Raven Tail Section Thoughts
Ok so I got bored the other night and at the urging of one of my buddies I mounted a tail section off of a 06 R6 Raven that he had laying around. Obviously I have not finished it, I just got the subframe cut and rough fitted. It will support my weight but I need some longer bolts and some spacers and i still need to mount the electronics. Found places for most of them. I will finish it up when I get back from Iraq next year and then I will post the rest of the swap. I just figured that I would put it on here and get your thoughts on it.
Well, its been in the 70's all week so I figured that I would tie up some loose ends on the bike. I put all of the wires where they need to go, changed the exhaust, mounted the license plate and turn signals and put the right bolts in the lower subframe. Still have a lot to do, but this took care of my cabin fever for now.

I like it. I've been looking at a few different tails for my Hawk cuz the bulky look just isn't cutting it any more.

I plan on running high mounts on it to fill in some of that gap, just not sure which ones I want. I did use the stock R6 subframe. They have a great integrated tail light for it that I plan on getting.

The foot rests for the passenger bolt onto the subframe. You might need the R6/R1 footpegs if the spacing is different, but they will still bolt on no problem.

I didn't think it was too hard. I had it roughed in in a couple of hours using a hacksaw and a few other basic hand tools. If you want some more details I can take some more pics and give you a better explanation but everything is fully functional. I just haven't got the r6 battery to put in it yet.

Yeah I just out the splitter and cut the can pipe right behind the butterfly valve. By the way, cutting titanium pipe with a hacksaw is a real bitch. I cut an angled piece out of a sportster exhaust that I had laying around squeezed it in between the pipe and the can and used the factory mount on the can and the rearset.
