I felt the same way, but i think it has more to do with the stance... Pic's are great I don't think you can catch the stance with the camera. I does look good...

Thanks Mark! The stance will be better after this winter, I have almost all of the Lightning tail pieces for the swap.

MAN does your bike look good oh9 !!!! [up] Talk about stance , yours got it !!! Did your swingarm yet ?
It almost gives me the need to have a Bolt. I always had a soft spot for this wheel color too .... [up]

 

[oh9bolt]

Thanks man!

I have almost all of the parts, just need to make the swap. It will be done for spring!

Every time I see your bike(since the S tail) makes wonder about my Diesel tail lift ..... but my GSX-R tail light is at the right angle with my tail lift ..... feel like trying it without though

 

[oh9bolt]

I was torn on the tail before I got the S tail, I love the lines of the bike and now think that it throws off the natural lines of the bike. Example: the chin fairing headers have a Natural sweeping angle that follows the lines of the tail. I love both looks just prefer the non lifted tail now that I own one.

Kinda good example, I dont agree with the tail lift line in this pic though that only applied to a really short exhaust.if you take off the tail lift the rails follow the green lines and give the bike a aggressive look especially when combined with CG suspension and a Firebolt fairing.

IMO

I'd like to see more that have had tail swaps.

Very nice Sirius, yours? I'm considering that exact chop on mine. I love the stubby rear, makes the back tire look bigger to me. And by leaving the Firebolt front on, it makes the bike look like its moving forward while sitting still.

 

[Sirius815]

Yes mine. The bottom pic is the more current one. Like the chop xbs tail on mine a lot, but there's definitely some spray off the back tire that hits you.

More subtle mods are the shortened upper belt guard and cut out the center of the bottom one. Not sure what I want to do with the front pulley cover yet. Sold the 50dro cover and put the stock one (albeit painted) back on for now.
