    Which Tail???

    Slowly working on my Kat. Wondering what the consensus is for the tail to match my oversize tank.
    ?

      I like the middle one with the bulkier seat it doesn't make the tank look too big and it's different haven't seen anything like that before , tank looks awesome !!

        I am leaning towards the modded stock seat as well. But will need to widen the rear subframe as a 6inch wheel and 190 tire do not fit in between the rails. I have an '09 GSXR1K swinger for it that just needs the pivot changed.

          I still love the old big glove box behind the rear seat with a big square brake light.

                Why not???
                With 400 hp, gas will not last very long.

                      Yes, 400 HP. Turbos are wondrous things. And a water cooled engine helps keep the temp under control. In my world, LSR is the hot ticket and WE make more than 400 but it is very hard to get it to the ground.
                      I like the GSXR/Katana but it just does not have the right proportion nor a engine that is more oriented for the street.

                          Yup, I am leaning towards the stock tail as well. Would like an LED taillight though. Just distracted by many other projects at the moment.

                              I will try with a little less humpy. Just need to get the drawing out.
