Default How did this guy do this...?

So, I was looking around at pictures of the Ninja 500 and I came across this: http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/843030/

(mine looks like: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d4...e7/paxseat.jpg )

I would like to know what this guy did/what he bought to get the passenger part of the seat raised up a little like that. I like how it looks a little more sporty and gets rid of the banana seat haha. I see he got a fender eliminator, but I can't figure out what else he did (I am a big newbie haha). I have looked for seat cowls and fairings for the Ninja 500 (EX500) and couldn't find anything. Maybe I am looking for the wrong thing?

EDIT: Sorry I should have mentioned, these are 1995 Models

he cut off the subframe and attached a tail from an R6.

here is a thread he made with pics.
http://www.ex-500.com/index.php/topic,1390.0.html

Hmm

ok, I kinda understand the instructions. Not too much work, just some good welding. Now, I went onto Ebay to find the R6 (Thats Yamaha YZF right?) and I found the Tail "Sub"Frame.

I would like to try this on my EX, but the "Sub" part of subframe kind of sounds like its not the frame I am looking for. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-02...spagenameZWDVW

Thanks!
Edit: Yeah I am a noob, haha, I read more into his post and yup I need the "sub"frame, so good deal . I plan on doing this very soon. Gonna ask him for a list of materials he bought, then im gonna give this a try. Ill try to post some pictures
