I'm contemplating a 75% detachable boattail, but I can't devote the time to it right now and I'm going to start with the most practical step first: a kammback that does not require mounting any taillights.

I may not be able to resist the boattail for too long with all this encouragement/egging on.

On the other hand, if I use it as a marketing tool with my logo on it I may be able to convince my lady to let me have at it. The question is would it be good or bad PR? The media likes to take the piss out of anyone doing their own thing. Canadians can be daisy cutters.
