Tail lifft on XB12R?

[kristo60]

Anyone have any pics of a firebolt with tail lift? Haven't really come across any on this site, or atleast wasn't aware of it when I saw it. I know trojan horse makes them. Any local manufacturers or perhaps someone on this forum that makes them? How do they affect performance, ride, etc.?

with a stock "R" tail it looks bad...as in barf. once you raise the tail you have a big gap between the plastics and frame.

Whatever floats your boat...

Broken tail

Trojan horse makes a fighter style tail section specifically for the bolt...i think it achieves the "lifted" look IMO.
-Anthony Firebolt lifted tail peice

lol, thats my bike, that did look terrible....
I think with some more r&d i could've made it work, but the trojan horse one looks great.
Think the firebolt tail is a bit too long for the lift, but it does put you in a really comfortable riding position. Wish I could remember the size spacers I made

if you lift the firebolt back end I'd get some beaten up tail plastics and do some cutting and fiberglass work to make the lines match up
