    That is a great example of a fused bike

    It's crazy how well that brand new tail works on the bike.

    probably the best looking streetfighter i have seen in a while. better than the B-King uglyness suzuki decided to go with out of the factory. this is what they should have done. GSXR tail makes the bike.

    I have mixxed feelings about the tail.... it looks great by itself or on a gsxr, but I really don't think it compliments the classic shape of the tank.

    What type would you have gone with?

    I think this would look good......the GSXR tail looks a little too long or something

    Re: Kawabusa II

    i've found myself half-lusting after one of those big-bore late-80s retro nakeds as of late... CB1300, ZRX, etc...


    not sure why, but having one in the stable would be pretty cool...

    I know I should love it, cause I'd streetfigher anything, but I don't. I think the GSXR tail hurts it in my eyes.

    Re: Kawabusa II

    I think the reason I like the tail on that so much is because I HATE the OEM tails off of older bikes. They (mostly) look like they're from an 80's mustang. Boxy, simple, and awful looking.

    To each their own I suppose.
