Reminds me of the show "Bangla Bangers".

That's a neat look for a lot less money.

Certainly brought a new look to the FZR. I bet it gets a lot of looks.

I think it's a cool project;

Will you leave all the Ducati badges on there?

Wow, this looks absolutely amazing. I want to do the same, ha ha. Is it very difficult to do? i.e. any welding etc involved? What exhaust is that? does the ducati exhaust just fit straight on?

Holy shit! :notworthy: More info on the instal! This tail swap looks 1,000X better than the R6 swaps!

Is that a stock swinger?
Other than beating the crap out of your gas tank and re welding it what did you have to do for the tank cover mod?
Custom subframe or is that the standard Duc. subframe?
Is there/can you add a rear seat?
How much custom fabrication overall?


But really, this is one of the best, if not THE best, tail swaps I've seen for the FZR!!!
1994 FZR600R Molested and rigged by the PO... BUT, I got her cheap, and she runs pretty good so I can't really complain!

yes it is stock swinger
i cut the old tank cover of my fzr tank cover to make it shorter,because it too long if i couldnt cut..
i only customized the sub-frame of my fzr,i bend and i cut out some parts..
i only make the exhaust so its free of charge..i only bought stainless iron..lol
almost 500 dollar for the customization..

very nice custombike. i really like the way the subframe is moved upwards on the frame. rear cool. definately one of a kind. fantastic job. clean and lookds like something from the factory, not just alot of parts squished together.
