Seat cowl

[treedoc_imp]

Progress update, I am really happy with how things are going so far.

I filled a couple of bits and then sorted out the lines I wanted, and cut it down to closer to the final size.







Then I put three more layers of glass on. I displayed my ignorance by purchasing chopped fibre mat, which is supposed to be used with polyester resin (I am using epoxy resin).
So I couldn't use the mat and had to use scraps of the glass cloth I had left over.

So instead of laying the final 2 layers in one piece I used multiple odd shaped pieces, which meant the shape suffered a little, although nothing that cant be sanded out, it just made a bit more work.



It is nice and sturdy, I dont think there is much risk it will break.

Mixagon I appreciate your advice, I saw videos of your method, which looked good and I tried to make a mold, but my mold wasn't accurate enough, and if it doesn't look good I wouldn't put it on the bike.

Also as you can see above it has a shape that would be hard to get out of a mold, it has a lip that folds under the seat to hold it down.
It slides on from the rear of the seat and it will be attached to the bolts that hold the strap under the seat to stop it sliding back.



I like the way the shape of the tank is carried through to the cowl, its a bit hard to see with all the bog but I am really happy with the shape.
