Has anyone ever sat down looked at a ZX9R (98 or above) ducktail and thought to themselves..

MEH! to that tail light!

Any suggestions, im wondering if i could maybe modify a ZX12 tail light in there instead.

Blasphemous bastard...ya should be strung up for a suggestion like that... :twisted:

I've just put the clear lens tail light in, and with the clear blinkers, I think it looks much better than the original.

Plenty would have, but yeah MEH

But the eye a busa tail makes anything else look like a super model.

The only thing that would make a Hayabusa look good is parking it next to a VFR1200.

:kuda:

I loved the look of my 12 with a fender eliminator and under tail!

I'm trying to think of a graceful way to smooth that whole area out.....and I've found that most under tails for 9s look like shite :(

can you modify the original so it sits in / further back so it sits flush with the tail??

i have done this on my old rz350 and my brother done it on his gpz1100.
buy the looks of it, it wouldnt be to hard to do
