Topic: CB750-F SS 'Filthy Beast'

I'm starting the build on my 'Filthy Beast'

First thing I wanted to do is decide which way I wanted to go with it.  I decided on cafe, but I need help deciding on the look.  I used photoshop to get some options.  I plan on drag bars, and flat side panels.  I mostly needed opinions on the rear cowl. Which one do you like.

If my level of experience or amount of effort factor in you'll need to know the following:

  - I plan on using fiberglass (first time).
  - I would prefer the under tail mounted light vs. flush mount.
  - I'll probably use rhino-liner on tins tanks and side cover.
  - This is my first build, but I'm rather industrious.

As far as overall look, I plan on using the chrome button fasteners off 5 and 6 and I want it to look tough as much if not more than racey...

I might even fab handlebars from rebar.

To me, the use of rhino lining makes a bike look rough and gritty.
For that, my vote goes to 3 or 6.
The other profiles are great too, but look a bit more refined than your suggested direction.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Here is a more detailed shot of 6.  The cowl in this one would be a mold of the back of the tank with an angle cut to reveal the taillight.

was a toss up for me on 3 and 6 but went with 3.

I have a parallel thread on dotheton.com and #3 is in the lead.

I worked up a model based on suggestions....

What other suggestions?  I think based on what I have so far I'll glass bead cases, mags, and peg mounts to give a satin brushed look.

I like 6 as the tail light seems to be molded right in. That is what I am planning on doing for my bike.

I will be building an F model next. I like number 3 as well, nice to see that it looks cool with flat bare as i intend to use super bike bars, easier on the back. Now all i have to do is learn to use Photo shop, its really nice to be able to see what your bike looks like before you actually build it.
