Gave up on the fairing and decided to finish up most of the work on the rear fender/taillight. The fender was completely shaved,smoothed,the sides were brought down 1 inch in the center then blended out and the taillight is completely hand made except the actual taillight housing. The taillight housing is an NOS piece for a 1981 CB750K I had in my stash. The main taillight bracket was designed to look like the bracket for the 81 750K,everything is in primer,now onto the front fender.

While a SuperGlide is one of my favorite bikes that's not the direction here,the look of my old 750K is what I'm after.
 
Wow, that's great work. For the rear fender, did you modify the stock piece, or work with another fender to make it fit the CB? Can you do a closer shot of the line of the rear fender around the rear wheel?

That is a stock fender that has been completely reworked,I'll get a few pictures later today.
 
Yea for some reason it does look like it's sitting more like a harley.

Looks lower in the rear end/seat than the tank and front of the bike.

I like it

That's some smooth metal work! And quite a tuck on that wheel. The newly shaped taillight housing is a good match for that fender. It goes together nicely from a visual standpoint.

I still need the reshape the radius a little towards the front and thinking about making a fiberglass extension to bring to front of the fender down about 6 inches.
 
that front fender does look good....reminds me of the one on my former '83 cb1100f w/ that upswept air foil to kick air onto the oil cooler.
