If no one on here has any ideas for you... you can measure the mounting points on your stock subframe and have people measure theirs from R6s or R1s or whatever so you know what you'll need to do.

Expect to need to cut/glass/plastic-weld the new tail at least a little bit and possibly shave a seat or two. You'll probably not find anything that wouldn't require a bit of adapting.

Hey Rob, long time no talk Thanks again for my coolant overflow bottle.

Anyways, With the slingshots, there's a multitude of options. I've seen lots, but personally one of the best ones I've seen it the R1 tail on skr00zloose's old bike. That looked killer. The somewhat pointy tail looks good on those to offset the rounded tank. You still have the R6?

someone on a AUS board did a r1 tail and it looked to long for the bike. I would look more into something else........try a ducati 999

Hey there. You talking about the 89 Slingshot? If so, you are going to have to weld up the mounting tabs for the subframe so you should be able to use anyone with a similar style.

here are some photos of mounting tabs for a custom subframe

900rr subframes damn near bolt right up to slingshot frames. very little work to get em on, and there's a MILLION different tail styles for 900rr's.
