Default new tail frame?

i was wondering if there was the possibility of changing the frame on the tail of the 250. That is the only thing that i am not kosher with on this model. I think if the tail looked like the R6 or another upper class Ninja model this bike would look almost perfect. How hard is it to get this done and how much am I looking at getting it done?

I honestly don't have a clue about what you could do. Maybe if the ZZR250 tail would mount up, then go that way.

you would have to find one of the newer bikes aluminumsubframes, then hack off your welded on rear subframe, then weld on some mounting tabs........more actual research of what would fit and look right than work to do it.

Take a crash course in fiberglass and build you own.

yeah, you could probably use your stock subframe and just redo the panels to be more streamlined, maybe a solo seat too.

What about the rear don't you like? Have you seen the common cutting of the mud flap mod? I think it helps the appearance alot. I'm about to post about mine w/ pics.
