No, I had a f4 tail and tried it, it's too narrow.

That would obviously work & it wouldn't be a bolt on application. You'd have to have the f4 or 600RR measured, angled correctly, then welded(the mounting points to match the 900RR subframe mounting points)

The 900 series looks fine the way it is! Why would you guys just be throwing on crap parts like its an old Ford truck? Seriously...

He's right, there is nothing wrong with the way the 900 looks. I thing that rear tail on the 900 is what stans out the most on my 900. You can by a single seat tail from shark skins that makes it look even better. Also ford is ford and chevy makes the bowtie. Johnny

Thanks Johnny, The 9 series is a beautiful bike just the way it was made, no reason to go all chop shop on it. This is the exact reason that I think that the WELL KEPT and un-modified (body)will become a collector item some day because they will almost all be wrecked, parted out, raced, or just plain mangled like you guys are talking about. Honda did a great job.... If it aint broke, dont fix it...

Just my 2 cents :-)
