Well it all started out as putting some aluminum on the bike, but I've decided late tonight to go with a P-51 Mustang ''theme''.
Went and picked up a piece of 16 gauge Aluminum sheet metal and started hammering away. I used a dead blow, normal hammer, washing machine, rag, and a pallet to get this made up :D
I made it an extended flyscreen
Then did the spacer ''relocation'' thing on the front turn signals
I will be polishing the aluminum
Where the machine gun barrels will stick out at

The tail
The sub frame will be made out of 3/16'' steel, then covered with fiberglass
Has just enough room to mount the battery in there, and the fuse box and ecm will be stuffed in there somewhere
There is the same amount of space inbetween the air box and the tail fin as the stock seat
Tail will be painted red, like a red tail P-51
Fiberglass this gap and smooth it out
Front fender I'm planning on adding an aluminum fender or at least a polished strip down the middle, then painting the front tip of the fender red.
More to come tomorrow.

Looks more like a Cessna 172 tail to me. You should make the tail lower and extend it out longer. I sure hope you dont go down cuz you're going to be riding on an axe.
It doesnt have a rudder on the back but idk if I even want to have on hanging off the back just for looks. If I fall I doubt fiberglass in my ass is going to be my biggest concern lol.
I've not been as interested in following a build in a while. This has the makings of an awesome looking bike.
Just make sure that tail doesn't turn into a thong under hard "take offs".!.
The only thing I can think of is cross winds will be a horrible going down the road with that fin on the back.
you did a nice job on that aluminum piece up front.
that was exactly my first thoughtThe only thing I can think of is cross winds will be a horrible going down the road with that fin on the back.
please dont tell me your putting wings on it too. not to be a dick but people might make fun of you saying" gee i didnt know buell had an airline too" the front looks mean as **** tho.
