the standard supersport tail is in my view far from supersport. so in order to make a standard ssie tail look really like “supersport”, there needs to be done some minor transformation…
a few months back i already had cut part of the tail. but i wasn’t satisfied with the results – especially since the desired rs 250 tail fairing didn’t properly fit on the shortened ssie frame. it then looked something like this:
i then decided to replace the entire backpart of the ssie frame with a 999 subframe – those things are hard to get for a reasonable price, sh*t!. but since good things come to those who wait, i go my share on ebay.com and today i finally managed to find the time (and the guts) to make that final procedure on my bikes tail. after first approaching the CrMo-steel with a metal handsaw i quickly discovered that heavier machinery was necessary to finish the job befor the season ends…nurse please hand me the angle grinder.
before AGM
after AGM
here’s the detail
clean cuts ain’t it :)
those holes will be filled with some genuine custom subframe holders, soon. so stay tuned…
