modded hiperform tail!

[robs321]

i got my tail just after xmas and decided the underseat pipe look wasnt for me! so i decided to fab up the rear end to take some lights and number plate brackets! how am i doing?






theres still plenty of sanding to do! i was not impressed that a load of the gel coat came off just by dusting off with the airline! so ive had to flo-coat a lot of it to fill the holes but thats just a minor worrie when you own a dog of a bros like me?

I love it! Great work... I too, am using the Hawkworks tail and am not a fan of the under tail exit exhaust. I may have to do something like that to mine as well. I can only hope that it will look as nice as yours though...

its not a hard job to do, i got some aluminium gauze from a motorfactors what they use to repair rust holes. then its just a case of laying on the fiber glass and wetting it in. decent flo-coat helps smooth things out! but there will be plenty of sanding too!
i held the gauze in place with a few dabs of hot glue!



make sure you overlap plenty of matting underneath fo strength!

nice work....what would look cool as well..and i have seen it and its pretty trick...you cut slots about 1/4 wide in any fasion you like in the rear of your tail....put some wire mesh or something in there...then run some high intensity red LEDs inside the tail pointing out the back shining through the mesh...looks pretty trick when its all done

Aluminum gauze... a great idea. Looks like I have a new project!
