ok so i got a 05 R6 and i wasnt in love with the feet postions when your standing on them and the problem with the seat popping off so i made my self a tail saver... i love it.... a couple ppl saw it and asked me to make them one. so any one looking for a tail saver for a R6 i got you.... there nothing super crazy or detailed... I recently changed over from 16 gauge alum to 16 gauge steel and changed the shape ever so slightly after a years worth of rider feedback. They use your front seat bolts to fasten it to the bike.... you do have to modify your rear seat.. you just have to cut it back a little. And I currently offer different options as follows...
1) Bare steel $45 + shipping (add $5 for griptape)
2) Powder coated and griptaped $55 + shipping (only the back is powdered because the griptape sticks better to the steel)
1) the actual bare steel is shinny. I just forgot to take a pix before I put it in the oven

2) powdered and taped
Back

Front

Now for modifying the rear seat you just have to cut back the plastic alittle... You wanna follow the bodyline of the tail plastic (1*). You pretty just have to cut the V out of the plastic on the rear set but go slow with it and cut little by little to get a perfect fit. This is to give u a general idea how far to cut back but I still recommend u cut back little by little for the best fit posable (2*)

Any other questions feel free to ask
