when you change the rear seat plastics most people buy a complete subframe to match, but if you're looking to fit it to your zxr subframe then you will have to more than likely chop the subframe and/or make brackets to fit.

Look at it carefully and you will notice its half ZXR400 (the front bit) and half R6/R1 (the back bit). My guess is they have plastic welded it together and finished it off nicely.

The bits that offer upto the tank look exactly like the ZXR's.

rob's right, it's a bit of a mongrel tailpiece.

here's an 01 R6 - same tail (albeit with pillion pad). but the front bits are completely different.

whole load more pics here:
http://www.bikepics.com/yamaha/r6/01/pics.asp

however the front of the tailpiece in the photos is clearly standard l-model zxr. look at any photo on the site.

it is very tidily done.
In the garage:
Kawasaki ZXR400 L3 - shiny
Suzuki DR800 - bouncy
1978 Suzuki GS400 - PROJECT RETRO RACER!
Kawasaki GPz500S - for sale soon
Honda CG125 BR-J - in bits

up at the tank/round the sides of the sub frame i think mine is different and covers more of the subframe.

Yeah the standard seat uni covers the subframe, but in that they obviously fancied something different and fancied exposing some of it.
