So, bike went down pretty hard. Scratches and dings, destroyed the fairings, and fractured the sub frame. The sub frame was fractured in two places so i cut it off right behind the rear seat. Built an aluminum bot for the battery and harness, used a steel plate to support the 2 sections of the sub frame. Now with the shorter rear end i am getting a little dirty, havent ran it in the rain yet and not looking forward to it. I need to retro fit a rear fender and get a shorty exhaust to make it look better. I have a full size V&H on there now, looking at a double baffled GP Moto shorty muffler. Any ideas on all this? thanks guys.
P.S. i wasnt hurt in the fall, some idiot was in my lane going around a twisty and i had 2 choices. so i layed it down and slid it down the road. Bumps and bruises, small cuts and sore as hell. Got rather lucky!

Glad to hear you are alright. The bike can always be replaced. Good luck on your rebuild.

Glad to hear you are ok. You could always fit a swinger that incorporates a rear fender. Such as a r6

ya, not trying to replace the whole swing arm. I need a whole rear fender, a hugger wont keep the dirt and water off my back. Any thoughts?

Re: rear fender to fit, and a shorty pipe after i layed it d
You'll be custom making a fender if you want it to fit. No one makes one besides airtech and that's a hugger really. They don't sell it outside of their entire kit either. The "GP" style pipes are worthless. They are loud, usually cheap, and lack any sort of back pressure. Either cut your SS2R down and make a shorty, pick up an R6 shorty can, or if you got the cash, I can make you a custom shorty.
You're looking for things that never existed on the FZR though so it's all up to your skills.
