Yeh thats what he told me, did he have anymore info other than, its coming out soon?. he also said he thinks they might be using the original subframe so that would reduce the cost compaired to the other rcv seat units they do.

Im waiting for it to come out then doing a possible rothmans rcv rep other the winter

Goes really well with the standard front fairings, unlike the tyga rear.

I agree, its in proportion to the rest of the bodywork.

Check out GPC Moto's website for all the parts.

Located in the USA, but the green$back is pretty weak at the moment making good buying!

GPC imports that tail from Japan, so I would suggest try to look for the dealer in Japan first. The tail cost US$260.00 and you will need mod it to fit a tail light.

The early gen tyga stuff didn't hold up very well in a stack it was very thin, hopefully their later work has improved stackability.

There are probably a few peeps on here that could answer that!

Hi Guys

Good to hear all the feedback on the TYGA parts from you all. With regards to the twin seat tail unit I will keep you all up to date on its progress and as soon as I have some pics and prices I will let you know.

I see some of you have mentioned the old style seat units vibrating alot this has been rectified with the new style seat unit which is also a lot shorter than the old style making it more in proportion with the bike. If you are fitting one of these units it is always worth while using a bit of loctite to keep the screws in place this will make sure none of them fall out and will make sure the bits all stay together properly.

If anyone has anymore feedback please feel free to email me with your suggetions and I will forwrd the ideas onto TYGA so that they can further improve there products
