Thread: What have you done to your tail?

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    Post pictures of what adjustments or upgrades you have completed for the rear of your bike. (Tail lights, License Plate, Signals, LEDs)

    I need ideas for my 09 XB12R. The tail section is all stock and I would like to change it up.

    Loose I like it! Has a mad max kind of feel to it.
    BTW am I seeing things or is that a single sided swingarm? That rear wheel makes me think of my long lost VFR800
    My eyes might be playing tricks on me. I am getting old

    Maybe this pic will help.
    It's a Ducati rear, flipped upside down,and a Buell front. I built it 4 or 5 years ago.

    I think I remember seeing your build thread. Awesome look!
    Totally respect the uniqueness of your bike.

    Here's what I did. Completely removed old bracket. Bent the plate. Drilled some holes in the underside. Used led license plate bolts to mount it and wired them in.

    Like the idea of a shorter tail on the R, has anyone used a different tail unit from "another" bike?

    I purchased 2006 Yamaha R6 bodywork and solo seat cover to fit onto mine, but havent started yet

    Which I also fit onto my o2 R1 a few years back and loved the look! hybrid2%200011.jpg

    I saw a Ducati tail on a firebolt on ebay years ago.
