Ok I dont know about the whole spooky thing but ok lol lol....

As far a chopping the sub That was my first thought. But hey its summer and I want to ride my bike!!! I have a cruiser in the stable but it is not as fun hitting the mountians of colorado..

So I made a bracket for the tail light and got some reading material on how to fiberglass!!!!! We will see if I can pull out something cool if not the tig welder will be fired up!!!!

Anyone have any good link for fiberglass that I might not have post the up or pm me with them.. If I can make it work I will do a write up on my experience lol llol.... Wish me Luck

This was my first crack at fibreglassing too.
Mongrel of a job if you ask me but well worth it because you end up with something very unique.

I modded a TLs seat, re-placed the Bandit seat latch and went nuts with some foam to get the shape I wanted.

I only put the old Renthals on to get an idea of how it all looked somewhat together.
