Anyone tried like a 01-02 r1 tail light one their fzr???

My friend had that tail light on his old GS500 and it looked sick. I'm starting to say F the R6 tail swap, so i'm looking at my options. I absolutely hate the stock fzr tail light...so it has to go.

here is what i was thinking of minus the expensive price! i found them for about 30... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-Yam ... _500wt_955

Yo!

In my opinion it looks good now with the flushlight and that ebay tailight would look ugly as heck..
Can we see a picture from the side?? I wanted to do that for a while. How did you do it?

Are you planning on changing your tail? I only ask because you can use any tail light you want to. I have one from a Ducati 748 on mine. You just have to figure out wiring.

not even close, but that is a common mod and it does bring in the taillight somewhat. i threw a side shot in my first post to show how its almost flush :grinnod:
