Ok i finished the tail modeling.

I dont know about you guys, but i think this mock up looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

One thing to note: in that model, the dimensions are base on me sitting on my bike with the suspension compressed in an idle state. I dont think i would be able to have the underside of the fairing that low to the ground as it is in the model. Ill have to do some testing to see how low my bike can get with the suspension fully compressed.

Now i have to figure out if i can get this model into SolidWorks for some CFD testing
