Hi im wanting to know of the seat housing from an R1 200-2005 will fit on my Fazor 100 2004.
Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Do you mean the back-end's plastic panels?
If so, then I'd highly doubt it, without serious modification.
-
yeah ment plastics thanks. is there any way of making seats into seperat seating like R1,Blade ect. just prefer the seperat seat look like the newer model fazer (just out of my price range) thanks for any help
-
Blow torch and a 10lb persuader should do the trick ;)
Can't see it being a straight forward mod at all

You can get a seat hump for the Gen1, not that common but they crop up occasionally, give a more sporty look but you'll have to take it off if you want to carry a passenger.
-
indeed, I have a black seat hump gathering dust in the garage
-
did you have a price in mind for getting the hump?
-
Theres a reason its collecting dust in his garage, they look shoite! IMOPO:-)
-
You can graft an R1 seat unit on to a Gen 1 but it requires surgery to the subframe, some wiring re-routing and you lose the side panels which hide various untidy bits.
Not a plug-n-play project. :)

been looking in to this ever since i got my bike. looked everywhere on the net with no joy. :o
was f*cking about on youtube (about a year ago according to the date on my comment on the vid) & come across this vid. nothing special but i noticed the owner had an r1 back end on it. so put a comment on asking about it, apparently its a copy of the r1 back end & it bolted straight on! no cutting modding of any kind. did ask where did he get if from but he didnt say.
so, by the looks of it, somewhere out there there is an r1 back end which bolts straight on!

rob - if you are serious then i suggest picking up a standard seat cowl used (they don't fetch fortunes) and setting to work with a pair of scissors and some cardboard, make a tamplate of what it is you want and fibreglass it up. they'll be some work with brackets to fix the front seat to the front of the subframe and the pillion pad might have to be based upon the standard seat base to make fitting to the standard key release catch relatively straight forward, then it's off to the painters and trimmers....
otherwise scrappy watching for a gen 2 back end, but then you'll be into rear light swaps as well as issues lining up the seat catch and front mounts.
alternatively you could be cutting off your subframe and welding on another...
how much time, space, skills and motivation do you really have towards this?

I might be wrong, but isn't that an R6 tail piece? With the led back light? BTW don't think much to the custom exhaust, but the tail piece looks interesting!

Nope the bloke who owns the bike said it was an r1 tail piece. (the 1 with the thin back light).

Oh yeah :rolleyes just looked at some R1s on the trader. Doh! Did say I might be wrong he he
Still would look cool with one of those back ends on a Fazer
-
rhencullen make and sell them but dont you think r1 arse ends look far too long and dated. just about everyone and his dog has done it to death.if your going to start chopping your subframe off and redoing it use a bit of imagination and do something new

hardtail it.
