    Looks nice.

    Any ideas how difficult the tail swap ? I dislike the stock tail.

    yeah its not overly difficult once u have the concept...u can search and thread called "It's Alive! My CBR600RR Tail Project Lives!"
    he details everything step by step he did... as per many suggestions i used square tubing instead of flat steel. i did use flat steel to manufacture the eyelets though but had them welded for safety...ill try to see if i some more info on it.

    Hmm, I think you and the guy in the other post have invested a few more hours into your ride than I have. The results look great.

    Tail mod looks good. A bit of a must given those parts are so hard to come by.
