Got this Carbon Fibre tail unit from Thorsten.

It's quite a tricky bit of gear.

There is no subframe. It's fully self supporting and has a tray in the bottom that holds all the battery/ECU/servo's etc.

It's made to fit a K5/6 GSXR750 but it'd adapt to almost anything with a bit of work.

It's very light and a nice shape too.

It's black gel coat , not CF look though.

I'm thinking I'll trim it and get it to fit my GSXR1000.(it might not be wide enough)

I'm also thinking of just selling it but I kinda like it.

The seat might not be too good on a long ride but I'm thinking I might be able to fit a gel insert instead.

Just thought I'd share....

They retail for 780 Euro , Thorsten sent me this one as a "thankyou" for something I did for him.

It did cost me Customs/Freight etc so it wasn't cheap.

HOTTNESSSSS

i feel like such a chump sometimes for paying what i did for my tailpiece and going to all the trouble to make a subframe

this sort of thing seems like a much sexier way to go about it!!!!

I love that unsupported floating on air look - it just makes the bike look like its got helium tyres.
