Update: Fitted bellypan, and fabricated my own seat... Looks pretty good.. Removed all wires and contacts from the sides and placed them under the seat unit to hide them..

Looks really good so far!! Do you have any more pics of the tail (from the side)? What are you going to do with the gap between the seat unit and the subframe (Where the rear brake fluid resevoir is)? Fill it or just leave it?

I think im going to keep it open.. I've hided all the wires so there is nothing but the brake fluid resevoir showing.. Cut of all the metalbits standing out.. Can find some pictures later.. Im also adding a Pyramid Plastic Rear Hugger to get some dirt protection..

Did a chop on the front mudguard, as i thought it was a bit long and standard in the front... I think it looks nice...

raised the rear end about 4".. made new dog bones out of stainless steel (6mm) works like a charm.. fabricated an aluminium undertray and all the electronics up under the seat.. (hidden everything)..
Ordered rear seat from a 05 R1, Typhoon Carbon Oval slipon + som more.. My camera is crazy so more images coming soon..

this is so far.. it's getting there..

Looking good. Looks much better with all the wires tucked up out of the way. I'm following this thread with much interest as I'm doing pretty much the same with mine. I got an R1 back end off ebay and have also hacked the subframe off to fit it.

Out of interest, how are you securing the fairing (and seat) to the subframe. I can see no obvious mounting points on the R1 fairing or seats. I'm going to "create" some brackets etc to do all this but wondered if you'd found an easier way?

Have you come across any difficulties with any of it yet?

I made some brackets myself, can see if i can get som pictures of the mounting points.. It was pretty strait forward.. I think I'm using about 3 mounting points for the fairing, whilest the undertray and seat i fastened with velcro.. can get some pictures of that too, i am getting my rear seat and typhoon slipon from the post office tomorrow.. Man I'm exited!! wohoo

Yeah any pictures you have would be great, especially showing the fairing brackets and mounting to the frame.

It also looks like you've covered the holes where you chopped the subframe? Or is that part of your undertray?

No, its not a piece of the undertray, i closed the holes with a piece of L shaped steel, welded it on, and used a grinder to get the shape right... Looks pretty good, but the most important thing, is that it holds the frame toghether, making it strong.. As with the passenger foot rests, i chopped them of and grinded the welds down.. so it's going to be a clean look.. Got my slipon and rear seat today.. yess!!

Did you find it necessary to cut the R1 seat to make it fit? There doesn't appear to be enough room between the fairing when fitted and the tank?
