Boxdgm's F1 fighter build log
#31
Love the look man, I've seen people do rear end swaps but they cut sub frame off and replace it all together, this looks much simpler, cheaper, and in my opinion safer. Fixing to start turning my '96 cbr1000f into a street fighter and this has inspired me to swap the back end for something sportier

I had only thought that I was going to do a little modification to my bike here and there, nothing really too major. Then I come accross your build... Crap.
I now have most of the back end on my ebay watch list and as soon as I can sneak some money passed the wife will probably start checking things off that list. I love what you have done here.
Looking at the link you posted to the other backend swap, it looks like the framing he made to hold the tail end wouldn't hold any weight at all. Did you manage to come up with anything more secure or just along the same lines?

Ok Boxdgm, I have finally gotten most of the pieces that I need for the tail swap, and now I have a couple of quick questions.
The little offset piece in the front that connects the fairing to the frame on both sides. Is there anyway that you could throw out a couple of quick measurements for that just to make my life a little easier. That way I could come up with them at work without having to pull the bike into the maintenance area. Also, did you make it curve back out to work around the lip at the bottom of the fairing or not.
I'm also noticing that the front of the seat doesn't really want to sit as flush as I would have liked. Looking at your pictures, you don't seem to have as much of a gap as I am looking at on mine. How did you get the edges of your seat in the front to wrap the tank so well?
The front tab on the side panels pretty much jam right into the corner under the tank, did you actually mount something there for them to fit into, or are they just riding loose.
I'll leave it at that for now, but I am sure that I am going to have a lot more little questions like this for you. I apologize now for as much as I am going to bug you on this.
