My Hayabusa tail conversion to GSXR1000K8

I have the kit that Samaki made. I bought from him last year. Due to having a baby, the military making me move and an injury I have yet to install the kit.

Hi. I need the kit for my bike. Do you still have it for sale? I am interested in buying it from you.
 
For a few months I have been working on a tail conversion for my 2011 that I want to share with you. I decided against the kits that were available due to cost and went with my own plan using a Gen I subframe. This methods allows the use of the stock seat after a little modification to the shape of the pan.

This is the tail section completed.

These are the rails I made using a Gen I subframe as a donor. You can use a Gen II but it is worth more if you want to sell it, or you can save it and swap back to the original tail section if you want. The round tubing, the attach fittings and the foot peg mounting hard points are from the original subframe. I used 2011 GSXR600 pegs, but there are many out there that will do the job.

The new rails mated with the GSXR1000 seat box. Both 2007 and 2008 will work with this method.

Best to get the complete subframe with the plastic inner fender which contains the battery box and a nest for the ECU. It is very clean using a license plate relocater like this. There is a LED light installed on the bracket to light the tag.

Nice clean lines and very streamlined. I weighed my bike when completed and found that doing this mod, installing a 12 cell lithium ion battery and a four-into-one Yoshimura exhaust header with a Hindle titanium can removed 54 pounds of weight. With the weight reduction, plus the fact that I weight 170 pounds, the suspension has needed a lot of adjustment on both ends but I about have that sorted. I used PVC plastics from Neverland on Ebay and was pleased with the fit, plus PVC is easy to work with. There is a bit of material removal on the side pieces to get it all to fit over the new rails.

The wiring from the Hayabusa harness to the GSXR1000 tail light harness was a direct fit. I had the swap locations of two wires in the K8 harness to get all the lighting to work. With the lithium ion battery there is room in the battery box for the starter relay, plus locations elsewhere for any and all electrical components originally in the tail section. The relays in the rubber boots fit right onto the spaces provided on the K8 plastic inner fender.

The completed bike. Many thanks to SKECHE for help with the graphics. He is a patient man and was very helpful.

The cost breakdown for me was:

$150 2008 GSXR1000 subframe with seat box and plastic inner fender/battery box.
$177 Tail cowl set.
$86 K8 tail light assembly, turn signals and connecting harness.
$16 License plate relocate with LED light.
$140 Ballistic 12 cell lithium ion battery. (you can do without this but it makes it a lot simpler)
Then paint and graphic prices will vary depending on what you want.

I made a jig for the rails if anyone is interested I could help as time permits. PM me with any questions. These Hayabusas are awesome bikes!
This is a bad ass set up !! I’m actually looking into making brackets like yours or anything that would work do you have any pics of The measurements on the rails? Or a few more pics? Figured I’d ask . But thanks ahead of time !
 
Hi Mate. Im about to start doing the same conversion as your gen1 with 750 k3 tail. Can you please give me some pointers to help. Much appreciated.
You can click on the members name and see if they are still active. Looks like he has not been around in over 2 years now, so don’t hold your breath on a reply from him. Good luck with the conversion.
 
Hey guys, I am still around, just living in Europe for a few years with my Busa at home in the US. I would be happy to help you with your project with photos and any other help that I can give. PM me with your email and I will get some pictures to you.

Hi there. I’m interested. Pls let me know cost and lead time for completion if you are able to help make one for me. Appreciate.
 
I am back in the US now and have made a few sets of the rails for the GSXR1000 K7 tail conversion. I have one set remaining and plan to build three more sets in the next few weeks. If anyone is interested in a set, feel free to PM me and I will send you photos of an available set bolted to a Hayabusa frame and a K7 GSXR1000 seat box.
Definitely interested sent a pm
