it does a little bulky in that photo... maybe i should make something like the tail on the buell thing... and a subframe like that... mmmmmmm
I think the main issue with it is how far back it sticks... maybe i could even just shorten it up a bit and make it a little pointier (a plan that i had earlier anywho.)

maybe you could strech it to follow the fork lines and have a white LED lite running along the side ??? a bit like a ducati Diavel ???

I think if i extended it down like that it would start looking a little more bulky in the front than what i want.

just checked ebay and the cast alloy subframe is an integral part of the CBR tail... so probably a LOT of effort to fit it to the RSV

looks heaps better without the big cans, it was sort of dominating the whole tail, just my thoughts tho.
looks great get on with it!

This is where I'm trying to head with my Tuono this year. Just thought I'd throw this up in case we get on similar paths.
