I have the tail a bit more fleshed out. I need to finalize the mounts and glue and screw the whole bit together including a cargo shelf behind the main bulkhead. I will cut a couple of lightening holes in the mid-bulkhead. I am trying to keep it as light as I can especially as I go towards the rear of the tail.

Following the main assembly I will be painting/sealing the frame (for water resistance) prior to complete skinning. I think I have settled on using door skin for the sides of the tail and Coroplast for the top and bottom. I also need to fab up an inner fender for under the tail.

After that, I will wire up the lighting and change the gearing on the bike. I will either go 15/41 or 15/39 (the latter requires shortening the chain).

Other than the big things the rest will be polishing up the details.





The LED tail/brake light I will be mounting on the end of the tail. Tail/Brake Light Bar | Trailer Lights & Lamps | Truck/Trailer | Super Bright LEDs
