Sounds like you do want the r6 seat but don't want the work putting it on the REX eejj

Anyway, you're sticking to YAMAHA that's a plus so good luck with the conversion!

Did you manage to fit the R6 tail unit? WOuld love some piccies if you did

Fitting one is next on the list for my project.

So far I've big bored the engine and had the head ported, I've fitted the YZF swingarm and YZF forks and wheels, I've put a harris endurance style fairing on it and next is the R6 tail unit (did ponder a ZX10R tail but then decided it looked too modern compared to the style of the rest of the bike).

Povic and FCRs to follow...................
