Member Contributer shaynus Posted May 15, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hi everyone Planning on fitting a the gen tail section to a 5th gen bike. I know others have done it but can't seem to find any threads on it. Can someone please point me in the right direction of where to look? Thanks!

Member Contributer VFROZ Posted May 16, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hmmm, no answers. I know it's been done. From my understanding, you will need the subframe, the undertail, the lights, the exhaust and the guard. You will also need to reposition your ECU, the regulator/rectifier, and some other electrical components/relays. The advantage is some weight saving, and a more modern look.

I don't think it saves any weight, the rear subframe on the 6G is very beefy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer shaynus Posted May 17, 2018 Author Member Contributer Share Posted May 17, 2018 Interesting video nik68, thanks. I know the 6th rear will add weight, but I'm afraid to say this one is about looks (I like under tail exhausts), not outright performance (it's fast enough for me) 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, pretty much just like that one! I don't know how I missed that one, must have had a 'man scan' as my wife would say... Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
