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?

While your there change that shock! Looks like the original.

it is the original, but ima wait until i ride it and find out how it is before i do change it, in the meantime ill get something lined up incase, but until i know and have ridden it im not gonna bother with it..... YET!
but if i do itll be the popular ZX6 or have a chat with Hagon, long way down the line though

Keep stock tail unit and buy a penske

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

i like your thinking, however, i want a kinda little back end, so the back wheel sticks out a little further than the end of the bike, if you get my thinking!

but i do like that... dont think iv ever seen a benelli in the flesh
