Default subframe/seat upgrade

hi, has anyone here previously modded their CBR1000f to take a newer seat off a super or hypersport model (ie like a 954rr or similar)

What would you have to do. I know its not an easy it/swap.......The frames are obviously different, placement of battery would be a consideration etc.

any information would be great

cheers...jas

hey,

I am currently doing that mod right now. I am using a sub frame from a 2004 f4i and an under tail exhuast from a bmw. I just started this project on Easter Sunday so I will update you when I finish.

well i had to make spacers because the vfr swingarm was a couple inches narrower and i also had to make new bushings because i used the hurricane pivot bolt and it was a smaller diameter then the vfr pivot bolt. then i had to notch the frame so that the shock would clear and make the shock mount. i dont have the measurements for the bushings or the spacers but next time i take it apart to paint i will measure everything. you can kind of get the idea with these pictures but i will take some more next time i can.
