RE: Racing Bodywork - 12/26/2006 11:26:10 PM    Jason748 Posts: 444 Joined: 10/22/2006 Status: offline In short, No & No. But, to mount a your tail light into a race tail, you could epoxy or fiberglass in some nuts or mounting studs and tril it out for the taillight. or You could find a led strip brakelight and custom mount it in. As for getting it on - There is no real esay way.  On my race bikes I have 99% of plastics trays cut away or removed AND all of the mounting tabs, etc  cut away and it's still a PIA to get on. _____________________________ 05 CBR600RR - RACE 98 Ducati 748S - Street & Track 60 Ducati 200SS - Fun 89 RM125 - Dirt Thanks to my 2007 sponsors: Two Brothers Honda, Lithium Motorsports, LockhartPhillips TP, CBR600RR.com (in reply to maxwell139) Post #: 3

RE: Racing Bodywork - 1/1/2007 2:56:13 PM    Jason748 Posts: 444 Joined: 10/22/2006 Status: offline Basicially you want to remove ALL the plastics under the tail except for the battery holder part. I also cut off a buch of the tabs to make getting the tail on easier. I no longer have my 03 (went to it's new owner last week), but I do have an 03 subframe on my 05 race bike so I can shoot some pics of that and e-mail them to you as soon as I get a chance. Otherwise the only pics I really have are here:  http://www.cbr600rr.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=album115 _____________________________ 05 CBR600RR - RACE 98 Ducati 748S - Street & Track 60 Ducati 200SS - Fun 89 RM125 - Dirt Thanks to my 2007 sponsors: Two Brothers Honda, Lithium Motorsports, LockhartPhillips TP, CBR600RR.com (in reply to maxwell139) Post #: 9

RE: Racing Bodywork - 1/1/2007 6:57:13 PM    maxwell139   Posts: 82 Joined: 5/15/2006 Status: offline Its werid because where you bolt the blinkers on the bike (05 cbr  600rr) the part dont even cover that up. It sticks out too much  and where the seat is too the part is stickin up like a 2 inches thats why i asked if the seat had to be cut out ( but in your pic its not cut out) im starting to think that the part is for a different bike i thought that it was goin to be easy but its starting to be a piss offf!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Racing Bodywork - 1/1/2007 9:33:01 PM    Jason748 Posts: 444 Joined: 10/22/2006 Status: offline Sounds like the race tail is hitting on something and not sitting down all the way. Start off by cutting out ALL of the plastic thats attached to the subframe EXCEPT the battery box area, leave that intact. The black part in the pic posted above is the support member for a superbike stlye seat, not part of the origional plastic. There are two different types of race tails: 1) SuperSport style: This type uses the stock seat and the tail is cut out in the middle to accomodate this: typicially looks like this: http://www.oppracing.com/image.php?image=pr2777_2.jpg 2) SuperBike style: This type uses a pad of some type as is sold in the middle. Typicially looks like this: http://www.oppracing.com/image.php?image=pr2799_7.jpg Which style do you have? I'll still looking for my camera to shoot a coupld of pics... < Message edited by Jason748 -- 1/1/2007 9:35:22 PM > _____________________________ 05 CBR600RR - RACE 98 Ducati 748S - Street & Track 60 Ducati 200SS - Fun 89 RM125 - Dirt Thanks to my 2007 sponsors: Two Brothers Honda, Lithium Motorsports, LockhartPhillips TP, CBR600RR.com (in reply to maxwell139) Post #: 13
