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.

 

post up some pics of what you are doing sound cool..

 

ya i've mounted a 1000rr tail section/subframe on my 87 hurricane. i still need to paint the new frame i made to match the stock frame but this is where im at so far.

 

i like that.. are you going to run old plastic on the bike? what are you plans for the pip? and what swing arm is that?

 

ive got an undertail jardine from the 1000rr to run. im not gonna use the old plastic and the swingarm is off a vfr 750.

 

hey grwilson6,

How hard was it to fit the swingarm? That looks bad ***.

 

Please tell us how you did the swingarm. that is sooooooooo sick

 

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.

 

heres a couple more
