Christ, I'm turning into another Noggy!!

As you all know, Project Fazer needs a redesigned backside (when it comes to bikes, I'm an arse man. Because they look the tits.

). So far, I've been look for the old R1 tail fairings, but not having much success. A few other designs that have caught my eye have been the R6, the Duc 916 and the Yam FZR400. All completely different, all could look really cool with the underseat zorsts.

Any other ideas? Any links to cheap bits for me? I don't really want to pay more than about £50 for the plastics.

Cheers!

We'll that rear end on Dekf 's s1000r looks pretty good, offer him a £100 I reckon he might part with it.

Ha

To be fair i was recommended a fazer & they weren't banned from being eligible either.

Sooooooooo........fz6 tail...then it is still fazer.

ChristoT · « **Reply #5 on:** 27 May 2014, 11:21:00 pm »

Seriously, Dazza?

I was looking at the FZ6 tail, but I reckon something squarer would fit my bike better. Plus, mine's going to be a single seater, so I'd quite like the stepped sort of look you get on the super sportsters

Ducati 996 seat. Thoughts?

Probably the best rear tails possible to have with underseat exhausts really!

That said, you muck up an iconic tail by making a rat's ass out of the job and I WILL come up there

NorthWestern · « **Reply #9 on:** 28 May 2014, 08:47:08 am »

Got one you can sell me?

Sorry, Northwestern, but the 916 fairings look good and are surprisingly cheap on ebay.

Got anything you can flog me? Has your bro got a spare YZF750 fairing he could part with?

NorthWestern · « **Reply #12 on:** 28 May 2014, 08:20:14 pm »

He may have the standard one but don't think that would be easy to fit...

It's either a standard YZF 750, and an angle grinder, or I use the 916 fairing.

ChristoT · « **Reply #14 on:** 05 June 2014, 10:49:54 pm »

Right, down to 2 now (kinda).

I can go for an R1 fairing (the 00/01 model), and then could go normal USS style (under the fairing), or CBR600RR style - so the brake, tail, etc lights are beneath the exhaust.

Or I go cliché, and go Ducati 916 - or even Cagiva Mito125, as they're similar - but I'm worried about the width issues.

Help?

I think there's a clue in the site header. We like Fazers

ChristoT · « **Reply #16 on:** 06 June 2014, 07:32:43 am »

Yeah, but I want to give mine a little twist, make it stand out.

Panthor · « **Reply #17 on:** 06 June 2014, 02:18:07 pm »

how about triumph daytona 675??

Millietant · « **Reply #18 on:** 07 June 2014, 08:24:19 pm »

Ducati 999 tail ? - not the obvious Ducati choice, but might suit the Fazer lines better than the more rounded 916 unit.

ChristoT · « **Reply #19 on:** 07 June 2014, 08:36:17 pm »

Hmm, bit different...

The question is: do you have one?

Ebay is being a bastard for (lack of) parts, let alone sensible prices! I'll still looking, peeps!

I think I'll go 916, Geordi Sussex has it on his bike, and it's beaut.

Also, the 600 has a "stepped" subframe - perfect IMO for the underseat exhaust and the 916's stepped tail. I could mod an FZR fairing, I suppose, but again, can't find one.

Subframe

I reckon an FZS 600 tail would look pretty good on the back of your Fazer. #justsaying

ChristoT · « **Reply #21 on:** 08 June 2014, 07:43:20 pm »

Yeah, but that ain't custom or bling!

Hoping to make a deal on a Ducati 996 fairing.

mickvp · « **Reply #22 on:** 08 June 2014, 07:48:15 pm »

I think Harry could be onto something.... It won't be back on the road long before it has some custom scratches all over it knowing you Christo

ChristoT · « **Reply #23 on:** 08 June 2014, 08:19:47 pm »

Won't be back on the road at all if my parents have anything to do with it.

Gis a break, man.
