Hi, does anyone know of any non-standard tail units that can be persuaded onto the arse end of a Gixxer 4?

So far, have heard of a K4 end, and also an R1 rear end.

Can anyone else suggest any more, and if possible, the difficulty level in getting that particular one on?

The sexier the better.

Cheers. Thumbs Up

Or perhaps any advice on general tail unit bodging?

Someone must have the answers!... Thinking

Hmm, think it's less than straightforward, iirc.

Do a search, then ask, on www.400greybike.co.uk

I remember there being such discussions on there when I had my GK73.

K4/K5 600/750 has one of the sexiest bums ever, if you can, go down this route! Thumbs Up Mr. Green

I agree. If I could find a K5 arse, then that would be Drooling.

Cheers for that Mudskipper. 400greybike was suggested to me before I posted on here but, for me at least, the site is currently down. Google's not been too helpful but will try harder. Thumbs Up

K1-K3 ones also go on. Someone on 400gb I think put a K1 750 tail on.

Although the 400gb site seems to be down at the moment. Confused

Yeah it's been down for the past 2/3 days. Sad

Consulted some streetfighter riders and they say that due to the squareness of the frame, pretty much anything will slot on, just some are gonna take that bit more bodging than others!

Which is cool. Cool

I was thinking along the lines of Ducati, or similarly Cagiva Mito etc but not sure this style will suit.

Gonna have to scour all the breakers when I get back home and see what's going.

Hoping to obtain the equipment for subframe butchering. Hopefully I can talk to the man with the skill and the know how to carry out the bodge but if not then I'll err... have to figure it out myself haha.

Wonder if I can put some decent angle on it. Thinking Drooling

hmmmnz, do you have any pictures of your 400?
