Hyper Form tailsection - undertail job

[incogbdog]

I know that this has been done before and posted on here as well. I just wanted to post some pictures of mine...

This is how it started out...



I used this mesh to fill in the underside. I drilled small holes around the outside and used zip ties to hold the mesh in place.


I then layed a layer of fiber glass over the mesh on the outside and on the inside to hold the mesh in place.


Next, I used a little body filler to smooth everything out.


After a little sanding and a coat of primer, this is how it looked.


I just got my L.E.D. tail lights in; I'll post some pics when I have at all done.

Ditto, and it's a very good guide on how to modify the Hiperform tail - sweet.

Do you have updated pics with the LED tails or did you post them in a more recent thread?

good job.. nice pics.

good job matey, polyester flo-coat helps smoove things out and makes a great key for the primer!

Thanks guys! I got the idea from Robs321's original post above...

Here is the only picture that I have at the moment of the finished product... I got lazy in doing the LED lights as you can see. I'll do something about the lights down the road. The LED's that you see on either side of the tag are super bright red LED's that act as running lights, blinkers and tail lights.

I have two questions that are probably really dumb, but I will ask anyway. 1) What seat pad are you using on that? It looks thick and a whole lot more comfy than mine.
2) What front plastics are those? They look really nice from this angle, got any front views?

I know I ended last winter with my R6 tail and subframe being put together....but I am really really liking the hiperform tail. Especially with the under side closed in. I think I might forget about the R6 tail and go with the Hiperform tail....that way I don't have to wait on a aluminum welder and I know it will all fit and look badass.

incogbdog:
Nice job on the work too, it looks really good. I was following your project from when you first posted it....alot of nice choices/ideas.

The seat is a HRC seat pad (cut down) that I bought from Hyperform. The fairings are for an NC35 (VFR400).

Thank you... I really like the look of the Hyperform tail as well.

Another dumb question....Where to get that mesh??? I need some for other projects...
