help tail swap
I was wondering what is the easiest tail swap for my89 fzr and is there a front faring swap.thsnks
Re: help tail swap
Yeah, um, the 89 fzr tailsection?
perfect swap onto an 89 fzr..
but seriously ....WHY?
Nothing is a direct/easy/no cutting or welding or fabbing swap
The vast majority of such "upgrades" are complete botch jobs...they look terrible at anything deeper than a casual lookover. While, a nicely done bike with original plastics will have people stopping you at gas stations to talk about your "euro" sportbike.

Re: help tail swap
An airtech fiberglass aftermarket tail is the easiest swap. You keep you front seat and tank in a weekend with a grinder and some dedication you'll be ready for paint and riding.
The r1 tail is harder bur gives you a better finished product.. You need a tail two seat and some fab work to build out under the seat and a grinder to cut off the stuff that wont fit. You'll also need to swap the tank, mod your airbox or put pods on, check out the wikki as I think both upgrades are shown. This is a winter project.
