nice work. how much did the conversion cost you altogether w/o paint? how did you obtain the parts?

 

i havent completely finished my tail conversion yet but i have all the parts and they cost me:

subframe: $120
tail fairing:$130
passenger pegs: $40
both seats: $90
-----------------------
total so far: $380 and i still need to buy a undertail so another $100 or so

 

Puck. That last one is a rather odd assumption. I'd like to offer another perspective if a may. There are those like me who simply enjoy a good project with an end result of distinction. When I posted the results of my converstion Voodoochyl responded by saying "Way to make the bike your own". That was it exactly. I know, around here anyway, that there won't be any 06 in candy blue with a split seat and, admittedly, I enjoy that fact. But I certainly don't feel superior to any one else. I leave that sort of immodesty to my bike herself. She's very conceited................Anyway off to wash her now.


Not everyone who does the convertion is like mitch awesome who's handle in and of itself speaks volumes. hahaha

 

Yea this is mature!!!

 

I think Puck's post was directed at someone specific EPY...I'm sure he doesn't think you are a snob . As far as the 'naner goes, I might reconsider if it is only about three bills. I think the cost of an RR is about 10k...big difference. I might be bugging the ****e out of some of you guys very soon...to include my Canadian brother...

 

If you do do the project, and I'm not suggesting you do so don't let this influence you. I have an extra 01 to 03 stock fender/battery tray, a tail light, sub frame, and even the appropriate comp werks fender eliminator. And you can have first dibs at an excellent price. Again, no pressure, I am in no hurry to sell any of the extra parts I have as I'm considering either the new RR (if it's available in the whie/grey here in 08) or the R6. I can sell the extra parts with the bike in the spring.

 

Your bike looks so much...older with the split seat.

 

Yeah seeing a split seat with 04-06 color schemes is pretty cool. Just for the record, I'm not ashame of my banana! =P

 

all 2gether the set up cost 540...for everything....not to bad....but ill get my old stuff sold perhaps and it wont be as much....i didnt mind the bannanna seat 2 much but i wanted a sporty look. as for why i bought the bike with the bannana seatwell it was a good deal when ibought the bike....i fig. i do body work an paint work so i can split the seat later on in life and in the same process it will give me a reason to paint the bike 2......all in all i lov it.....its not an RR but its paid for

 

I dig my banana...
