Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Hi guys,

I bought a TRX850 a few months back now, with the aim of making a street-fighter out of it.

I am happy with what I'm doing at the front end. But the rear end is.. well ugly to say the least. I have seen lots of posts on here about custom seat units, but they are all so old the pictures have been taken down.

Most importunately I want to fit a custom seat, without taking a saw to the rear sub frame at all. I want to leave the bike in a condition where all work could be reversed if and when I come to sell it.

Can anybody help?

Cheers

Leave it standard? Everything else pretty much needs the subframe cutting and shutting and FFS don't do this-

to it

Yeah thats not a good look!

What about a tail tidy then? I cant be riding round with this thing, it has an arse end like Gordon brown

If you can critique the bikes backside whilst riding it.....you are going too slow

Chop the black plastic thingy out, put a tail tidy on with a small plate and small indicators....Lookin good

He could be riding so fast that he's bending space time & catching up with himself from behind... Probably not on a TRX though

There are some reasonably good looking rear plastic around.......

I like that, is it Oz only or available to the UK ?

I know this fella who rides another sort of Jappa and thinks his shit doen't stink. He should know as he has his head shoved up his arse.. But your riding a TRX so it can't be that as why you see the rear end while riding... Good man

I LIKE the stock TRX rear end it`s period and right for the bike. I`m gonna be having an alloy copy-ish of a single seat made for my fighter.
I can`t view Kayla`s Ebay link further in the thread but I`m guessing it`s of a `shorty`?
Well I buck the trend there too because again I like those, a good rally hack TRX with a sturdy rack built on it for the tent n bed roll, especially if it`s got a hot motor would be a tad lighter and give some of the plastic rocket pilots and would be (in their own minds) good TRX riders a damn good run for their money too. Especially with me on it!

Has anyone got any pics of this? I am tempted with the idea

Also, the pic posted of the custom rear plastics... Are they still available?

Regards

I have to agree if its a choice between that and the stock plastics - stay stock!
