Default Tail units for project?

arf'noon.
building a sv650 streetfighter... see attatched photos.
was wondering on a tail unit for it, i want something that doesnt stick out too far, nor too expensive so RSV4, ZX6R, ruled out...
anyone any ideas? only for some opinions
more than likely just going to use to use the svxr unit from twinshack but some ideas are welcome

Virtually any tail will fit as long as you build your subframe.
The only other problem that I had with using street bike bodywork was making the seat fit. Race bodywork might be easier, then buy the sticky seat foam.
I did think about using Gixxer K8ish rear end until the Daytona 675 Sub frame came up, cheapish

yeah the fitments not a problem, that can be sorted. for some reason i always sway gixxer, and it kept coming back to my head so i just wanted some more ideas.
i think i would prefer to go for a race unit and use the foamy stuff, just cut the holes nicely for some lights to go in.
how did the fitting for the daytona subframe go?

RSV Millie tail unit would look nice.

How about something totally standout based around

Keep stock tail unit and buy a penske

OTOH, the K1 GSXR race tail we fitted to one looked alright.
