    Sorry this is such an easy question, but I have not seen on ein real life. The seat rails on the CR, look like the plastic that the airbox is made from. Are these plastics that cover the seat rails? or are these metal, painted the same as the airbox?

    The pieces under the seat on the XB9S and XB12S are metal(just like the X1), but all the XBR and 1125s pieces are plastic just like agfish said.

    yes, the plastic tail is held on by screws that attach it to the sub frame



    What the suframe would look like without plastics:



    the back seat is held into place by a metal tongue under the seat that slips under another metal bar and a locking mechanism in the rear.

    Just so there's no confusion, the xbr and 1125 have metal subframes with a plastic tail and undertail. all the weight is still supported by metal, it's just the cosmetic bodywork thats plastic like most sportbikes.
