Hi guys
I know its been done ,but this is my version of the cbr 1000rr tail on a hawk
Tried it straight on ,way too long

So cut 55mm from centre of subframe,and extended the btm rail to mate it up to the hawk frame.

This caused a problem with the cbr undertray,would not fit.
so fabricated one out of alloy,and also a battery box

Made up some exhaust hangers

Then the fun bit trying to fit the electrics under the seat

My hawk before

And after



And also have a carbon tail so I can swap anytime


This is no show bike,and my first time doing this type of thing,so comments good or bad is fine.
I would of loved to go higher with the pipes,but cost was a issue.
Next year I'll be hoping to have a crack in doing the rc51 front end swap
Tweety and hawk have been giving me great info about this mod
thanks guys.

cheers

Erno,
Nice work. What type of mirror/turn signals are those? Bolt-on, or did you have to modify them?

erno

Thanks Mike
Mirrors off a gixxer,pain in the **** to fit ,tried spacers.
In the end got the ***** with it,and tigged them onto the hawks mirror base
The stem wont move lol,but the mirror has a bit of play ,so not to bad.

I like the job but it makes me want to see the front of a cbr fairing on it. That would be trick. How hard could it be? C'mon chuck it on there!

erno

First of all thanks guys
And Geez some of you guys are harder to please than the wife
Was thinking of the cbr front but a RC51 front end has come into my possession
Soooo thats the next project.
Also found some danmoto pipes ,did a slight mod whahla GP pipes
Here is what they sound like

Nicely done very professional looking!

The subframe looks like cast aluminum, is that hard to Tig and keep structural?

erno

Thanks
Is aluminium,all we did was cut it and Tigged it,and no need to brace
Have had no probs with cracks in frame yet

Erno, I dont know how you have all this time to blog on here when you should be out in the garage getting that RC fairing on....

erno

Here you go, went for a ducati fairing kit instead
Not a bad job,if I do say my self

smokinjoe73

Hey, good job, kind of looks like mine now...

Don't you have a front end to mount...... what's with all this goofing off with other stuff....

Though nice job

That tail looks great. I now want to do this. Oh the skills I need to acquire.

erno

Me likey very much

That One Guy

How exactly did you do this?

supermarto

Looks good bruddah, but how are those polished fork legs? Do you have to do much maintenance on them much to keep them looking so sharp?

BBB

You could also get some more space under the seat if you went to stick coils....

Catch up soon yes?
