OK I am thinking of putting these on my xb12r but I would like to see some pics of them mounted and info/opinions.I am unsure how they will mount and really dont want them making the bike look like its missing spaces.I just want a more aggressive look on the tail.

Never seen subframe spacers for an XBR. An XBS, yes, but not on an XBR. Maybe you could post some pics of what your thinking.

with the trojan spacers installed, there will be a decent size gap between the tail cowling and the frame....I wanted to do the same thing so I asked the maker of them and thats what he told me....

Does anybody have this mod done yet?

he said he didnt have any pics of them installed on the R models, only S. S models dont have the back plastic, thus no gap...

yellow dot is where the spacer goes.
teal is where the gap will be.
tail spacer

xb tail spacer

I got a email back from them yesterday and they said they should have pics soon hopefully.either way I will more than likely get it and if I dont like it im shure I can resell it for not much of a loss.

IMO thats not a good modd to spend $$$ on for a R.... plus the seat would be at an odd angle and too the seat cowl with the ugly gap.... to make it look more aggressive try removing the passenger peggs

Ya I got quoted around 110 shipped to me but I still like them.

After thinking about the gap somemore I think I will take the bottom 2 subframe bolts loose this weekend and manually lift the tail to see if the gap will be acceptable.
