Hey guys quick question,
So I bought my bike bike the airtech r1 tail conversion deal. But im getting kind of bored of riding around alone since its a single seater and all.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to either modify this tail to perhaps fit the stock seat or what road should i take?
I have the peg bars for the rear but no pegs

Thanks For Any Help!

I can't stand riding with women on my bike. You could do the R6 tail conversion to keep the look and sell the R1 airtech unit.

I believe the seat I ended up getting was off of a newer R6. It works perfectly, but it's held down underneath by a very large ziptie, so if you ever need to get under that rear seat you need to cut the zip tie and put another one on. Not a huge deal really, and i'm sure you can come up with something on your own if you want some sort of latch system, but I dont really ever need to get under there and I just bought a large bag of zipties for a couple bucks and it's been working fine. It was a lot of cutting and welding to get things to fit right, but I was pleased with the finished product.
the R6 conversion would be the way to go if you want it looking really sexy, but it's just a more expensive route to go. Most people end up getting the yzf tank as well and you need pods to fit that on I believe.

Lol well my girlfriend has been bugging me to take her and it's getting to the point the point where I just need to do something about it haha. I have an 02 r6 so maybe I'll use that tail, thanks!

Thanks for the advice man, I do have a welder. Might have to go buy some rods and go to it

! The ziptie idea is actually pretty smart, now that I think about it I rarely take my seat off as well.
