For ages I have been talking about making some rear guards to match my aero fronts that do not have the big, elephant foot tail lights. Fat smoothies......
A few moulds and alot of filler and sanding till 4am on several weeknights has finally paid off. I am about to do the final 2 piece mould which will be the master mould. From this I will be able to make copies for anyone who wants a set....
I will post lots of pics when finally done however here is a sneak peek!!
I will spend today finishing off the little details...i am then going to paint them gloss black to see how they look for shape...then mould them. Hopefully be ready to bust out copies in a week or two.
...what is the overall width increase and any chance of a photo from the back and side?..... nice work and am interested in a good set of widened rears.... any chance of doing the same for the fronts???
Lookin good boof - reckon I could be interested in a set as well...

Hey guys
Progress has slowed temporarily as i was taken out by a stolen car on my sv1000 coming home from work at high speed. Broken hand now with pins and fractured opposite elbow. Good news is my mate who fibreglasses million dollar boats has been helping me do the moulds. Thank god for that, as i now know i knew nothing about glassing.
We should have moulds complete next week and then will do the first set. I will post pics of them complete asap.
almost a year since he's udated guys... id be giving up & having a crack at your own by this point, or just put up with the elephant foot lights, plently of different lenses around, clear smoked standard & flat, even some that you could make to look alot smaller.... flat lense with 3 small circles of colour... cant rember where i saw them though sorry
