TL 1000 S tail - work in progress
« on: May 05, 2007, 03:36:25 PM »
Just bought this off eBay. I'm going to combine this with a 2nd gen Bandit 400 tank and airbox covers. Of course the ugly passenger seat is going to make room for a seat cover. I'm planning on putting the wires in there, which are now in the headlight. If I still have some room after that I'll put my Stebel horn in there.

As soon as I get my 4-1-2 exhaust from Japan I'll start making new midpipes so I can put my 2006 ZX-10R end cans next to the tail.

whats your plan for being able to bolt on that subframe? are you going to use it, or do the plastics fit around the normal steel one?
smaller is better

Got it today. I've put it on top of the bike to see how it fits, length and width wise. Length is almost the same, width is almost the same on the front and rear, only the middle is wider. Have to cut the seat too. I've got the 'bubble' to cover the pillion seat as well.

I also included a pic of the RGV 250 rear brake and pics of one of the ZX-10R end cans. I've installed a RGV 250 rear rim (4.5") last weekend, running a 160/60 tire, 520 chain and a much better, more controllable, rear brake.













To be continued... :bandit:

Just looking to see how stuff fits together... it's mostly the seat that messes things up so I'll cut off a bit of the 'fins'. But I have to wait until I have my 2nd gen B4 airbox and airbox covers.
