FZ6 + R1 tail end

[Wavex]

Lots of info here too about this mod: R1 racing seat + rear end - Sportbikes.net

 

[Wavex]

Check out what he did to his rear fender on that one (oh and he stripped his wheels too):




Pretty sleek... here is his build thread... yes, it's in french but you can see all his pics: [Yamaha] FZ6 - Crazy Moto

I like the way it looks, but functionally I think my "boys" would be squished on the tank. That seat looks like it's at a pretty forward angle.

I don't like the wheels or the rear hugger...but the tail is SICK!!! although is really gets rid of the passenger capability and luggage capability of the stock seating...I think I'll keep mine as is...

that's a sick frankenbike!

 

[McLovin]

good job adapting the end there..im not digging the bike tho, it looks ridiculous

:thumbdown:

that poor FZ6....

IMO some people should just buy an R6 and stop butchering innocent fizzers

but that's just me to each his own!

 

[McLovin]

the whole thing with the high tail doesnt work with fz's high bars and that windshield. the whole point is that the rear end of the bike looks higher than the front giving it an aggressive look. Without clipons on the fz, r1 tail only looks out of place. IMO

it does not follow the line of the bike...it is too high...it is not bad but i think the tail of R6 would fit better :thumbup:

I would agree that the shield makes it look less agressive due to its height. I like the rest, give or take the mesh rear hugger.

I don't think it reduces pasanger capability at all. And yes it might be a little harder to bungee things to the back...All in all its not a horrible idea.

I say we all ride around with stock fizzers in the 3 color choices....NOT!!! I would trade mine for his tomorrow...maybe LOL.

 

[reiobard]

that is a lot of effort and although it looks great i can think of a lot more things i would do first...

 

[SovietRobot]

It looks 100000 times better than every other custom tail I've seen.
Still not my cup of tea though.

 

[wrightme43]

I think it looks cool. Thanks man.

 

[chunkygoat]

I see a few people criticizing your bike there man and I gotta say good work. I love the rear end and the back rim. Thats pretty sick man keep it up. Show us what else you got goin.

 

[sfcali86]

not bad wonder how it rides?

Hi Wavex,

Very good work but it is not a seat for "old back" like mine. I prefer to keep my fizzer like "she" is. I think the angle of the tail is a bit too wide but it is only my opinion.

 

[4drfocus]

The R1 tail is too edgy for the stock fuel tank,give that bike an R6s fuel tank & some clip-ons.:rockon:

 

[Wavex]

It's not my bike guys!

I like it though... I think the fit isn't bad at all (from certain angles )

 

[SANGER_A2]

Normally when people bolt on a rear section from another bike it looks pretty awful. That fits really well and the guy obviously thought it through. I wouldn't do it to mine, but it gets a thumbs up! :thumbup:

Im going to revive this thread. It's ideas like this that will keep the original fz6 popular. Im off to order some tail parts.

Mmmm agreed, if you wanted that look should of just bought an R6, Cant sacrifice my corbin for that though, its too comfy. Its a cool idea though.
