Hi guys,

Done some searching but coming up with a lot of junk, finding it tricky to pull up what I'm after - you guys are the ones to ask I reckon.

Looking for aftermarket ZX-9R tails. (95 model) Someone has made a horrible checkerplate thing and sparyed it black, and the stock tail end doesn't look that flash either, and a replacement is required. Are there any particular companies/sites to look at? Overseas is fine.

Wouldn't mind seeing if there is an off-the-shelf underseat exhaust setup while I'm at it...

Thanks,

slip.

What exactly are you after??

Fully customised tail or just a stabdard type/single seat race tail??

Try a ZX9 forum mate, someone is bound to know where you can get something.


Mmmm checker plate.

miniman - just something decent looking, but nothing 'Alien' or 'Vampire' German style. Race tail single seat would be a goer I suppose. The stock tail looks crap. Anywhere that does race fairings might be a goer, I'll have a squiz down that path. Any suggestions?

Rocket - that is a far superior checkerplate effort than what's on this thing. It's horrible. Still, so wrong and heavy...

Thanks guys.

Check this site out. They do race tails, fairings and screens

Fiberglass replacement?: http://raceglass.com.au/modellist.html

Fiberglass race pieces will be cheaper but will take a bit of work to sand and paint nicely. There again, compared to what you have that shouldn't be too hard by the sounds of things.

Thanks guys, I'll look down the race glass route.

Pommy Chopper - I'm going for the natural curves, but definitely keeping your site bookmarked. Could come in very handy in the future....

Pommy, i'm after a single seat tail piece for a YZF750R.
