Rear shock too close?? Fiberglass airbox and rear "under-tail"w/battery tray...HELP
Hey guys!
I've been scratching my head for a few days now and I still haven't been able to fabricate a good enough airbox and undertail for my XT600 setup... The first few attempts were a disaster... I think it's the type of resin.. it just won't dry completely! It's always tacky plus it all just wasn't good enough... So, I'm going in a different way this time.. here are some pictures...     This is a picture from before...  Now: 1 - with the bike on the sidestand I got 21cm of clearance between the battery tray and the rear tire. 2 - with the bike standing upright I got 16.5cm of clearance. 3 - with me pushing down with my whole weight on the end of the frame I get about 9.5cm of clearance (with gear 120kg) Should I go in a different way with the battery tray as it will give me about 10 cm more clearance and just make a small box to fit it behind the left handside plastic fairing (where it originally fits)???? Tomorrow morning I'm gonna buy some different resin and hardener and try it...

It will have a fiberglass "sheet" mated with the rear black licenseplate holder beneath the battery and the airbox so it looks as one piece!

Updates!
         Still a couple of things to do on it as you can see but they'll be done later as I figure out where exactly I'll need to make some "fins" to fit and hold the battery and the other small electric parts.. and of course...painting the whole box! lol Vando
