RE: custom tail sections
I got one for ya. This is the tail on my 95' and its the original with modifications. I cut it in half ans removed about and inch from each half. Then I made a mold and made the fiberglass bubble that is now in place of the passenger seat. I cut the bottom of the tail up a little this season because I thought it would look a little racier. The first pic is last season with my custom under tail, and the second is this season with my side pipe V&H. The tail light is made for tractor trailers but it fits and works. Shaved off a fair bit of weight with this tail. Didn't make an undertail because I have the rear fender. Enjoy.

RE: custom tail sections
Thanks guys. I'll be honest this was not easy, i never fiber glassed before. The mold took a few days just to make and fiberglass sin't the easiest thing to work with. And I had to taper the last foot of the sub frame in about 2 inches, and re-weld a more narrow brace. I like it but if I had to do it again I might just get a track tail and mod as necessary. Did any of you guys see the imported German made custom tails for our bikes on ebay. They were pretty nice.
