Well, got my OTR rear hugger to go with the new style rear, Hummmm not happy! Very poor fitment, as you can see the holes are out by quite a bit!! Perhaps it's just my bike lol. But any way I don't much care for the style, so you guessed it, I'm going to remake this too! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/02/aqu8uva9.jpg

Not liking this shape, think I'm going to mimic the lines and shape of the front weather shield....mudguard.
And probably extend it slightly to taiper to a point as well, like the front. Should Mach the tail pan shape then.
Also going to sacrifice the chain guard into the new mould to keep it looking original'ish. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/02/5u3a7abu.jpg

Thank you very much Simon Roma, and Kev, I appreciate the encouragement! It's taking its sweet time but it'll get there. I'm no quitter ! :003:

Oh and the clay is prep for the mould, don't forget this is the " plug " shame it's gonna end up in the bin!

It's turning out to be quite complex to mould! 3 parts, only cause I made a return lip/flange facing rearward hard to explane but see the finished result soon ,hopefully lol, or it could fail badly!
