That's a good spot for the reg. You don't muck around haha!
Any chance of a side shot so we can see that tail a bit better?
I think that chop looks good.

I think that chop looks good.
So I need to work out the rear tail light,
I want to keep the rear end as short as possible, so I mounted the tail light low to keep things short.
But now, I'm thinking the tail light is to low.

Either I fill the gap between the tail light & the top of the rear fairing with a panel of some sort or .....

Quick photoshop job ...
Raise the tail light, which will mean chopping the subframe to make it fit or having the tail light stick out a bit.

Comments or suggestions on what you guys think about the tail light position ...!
I really couldn't be fucked cutting up the rear subframe, but I just might have to. :mad:
Hey BOBBY, thanks.Quote:

You can get red led strips on egay that would tuck up inside the tail there nicely.

Something like that would work.
I'd be getting the correct tail light for the seat unit and making it fit. A lot easier than creating a new shroud for a new light and tring to make it all fit, unless you like a challenge of course?
What problems did you have with the plastic erno ?Quote:

I was originally going to use a slim line led tail light, but already had the cbr1000rr tail light, so thought I would try it.
Think erno & BOBBY are right, probably going to ditch the cbr tail light & get a new slim line tail light.
This is more of a budget build, trying to use parts that I already have, so If I already have it, I will try it first, then if it does not work out, then I will buy something else.
That is the correct tail light Gix11, its a 07 cbr1000rr tail light & 07 cbr1000rr rear fairing, on a 07 cbr1000rr subframe.Quote:

Stock,

Then I chopped straight through the Repsol sticker,
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSCF5435.jpg
Ahh, sorry mate, now I get ya. Yea, subframe alteration would be the only way with that light then. Oh well, all more stuff for you to fiddle with and master mate.
The cbr tail light is fairly long, around 10cm, don't have a Ebay/Paypal account, but thinking I will try & find a slim line tail light, something that's maybe 4cm long, that would mean I wont need to cut the subframe.
Grabbed this pic of a cbr1000rr tail light from the internet,
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...2000/index.jpg
Something like this could work, (below)
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...93_00-zoom.jpg
That's the light I have. It's near useless. Especially on a black bike.
Which light are you referring to BOBBY ? The smoked cbr1000rr or the smaller one ?Quote:

CBR tailight mounted in Glass TZ tail

Looks like a lot of nice bits on that bike.
And, here you go ...Quote:

Still needs some fine tuning, but getting there.
And another pic of my bracket with seat in position.
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSCF5097.jpg
The second one with the integrated number plate holder is the one I have. It'll get you out of trouble but I will be modifying it to be brighter in the future.
The bike looks good mate. You've done well.
Mount LED'S on back of sub- frame and shape Perspex to suit tail, tint and fit. Flush tidy and flash.
Thanks BOBBY.Quote:

I wouldn't mind cutting these down, don't know if I could be fucked at the moment tho.
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSCF5307.jpg
Still have the original damaged sleeves, might try & get motivated, cut them down from 45cm to 35cm & give them a bash with a hammer.
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...4fb0f9fda4.jpg
Or if I'm too lazy, I might just buy these,

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...duct2645_1.jpg
Don't do the white light surround, make sure you do the black one. Your arse will suddenly look massive otherwise.
agreed
Yep. It will be some shade of black (gloss, matt, or a bit of carbon fiber shaped to fit)
Only thing that sucks is I ordered a few parts from America at the same time & one part is on back order, they said maybe 2 weeks back order, so looks like I will be waiting maybe 4 weeks till I get them. :mad:, Lucky its the middle of winter.
Few pics of my PAIR valve removal,
Don't need these
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSCN0057.jpg
Got some PSR PAIR cover plates
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSC01838.jpg
So I have some massive weight savings :p
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSCN0052.jpg
But the best bit is PSR made a production stuff up & printed there logo on the wrong side & machined the indentation on the wrong side, so I got my money refunded. I can still use them, just have to flip them over ! :cool:
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSCN0031.jpg
Made some CBR600rr stick coils
Bought new 600rr stick coils & 600rr wire harness
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSC01818.jpg
Cut the plugs from the VTR & CBR
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSC02036.jpg
Don't need the old VTR ugly coils
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSC02042.jpg
Cut the rubber from the VTR & swapped with the rubber from the CBR, had to shave the plastic ribs from the bottom of the CBR stick coils so the VTR rubber would fit
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSC02037.jpg
Ended up with this
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSC02038.jpg
Carbon fiber rear with undertray,
OEM vents are a different shape so I had to use mesh for the infills, :mad:

You should come for the weekend to NFR
Thanks for the offer, I would like too, but....
Excuse # 1, I have Social phobia & the only person I have met before is Erno & Erno is not going.
Excuse # 2, A retarded mechanic fucked my bike, now every time the fan comes on the engine stalls & I don't think I can fix it myself in time, as I work 12 hour days and not really sure how to fix it.
Excuse # 3, I'm getting older & don't really want to do a long ride with clip ons & as with Excuse # 2, I don't think I will have time to fit my new front end with dirt bars in time.
Excuse # 4, I'm Lazy....
Excuse # 5, Not sure my wife would let me go even if I over came Excuse's # 1 - # 4.
Got the carbon rear fitted, not the best pictures as it was raining today,
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSCN0079.jpg
I like that it has the undertray to neaten things up.
And I think undertrays look :cool:.

Front end swap next, on to do list !
Picked these up.
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSCF5066.jpg
Radial-mounted front brakes.
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSCF5067.jpg
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSCF5068.jpg
they're some very pretty forks!
This is coming along very nicely now. Good motivation for me.
forks gimme gimme .....
Thanks Phantom.
I have been weighing parts as I go, so far I have reduced weight by 15kg, I hope my front end swap will continue to reduce more weight.
Driven Carbon Superbike bars,

After market top clamp, goes well with the Driven risers,
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...0/DSC01916.jpg
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...285ABLRC-3.jpg
I have the OEM CBR1000rr top clamp but I couldn't figure out a easy, secure way to mount the risers, the after market clamp has a nice large flat spot that is perfect for a set of risers.
