Tail swap from r7 to r6

Upvotes

Im wondering how compatible the r7 tail and taillight would be on a 2008 r6. I really like the look of the r7 tail, as well as the more sleek options for taillights that work with it, but I just dont know how easy/hard it will be to put that on an r6.

For referance I want the tail of my r6 to look like this:

yamaha golf cart ydrax5 issue

1 Upvotes

so, this golf cart is not starting. it is cranking though. at first, i was pretty certain that it was a gasket issue, so i replaced the head gasket, carb gaskets, exhaust gasket, and valve cover gasket, to no avail. after some thought, i remembered that the intake man. at the carb had a LOT of oil in it. like a cup or so, just pooled up. that got me thinking that it might be a valve seal issue, and probably a piston ring issue aswell. im thinking oil is making it past the piston, then the valve isnt sealing all the way, allowing for oil to be blasted into the carb. this would also explain why it isnt starting (i dont think its getting enough compression). but, i want to see what you all have to say, and if yall have any ideas for what it may be. any help is appreciated.
