I put a busa tail and step seat on my 12r.
Engines out and front straps are off so it looks high.
I kept bashing the original tail and this tail was 90% cheaper than a catalyst 12 r one shipped to UK :)
Have I sinned? :)

LOL... well, then again, when you're able to run 9.2xx.... I guess you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want to it!:lol:
Can't fab up a subframe or mod the existing one to make the 12 tail work?

SImply too expensive with shipping and import duties.
I can buy another of these bugly sets to cut and shut it to look like a zx12r cheaply now or do this one end of the year.
This is the Mk 1 version LOL.
Took me 4 hrs to cut fit reshape and reglass and paint . Time not on my side as doing engine.
Got my APE adjustable sprockets today just waiting for new cams and she's ready to rock and roll :)

It will be a 12 tail when its finished. Its work in progress.
My main short term target is to get to the track 1st July and put down a few zooks >:):laugh::bonk::zxred:
Remember its not a real busa tail just a piece of fiberglass :)
The final zx12 styled item will have cost me approx $200 in total inc. paint..
If my engine is back in by next weekend I may have the time to restyle it before I'm at the track :)

Im on the way to the bodyshop suppliers for more fibreglass resin.
There's a saying in the UK.
" less haste , more speed"
So I figure if I spend a bit more time and 12r style this bugly tail .. it might be good for another tenth of a second , lol. :) and less shame :) :) :)
I knew id end up doing it again.... Lol.

Lol , I didn't seriously want to run my bike with a bugly tail. Must have been the summer heat clouding my brain....
I'm often running at Santa Pod.
I just do RWYB fun , but some of us do take it serious... I was fastest in the RWYB cup challenge last year ,but not ran my 12r this year and there's a zook that ran an 8.90 this year so its quite a challenge to lose a further 3/10the which I'm not sure I can meet this season.
I'm hoping the new Robinson's 1st gear and the race cams may just gain me a little more go...ah and the "new" engine lol.
I have another engine to build over the winter which will have some more goodies ,so I'm hoping not to wreck this one as it's got to go back in my silver 12 :)
We will see...
Be happy just to get bike back on the track and,running OK I guess ...
I'm back from getting resin so will be hacking the tail over the weekend .... Pictures to follow..:)
