GSXR/Katana Upgrades on my 550EF

I stuck a '02 ZX9 complete tail section plastic over my rear frame today and it lined up perfect........I'm purchasing this section and am going to graft it to my bike next.......now I need to make a custom seat out of the ZX9 seat and the 550EF seat so that it rides up the tank

Watch and see!!!!

I made a different choice on tail pieces to keep with the GSXR upgrades I purchased 2 different tail sections for a 99 GSXR750 and a rider/driver seat that has a "second look" red/black cover on it! this saddle fits my wide arse much better!

I just have to track down the passenger seat for the setup and do some minor trimming to slide over my passenger peg mounts and to mount the ZX9 tail light into the end......

More to come this weekend......I'm also thinking about changing out the upper fairing with a EARLY GSXR750 dual headlight setup that will widen the front end also.......

[Colorado85gs550]

YES....those are zipties holding the clocks to the upper triple.....just to mock it up while I make brackets to mount it there in place!

Ha! Okay, I was wondering if you got any of the bodywork "on". Sounds like you're heading towards a very interesting and specific look. Do you think the hard angles of a GS550ES fairing will clash with the rounded features of the ZX9R tail??? [that is IF I'm reading this right]

which is why I went with the GSXR750 tail and I'm integrating the ZX9 tail light into it.........mocked up the GSXR750 tail/seats look good with the flow of the tank. I have to look into a different upper fairing now as this upper fairing is WAY too skinny

That's a pretty handsome bike; and now it's got the running gear to back up the looks. Cool!

Ya know, if you go with that rounded gixxer front fairing, you can make that ZX9R tail section work... ...hmmmm... ...that might be a really good looking ride, too.

I've got a GS1150ES faring, fairing stay, headlight, and new in package Zero Gravity windshield that might do the trick. You'd have the big 8" headlight that way and only having to worry about power to one light instead of two. It might mate to your lowers.

Billy,

It's a great offer but I think it would still have to be cut out to clear my clubmans and going with a later model sportbike fairing it's cut low for the lower clip-ons from the factory.........

I'm actually going to run a dual headlight/fog light setup instead of big headlights in the dual headlight fairing........

If you have pictures of what you have I may consider it....

sheesh i thought my rear tire was nice and accommodating for the rear, you up your size and now after all the mods it looks small again. I would hate to see what the small tire looked like after all that
