Default 600rr Tail Conversion

So I have finished my conversion along with chopping the old turnsignals and fixing the cracked panels from the previous owner. I was going to have graphics painted on it but I really like the white so I have decided to keep it this way for at least a couple weeks so I can figure out whether I want the graphics or not. Sorry the photo sucks but I will take it to the beach this weekend and get some real nice photos taken. Please let me know what you guys think. The good, bad, and anything else I promise you wont hurt my feelings. Also the bike in blue is obviously the before.

That tail looks super bad ***.. You did an excellent job moulding the 2 together! ill bet that took you quite a while to get just right. The all white paint looks good, but what kind of graphics were you planning on going with?

Yeah it took a while but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Originally I was thinking to go with a bright pearl orange and a lime green sort of pattern along the side. Then we discuss doing a lime green with silver and black accents cant really decide so we are sticking to white till i figure out what I want. Why do something twice?

Looks really good. do the blends between tail fairings match (Left vs Right)? (not that it really matters as you can't see both at once)

Have you thougt of ordering different colored decals for the accent colors? then you could peel them off if you don't like it. or just swap color of decals each season.

Absolutely baller conversion! I like some of the tail swaps I've seen, but the panel lines not matching up have always kinda irked me. This is the perfect combo.

not counting the paint job I have less than $400 invested. The paint was done by a shop as I wanted a professional paint job instead a home job. I probably spend 2-3 weeks from start to primer to get it done but I wasnt rushing or spending all my time on it. It was just a couple hours at night.

I thank you guys for your kind praises I am still trying to get over how well it turned out.
