The end of it is suppose to be touching the frame like it is on the other sideDragon wrote: How much does it have to go in? May be you could trim the inside edge and it will get flush where you want it.
Looking good so far!
didnt you have a weld up a custom tank to fit it?95FZR600 wrote:What do you mean build from scratch? It took 30 minutes to get mine to fit right.

take a look at the first two pics and you can see how far its got to go..
Just cut the the flaring where the stator is, then add fiberglass to the back of that piece you cut going to the frame to make it nice and strong. Don't look like any other way around it. That's just the thing with modding flarings, you got to modify it, if it don't fit right. Why didn't you just try your old side flarings with the new front flaring? 
But as we said before, cut it! 
The YZF tank would look better, the R6's or 1's don't fit flush because of the frame design for them. 
I don't like the YZF600 tank that much either, I used a 2000 R6 tank, but I had to adjust my handlebars out just a hair because my wrists hit the tank on tight turns. And I'm making little fiberglass fairing pieces to fill a gap on the side of the tank by the frame. oh, and i i don't know how much harder it was to fit compared to the yzf600 tank, but it was a little difficult. I was looking at the 04 - 06 R1 tank, depending on how wide the frame is, it might take the exact same rear bracket mine does.shredex wrote:I dont really like the yzf tank that much...and everyone else is doing that tank on there fzr.95FZR600 wrote:I would do the YZF 600 tank. That cowl might fit it pretty well.
im going to try and see if the full r1 tank will fit (not just the cover, the whole setup)
I dont want to have to built a tank from scratch like you guys all did.
And I can always weld up my own bracket onto the tank to make it mount where ever I want it to.match417 wrote:

How's that speaker on there work anyways? Do you have a head unit on the bike somewhere or do you just have it wired to a male headphone jack so you can plug it into an ipod?shredex wrote:I was starring at the first pic in my post, and I thought, well, maybe I should do an undertail exhaust as well as Mark is...but If I were to do that, then I would need to get the 04-06 r1 tail but I dont want to lose my speaker setup
oh the decisions I have to make...

I like your setup. Can you hear it when the bike is running?shredex wrote:this might helpdeernet wrote:

I looked into it when I thought about mounting the R1 fuel pump to the bottom of my R6 tank after my pump went out.shredex wrote:does anyone know if the r1 fuel pump is the same as our fzr's?
