I am new to this forum and found that people put other tail sections from other bikes on there busa. I was wondering what other tails will fit and how much work will it take to get it on there. If anyone has pics please send them. I am looking for a winter project and think this may be the one to do.
 
i thought the 08 tails fit just by swaping the rear framing section and plastics? i've also seen GSXR 750 tails are popular as well. Dont know how easy they are to do tho
 
Man I wanna 1k tail so so so bad but the wife is like....:nono:

I wonder how she would sell in the classifieds...:rofl:
 
I've done a bit of research, but nothing solid enough to attempt :banghead:

On this forum, people have quoted close to $2000 for this swap (2007 or 2008 1000 tail on a gen II busa). Now, I'm no master fabricator, but I know my way around a shop :whistle: and I can't fathom why on earth this price is that high. I would understand $1000, but even that seems high ???

heres a picture of mine, my boy did it and its a direct bolt-on as long as you have the subframe and everything that goes with it, the only thing thats different is the locking mechanism on the hump/passenger seat release...everything else is the same... hope this helps,Jon :beerchug:

I'm putting a k8 1000 tail on my k8 now. Definatly not the std 1000 front half of the subframe..

Here's my 04 with a 08 1K tail. Getting the front half of the subframe to fit is the biggest challenge, especially if you want the stock seat to fit. Mine cost me around $350 in parts.

looks pretty sick man. is it reversible? say, if i wanted to put the stock tail back on for some 2 up touring?

You can put any tail you want on there, depending on how much work you wanna do. I just put a Kawi ZX6R tail on my busa, see my build in this section. Lots o pics.
