kz1000e tail fairing fit a csr?

I really like the look of the 1000e tail fairing:
1000E, NOT MY BIKE:


Anyone know if that tail fairing would fit an '82 CSR?
1000CSR, NOT MY BIKE:


My '82 CSR1000 has no rear fender or tail parts. Since I gotta replace them, I wondered if I might not be able to use the E-model tail?

Of course anything CAN fit, but I think they are different widths as far a bolt on goes. R

There are aftermarket ones at reasonable prices that can be adapted to fit. You may have to do some welding for the mounts though. I like how some have come out here. Like with any mods there is some snags here and there. In my case it looks like I'll have to ditch my fender and use a fender eliminator due to the longer swing arm. Didn't count on that. :dry:

The motorcycle in question is a modified European J-series. So, the tail piece is the same as the North American KZ1000J1, J2, J3; KZ750L-series; KZ750R1;, GPz1100B1, B2; KZ1000R1, R2; and KZ1100R1. It is possible to fabricate this tail piece to fit your motorcycle and has been done by a KZR member. I'll do some digging to find the thread and post it here.


Go to the Paint & Bodywork forum, about a month or so ago I posted a link to someone who made this conversion...it is a long post and buried in the 28 pages of the thread, is a description of how fabbed the tail piece to the frame.

Yes, it's fixed. McDroid edited his original post 722353 which now includes the following working link:

Quoted versions of the pre-edited post contain the original inoperable link.

Go ahead and click the link ^^^ in the edited post.

Good Fortune!

Oh thank you!

Wow! This CSR resto-mod is really, really nice! I love it! :woohoo:

Now I got some reading to do!

Ok,works now. Thanks. A great impovement on the CSR,(I dont like cruisers either.)

As for changing the arse on your bike,I did the same with my CSR (Link below somewhere) but I went for the classic ducktail. I bought a fiberglass repro from ebay and of course it didnt fit so I had to chop it up and remodel it. Id never played with fiberglass before but it was pretty striaghtforward,(though a lot of work).I was very happy with the result.
If you get hold of an original Kawasaki arse,itll be plastic so a whole different process. I dont know if itll be easier to modify iit but I would doubt it.

Better off with fiberglass, it doesn't stick to ABS well.

I haven't really worked with fiberglass much other than my 1/4 and 1/3 scale R/C sailplanes back in the '90's. Fortunately, I am proficient with the MIG and TIG and never been afraid of the angle grinder. LOL So maybe mod'ing up the tail frame to fit an OG fairing would be the way to go for me.
Ironically, my CSR came with an original, made in Japan, KZ900? KZ1000? tail fairing but I just can't get into it on this bike. Dunno why. The 1000e tail reminds me alot of my 550a's hiney:

and again, I don't know why but I dig this look.

Well, I really appreciate the help on this guys and also McDroid - you RoCk! for digging the old thread outta mothballs for me!
