Some paint is on my list. Blue was the cheapest color I found while looking for the parts. There is a small rash on one of the corners that needs to be sanded out too. I'm hoping to have something done with the seat by Sunday. Right now I am going to make an attempt to chop up the Kat seat and get the front piece to fill the gap... If that don't work I'll probably finish up on the tail while I try to think of something else.

i have an R6 tail in my garage. I thought about using it for the Kat before. I may also use it on the wifes FZR.
Loks good. Good luck with filling the gap. have you thought about just making a filler piece that matches the tank out of fibreglass?

after giving it some more thought, a fairly simple and practical solution would be to use a tank bra, and sew a pocket on to fill the void. Gap disappears and you have a quick access spot for your ownership and ins slip. An even better solution would be to make a compartment out of fibreglass that fills the void. That way you can paint it to match and even put a lock on it.

The fiberglass would be nice but I would need some practice. The last thing I tried didn't work very well. Right now I have the Kat seat chopped up with a magnet stuck on the backside. I also have a general foam shape ready but i was unable to find any matching material to cover it with.Attached Files

The way the r6 subframe is stuck on there just does not look good at all.
Maybe if you covered the subframe it would be ok but like that it just looks slapped on there.

Imho the looks from behind are ok allready, all he needs to do is covering the battery area where the R6 frame allso shows and he's still in need off some idea to cover/fill the gap between the tank and the seat.
Nonetheless it's an idea with potential if you're not able or not wanting to (have) cut off the original subframe and (have) weld a new one yourself.
Interesting mod and still waiting to see the finished product.
