Tis true... mine were fully enclosed but think that the load rating would be about the same. They were fine on mine but maybe suggest putting another nut on each just to sure up the thread.

Pete you need to use a compression strut not a turnbuckle. Turnbuckles are designed to work in tension. Like this.

Seen as though your already so popular with the Macksville Po Po, hows the new seat gonna hold up Mate? Are you prepping for a rodgering?

The tail looks fuckin' awesome but the bunnings struts are ghey as.
If I was using that tail I would find a fence mob that does wrought iron gates and have them make up a couple of lengths of twisted bar to replace them and have them chromed, but if your going for that ghey look you've nailed it.
thanks Dan,im going to replace them with the one u guys have suggested,,yes tod thats texs busa,he dropped it in his shed and scratched up the right side pretty bad i managed to buff 90% of them out ,Tex suggested running a hugger to keep th cops off my back
hey mate looking good so far .
but um will ur gut fit in there ??
ive ridden it i fit ,just ,lol
Hey Pete, its looking great mate. Im not keen on them struts either, and glad your replacing them. When I 1st seen it I thought they were temp just to give you an idea of where to locate the bolting point. But I really liking that tail mate.
cheers luke just got to mount the headlights next then a quick orange paint job ,,for a temp ,then a full repaint just b4 NFR
ive bought aluminium strap to replace the ghey stainless things
ive panel boned a few things together now putting the wiring up.Tex tells me that the cops will defeat the bike bc the rear seat doesnt go to the centre of the rear axle ,so im contemplating a hugger

around here they measure an angle 45-degree's up and out
from the rear spindle. Cop's were stopping dozens a while
back between Ferny Grove and Samford to ticket everyone
that had a "tail-tidy/fender illiminator/short rear guard"
I had the same check between Mt G and Mt Nebo too.
just a quick hit of trumpy orange ,till i get enough time to repaint the whole bike
