what i did today, not alot but no turning back now lol
Ok so I bought my tail, 05 cbr 600RR supersport. I went to see about making a "floating" subframe and the shop is real busy but said they would fit me in. Ill post pics when I get it done in the next few weeks hopefully
Uh Oh here we go....

i shaved my subframe off completely and fabricated my own out of steel tubing and sheet (mig welder)...
made two aluminium lugs out of 10mm and had them welded to the frame (i can't/don't tig weld) to mount the top rails to, the third mount was attached to the top shock mount and a longer bolt was used thru the lot...
everything was fabbed at home and only the mounts were welded to the frame for me, kept the cost to a minimum and i didn't have to wait around, i used my subby to hold the two ally mounts in place whilst the tame welder did his pieceit ain't broke ....

unfortunately you may not like my opinion ...
i think it's too long and upsets the balance of the appearance(i like short tail units) also your link pipe and can both need shortening (looks like you have a wheelbarrow handle on there) linkpipe looks like it needs to lose more or less a foot and probably six inches off the can, the can also needs lifting to match the angle of the tail unit lower edge, or go hi-level ...
i really like parts of those tail units, the side section where the vent is, but not the lower piece down to the frame and not the centre part of the body, i can see a really nice minimal tail unit in there but it'd mean cutting and re-glassing (something else i'd have to learn)...
just my thoughts (too many smileys to choose from)
edit.. didn't look at the third picture, looks better without the lower edge, still too much rear bodywork for me thoLast edited by NiteMare; 02-17-2008, 07:35 PM.it ain't broke ....
