IDK bout fittment but damn i just saw the 07 R6 tail in person. Yamaha definatley got that part right. Check one out and see how close they would be.. Actualy the R1 may be bigger yet and look similar.

The GSXR tail fits, seen a couple people do it.. not the newer style tails, but like 2002 i believe. I want to make a custom tail for mine also..just waiting mostly on the money to do it. I'm thinking of using a 2003-04 ZX636 tail light assembly. The rest would be custom but resemble newer style tails.

If anyone is interested in buying a tail like this from me and or can change my mind on the tail light because you want a different tail light.. let me know. I'll make you a two-off carbon fiber tail or fiberglass. the price would help me offset my cost to build the mold for them. I do this professionally.

Yep, RRZONE, Fireblades, and here.

Sime does do very nice work.

I have been very happy with my new tail.
