Project"636"tail swap.Final VERSION!!

badassjake · Nov 24, 2004

In the begining was time.....and as time went on there was idle time.....and then boredome!!.

That being said....here are the begining pics of the 2000 ZX6R to 2004 636 subframe/tail section conversion.

I did not see any posts or pics of anyone else doing this so I'll start.....

Thanks to ebay for the wonderfully cheap pricing!!

i wonder what the seat is going to look like[?]

03ZX6Rider · Nov 24, 2004

yeah man, def willing to see the finished product. Keep us posted!!

badassjake · Nov 24, 2004

Side by side comparing, the seats are almost exactally identical!!
The only slight difference is that the newer one is 1/4in. smaller ...so close that it gave me chills!!....the welding will be the tricky part, but simple at the same time.

The new tail doesn't mount on a 2000 ? Why do you want to do welding ? The holes of the screws are not the same ?
Can u post pics after job ?

cyberdos · Nov 24, 2004

eagerly waiting to see the finished product and write-up. [

oh wow this is going to be wicked

all this time i wanted an expensive undertail/cowl/taillight combo, when what i really wanted was a 636 ass on my '99

this is a nailbiter i tell ya!

02 z_x_6_r · Nov 25, 2004

I would love to see this completed I have been thinking about doing this on mine i just havent had the time or money to do it

badassjake · Nov 26, 2004

Update......

Pieces are measured and cut....prepped and ready for welding!!

Went to take a pic or two......batteries dead......Will try to get some tomorrow!!

Looking great so far....simple 8 cuts and careful measuring.....came out perfect!!!(so far)

sweeeeeeeeeet

badassjake · Nov 26, 2004

OK....he's the pics ...so far.

jman636 · Nov 26, 2004

I think that is awsome that your are doing that swap. That is the one thing that i hate about pre 03 ZX'S, the tail. ALL big and bulky with the grap bars on the side. Good thinking man. And good luck. I cannot wait to see it....

badassjake · Nov 26, 2004

Ok.....parts are at the shop....welding is taking place as we speak(you read)......

Does anyone have a lead on a tail light assembly?....still yet to find one on ebay again....and an undertail, any condition...all has to be painted too....oh!...and a rear seat or tail cover?

Thanks

Jason

badassjake · Nov 27, 2004

Well, giant crap sticks......the shop totally misread what's happening and turned around and is now saying it might take up to 4 HOURS!!! to do the necessary welding!!??

I'm off to another shop......somewhere where the welders aren't blind!

One small setback....lol

there acctualloy is a tail light on ebay right now, i looked under 636, do a search, i just saw it today

03ZX6Rider · Nov 27, 2004

then get him the damn link loser

maxx1384 · Nov 27, 2004

fuck off asshole, i shoulda let that kid kick ur ass......

03ZX6Rider · Nov 27, 2004

haha you dork!

danielzx6r · Nov 27, 2004

damn i was hoping it would just mount up, as i have the spares, and both model bikes. I can't wait to see the pics.

I need ot have a look at hte subframe.. maybe it can be bent to be mountable?

danielzx6r · Nov 27, 2004

I also wonder if you could cut those side braces and bend the bars to fit the 02 subframe tab mounts? Hmmm.. sell the subframe on ebay.. or try to fit it on my J1 hmm

badassjake · Nov 27, 2004

That's what I was thinkin....bending.....but would make a mess more than anything and it would definatelt weakin the structure....the bottom part is kinda close but the top has to come a long way to fit.

Update....I do believe I have found a reasonable welder...just have to get him the pieces now.

Jason
PS..thanks....I'm searching ebaY right now.

Lyzic · Nov 28, 2004

asking a favour here, document what you're doing, like where/how much you cut, etc.

so i can copy you that much easier

don't worry, you are over in the maritimes, noone will ever know

buzzard · Nov 28, 2004

Looks good. I am really curious to see the end result!

badassjake · Nov 29, 2004

This mod is all for those who want...I will share....

I'll do a final "needs" and "must haves", when I am done, with complete pictures and drawings.

All I would ask is to give me the proper "props" and recognize the site as the source......all about respect these dayz.

Till Monday!

Jason

badassjake · Nov 29, 2004

Monday is good so far.....Took it to the "man"...where I should have gone in the first place....lol.

Anyway....it's being done once again, as I write.

Sweet. I'd be very interested in seeing a detailed breakdown of how youd did this. I wish there were a simpler way than having to weld though...
