up with the first under the seat air lift system with a seat extension able to pivot up or down with the press of a button.

Are you serious, or just messing with me :grin:
The reason to cut the frame was to get the look I want.

Oh I honest thought you were trying to reduce wight or improve handling. The part about the air seat was a pun and yet if there were an adjuster it would allow you to fine tune the ride position using some threaded bolts to raise or lower it. As far as looks go my immediate impression is it gives it a much more athletic look. Sort of like a body builder with no ass, putting more emphasis on the engine for sure. The million dollar question is how it will affect the geometry of the rider with respect to balance and handling. If it works well and there is an added weight drop, it could be an overall improvement.

Actually I can´t tell if there was a difference in handling between the first and second version. With the latest modification I can get the seat height a bit lower.
