mikesheiman EcoModding Lurker Join Date: Mar 2015 Location: Texas Posts: 29 Thanks: 15 Thanked 11 Times in 11 Posts	Recommended rear shape and/or ducting I have the following project trike (4-seater, like an extended Polaris Slingshot, with 3 wheels to make it street legal as a motorcycle) and am working on the tail end. I made that admittedly amateur sheet foam tail myself, but am curious if I, say, should be using a more or less aggressive tapering angle and also curious what I should do for the (now open) top. Any ideas? Will post more pics at different angles when I get home.
