Gave up on doing the fiberglass after reading some post. Bought an Interceptor tail section from ROC City that fit perfect with little modifications.

Picked up some rear shocks from the Toronto motorcycle show from a British aftermarket dealer but they fit good and produced a 1 inch seat height gain.

Back together after paint. Paint was done by Airborn Airbrushing in Waterdown Ontario. Very resonable and great guy that is also a rider.

Universal slip on mufflers, closer to the originals, and much easier on the ears. Neighbors approve!

I moved the battery and the electronics up under the seat. Replaced the original battery with a much smaller Ballistic battery. Pictures coming of that.

It does stay pretty solid. Quick thread here.
