The one I like... is the RSV4 tail section... May go a little better with a pointy SV...







Anything for the RSV4 is going to be pricey... But a SBK race tail may be priced within budget... Luis



PS: For my cheap project... It is going to go just above the rear spindle...

Fireblade race tail looks ace but isnt really short like you want. It's on the Steve Jordan race bikes I think

i like that little cowl, thats mega cheap too! might have a look for the superbike RSV4 unit, but i know as much as you can make panelling fit, it would be an absolute nightmare to fit something so tiny on a SV subframe! haha

OTOH, the K1 GSXR race tail we fitted to one looked alright.
YC, is Zoran still the best person to source Penkse's through
Anyways, the K1 unit

trouble with all those modern tails is the NEED for a tail tidy, they just dont look right in road trim.

Theres a cheap 916 tail piece on ebay, although older styling than the more modern stuff being mentioned.
