heres what I got done last night.. Im just using bondo hair to fuse it with the stock body work,ill smooth it all out and shape it,gelcoat it, then make the mold of it..

[dgyver]

Looks similar to what JamesG made. It needs mounting hole reliefs unless you plan on just drilling through it and have the bolt heads exposed. Also, you better make it a 2-piece mold.

Looks good! So that started off as a ebayed tail, and you shaped it/layed it out w/ fiberglass? Cool! Hmmmmm

You definitely need to make two so I can buy one off of you for my bike that I am getting ready to race

Exactly correct!

Here is a James G tail section that I bolted on to a stock seat pan (front half) so it retains the stock seat release.

yea ill figure out the mounting issues when I get there, and I wasnt too sure about the mold being one or two peice, thanks..

no this started off as nothing, I just made it out of really thin plywood,if you can even call it that, then layed fiberglass over it.. Its all one of a kind

Ill try to make a few, but I cant promise anything...      btw do you skim??

[rob1bike]

From scratch huh, you got some skills! I've been toyn with the idea of taken a extra stock "tail" and maken a solo tail that would use the stock seat lock, with a custom seat. I think I have to raise the rearend to get it to look right.  But what your doing looks great!!!

I am not familiar with skiming(or skim), or am confused on what you are asking.
