Ewww

Agreed! Way to ruin an otherwise nice bike... and yes Roxette was a poor choice, I cringed at the time and it hasn't improved with age... how Eurovision ever made it to the top of the charts is beyond me! lol

Got around to working on the tail today, did a lot of sanding, some more epoxy and a thin layer of body filler and a lot more sanding and it is finally getting close to how I want it.

Nice work! Not your first time doing bodywork, it would seem...

Thanks. It's not my first time doing body work but it is my first time modifying fairings like this. I really didn't know what to expect doing it how I did but is turning out alright.

Started to paint the tail. It's not done but I threw it on to make sure I like the color on it. Here's a pic.

Excellent idea and workmanship!

It's odd how my mind is still looking for those turn signal wings that my eyes don't see in that last picture.

I had a bit of a set back when painting, the stand I had the tail on fell over and busted up the right side and I had to re do it.

I finally got around to working on my other tail fairing. I figured I'd keep it simple an just put in tail lights. I thought i was gona be as simple as cutting the holes and everything would fit right but that wasn't the case. A little body filler fixed things right up now I just got to figure a way to mount the light, I'm thinking a couple rubber straps.

Close to being finished, I still need to decide on the mounting bracket and just a little body filler. Hopefully I will have it finished by next weekend.
