looks a bit to long ,it looked good the way you had it before,i think if your going to go that high it has to be shorter.
and its a tad to high ,only my 2 cents worth

All good Pete I thought it might be a bit to far away but thought I would throw it on to get people's thoughts.
I am going to trim it down a bit and lower it as well tomorrow.
What sort of foam do you have on yours and is it good for long rides?.
between my seat and subframe i have 40mil foam to stop the seat base from cracking or rubbing ,but for my seat i have hi density foam 10 think ,its better then a seat full of foam,
Looks good to me without tank , sits up about as high as bars at back.
It looks abit too high and long at the moment,but it is pretty hard to tell without the tank in place???
Cut a bit more off today.

Don't worry about exhaust I have a carbon one I'll be cutting down to a shorty.

Just scored these of eBay as well a subframe for $30.

Just won these off ebay for a good price- Triumph Street Triple 2010 mufflers.
Will have to see if I can fit to bike.

they will look good but they are blooy heavy mate so you will have to cut them open and gut them
Will have a look when they turn up and if I can will empty the guts out of them.
In middle of shed clean up hence the mess I decided to put front wheel and calipers on and rear subframe.
I know it needs to be shorten but not sure on height yet to how much I cut off.

that tail looks a bit bulbous IMO mate but if your gunna use it i would mod the front seat and bring the plastics right up to the tank
Yer that's what I was thinking of cutting frame so plastics go right to tank.
Just have to see how small seat will be but I think it will good.
i done it to that zx9 i did a while back and my arse still fitted an im not that little
Neithers mine but just went and had a quick look and should be ok.
Will be busy with grinder tomorrow.
good stuff
I have a rear tail light which includes indicators in light are they able to be used or do you have to have separate indcators?.
your supposed to have seperate indicators mate but it realy depends if you live in a cop hot spot
Might have to go with separate indicators as well as the ones built into the light just to be different.
trust me separate blinker are a must in n.s.w ,as i got booked for having a taillight with built in blinker ,fit the tail light and wire it up ,then add smaller side blinkers itl keep the monkeys in blue off you back,
25cm from centre to centre of indicator and no further back than 30cm
Cut 40mm off top bar but I think I might need to go a bit more maybe get the front of plastics just under tank a bit more.

keep cutting mate i think your right try and get it under the tank more
Yer the more I look at it the more it needs to be done might be a tomorrow job or later today have to see if I get energetic.
thats the spirit mate
use the mounts on the back of the tank to attach the rear plastics to ,when you move the plastics closer to the tank, id cut atleast 100mils to start
Did some more cutting no 100% sure about ride height maybe a little bit lower to give me a bit more of a seat.
Looks like I'll have to fibreglass up a main seat or I might be able to do a cut and shut.

use rubber gromits and some crush tube to space out the front mounting points,with you seat lift the vinyl and the foam and cut the plastic base away ,the cut the foam and vinyl to match ,do go to hard cutting little by little
Looking good mate
Like the way this is going mate. Looking good
Perfect length mate. It's your choice with the height and lines. As long as you follow at least one line it should look good. Either line up the top of the tail and pillion seat with the top of the tank, or as you have it there it seems to follow the front frame brace and knee recess in the tank. Keep fiddling and stepping back and you'll make the right decision.
Lookin goood matery. Wish mine was makin some progress at the mo...but I aint :(
still tryin to straighten the zx6r subframe.
I dont think Blue will mind but this bike has a new home now. As for its function, well its yet to be desided :cool:
cmon Luke tell us more.
Luke, you're gonna own more bike than Large at this rate
Did sell it to Luke as I start FIFO work in WA end of next week and won't have time to work on it so I'll be looking at one of this very soon I think.
